Radio 1's Big Weekend 2013 Location Revealed

The location and 2 acts for Radio 1's Big Weekend 2013 have been revealed.

This year Radio 1's Big Weekend will be heading to......... Londonderry in Northern Island. Radio 1's Big Weekend has visited Londonderry before in 2004 but the site is different for the 2013 event; the reason it is re-visiting Londonderry is because the city again celebrates its status as UK City Of Culture for 2013.

But the location wasn't the only thing confirmed this morning (31st January 2013) 2 acts were also confirmed and they were Olly Murs and Two Door Cinema Club.

But this year for the first time ever the event will be a 3 day event rather than previous years when it has only been a 2 day event, and on the first day will focus on dance music and Radio 1Xtra. The month for the event were also confirmed as being in May from the 24th (Friday) - 26th (Sunday).

 The location in Londonderry for the event is in its city centre with 2 main stages of live music.

Tickets information for the 2013 event is currently not known.
