In pictures: Scotland's Big Weekends
- Published
A young Harry Styles was just a fifth of the world's biggest boyband in 2014 when they appeared at their first Big Weekend on the Saturday at Glasgow Green. They were not even the headline act - they opened the show.
Dundee has been announced as the host for 大象传媒 Radio One's Big Weekend 2023.
The music festival will take place in Camperdown Park on 26-28 May with headliners Lewis Capaldi and The 1975.
The event took place at the same site in 2006 and was due to return there in May 2020, before Covid shut down live events.
The Big Weekend has a rich history north of the border, kicking off Glasgow's Commonwealth Games summer in 2014 and venturing to Perthshire's Scone Palace in 2018 as 大象传媒 Music's Biggest Weekend.
Last year, the festival headed to Coventry with a line-up including headliner Harry Styles, Ed Sheeran, Sam Fender, George Ezra, Lorde, Fontaines D.C. and Sigrid.
Here we take a look back at some of the huge stars who performed at the event in Scotland.
All five members of One Direction enjoyed solo careers, but would Mr Styles have imagined at this point he would return to the city in 2022 to play a sold-out Ibrox Stadium?
Katy Perry was Glasgow 2014's main stage Sunday headliner, bringing her trademark colourful stage show to Glasgow Green.
The Biggest Weekend was staged at Scone Palace in 2018. Noel Gallagher closed the show at the Perthshire estate on the Saturday with his High Flying Birds. He was reported to have left a cheeky message in the palace visitor book. He wrote: "A palace? My gaff's bigger than this", followed by his signature and two kisses.
In 2014 the festival was split between Glasgow's George Square - seen lit up here - and Glasgow Green.
