Coldplay are the first headliners to be announced for this year’s Radio 1 Big Weekend in Scotland.

The event is taking place on May 24th and is being held for 2014 at Glasgow Green.

“We are absolutely thrilled to have been asked to play Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Glasgow this year,” drummer Will Champion told the station.

“Playing in Glasgow is always so much fun and Radio 1 have always been wonderful to us so it couldn’t really be any better!”

Coldplay are heading back out on the live trail in readiness for the release of their latest album ‘Ghost Stories‘, also due in May. The band recently announced the details of a series of low-key shows around the world during the coming months, including a visit to the Royal Albert Hall in London on July 1st, while US shows in New York and Los Angeles are due in May.
