Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds are among the headliners confirmed for the first ever BBC’s Biggest Weekend, which will be held across various outdoor UK venues in May.

Gallagher is heading up to Scotland to top Scone Palace in Perth, while Manic Street Preachers and Beck are on the 6Music led bill at the Titanic Slipways in Belfast with Courtney Barnett and Public Service Broadcasting.

In total, 175,000 tickets will be available at four different locations – Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran some of the big name pop acts due at another of those, Singleton Park in Swansea. It’ll all be taking place between May 25th-28th.

“You know it’s the start of the summer when we put on a massive festival, and we’re bringing two of the biggest artists in the world to Swansea,” said Radio 1’s Nick Grimshaw. “Taylor and Ed plus a whole massive line-up to be announced make The Biggest Weekend the event of the year.”

BBC Radio 2’s Chris Evans added:

“The Biggest Weekend is shaping up very nicely indeed. Can’t wait to find out who else is going to be performing.”
