BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend line-up: Full list of confirmed stars for festival
Zara Larsson, Louis Tomlinson and Lola Young have joined the line-up.
BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend is returning for another year – and now the line-up for Saturday has been revealed.
The annual musical festival will return to Herrington Country Park for three days of music from Friday 22 May – Sunday 24 May.
The first wave of names were announced last week, with music legend Fatboy Slim set to headline the opening night. Other acts on the line-up for Friday include Sonny Fodera, Danny Howard and Ewan McVicar.
Now, it has been announced that Zara Larsson, Louis Tomlinson and Lola Young will perform on the main stage on Saturday.
They'll be joined by Nothing But Thieves, Skye Newman and Ellie Goulding.
Tickets for the Friday Dance Party went on sale on Friday, while tickets for Saturday and Sunday will go on sale at 5pm on Wednesday, with ticket allocation being geographically weighted, as in previous years.
