2013
The new Radio 1 Breakfast Show host Nick Grimshaw announced that the Big Weekend would return to Derry/Londonderry in May 2013, the same city that hosted the first of the two 2004 Big Weekends (although the actual site is different). For the first time, the Big Weekend will extend to a third day. Alongside that initial announcement were the confirmation of the first two acts, Olly Murs and Two Door Cinema Club, with the rest of the line-up being announced by Grimshaw during another Radio 1 Breakfast Show on Monday 6 May. The venues of this years Big Weekend will be in the heart of the city, with 2 stages in the Ebrington site, one stage at the Vital Venue tent, and another in the square itself. It is currently unclear which stage will be where.
