The festival is coming to Dundee, three years after it was supposed to happen in the city.
The news was confirmed by Greg James on the Radio 1 Breakfast Show.
"This is an incredible opportunity for Dundee and we are looking forward to hosting such an exciting event at Camperdown Park after the disappointment of 2020's cancellation," John Alexander, Dundee City Council leader, says. "Radio 1's Big Weekend will showcase Dundee not only to the tens of thousands of people who attend, but also the millions who will watch and listen through the BBC.
"We expect a huge economic boost for the area as the event has been worth millions of pounds to previous host locations."It will be the second year the event has returned since the start of the pandemic, with Big Weekend happening virtually in 2020 and 2021.
