another big coup for the city


Radio 1’s Big Weekend 2022 to take place in Coventry

The event kicks off the UK’s festival season each year, bringing some of the biggest artists to towns and cities around the UK.

Didn’t we only have it a couple of years ago when Liam Gallagher played or was that something different?

Either way cracking news and I’ll be applying for tickets!!

Anyone want to tell me that City of Culture isn’t a good thing for this city?

It was always going to happen due to being City of Culture. Same thing happened to Hull a few years ago

Either way another coup for Cov!

I feel like it was scheduled to be at the Memorial Park a few years ago, but it got cancelled by the council for some reason or other.

Regardless, it's a great event to have in the city. Probably won't attend, but chuffed to bits that it's here.

Good for the city that. What kind of numbers would an event like that attract?

That was Biggest Weekend, a spin off from Big Weekend that covered all channels not just Radio 1 and was at multiple venues.

Council were offered it in 2011 and turned it down so we missed out on Foo Fighters and Lady Gaga among others, was a cracking line up that year.

I do actually like her songs though. Probably the only current pop star I can say that about.

Great pull for Cov. Puts us in the spotlight for a weekend as the BBC cover their channels in it.

Id argue the original should have been left well alone and I’m disappointed Elton took the money.

You learn something new everyday in my defence, I’ve only heard a few times when the kids are in the car.

I went to the one in Leicester in the early 00s and it was brilliant - drugs and booze everywhere.

The artists aren't everyone's cup of tea but them being in Coventry on the same day is magnificent for the city!
