Harry Styles, Calvin Harris, Ed Sheeran, Anne-Marie and Becky Hill are among the artists who took to the stage in front of tens of thousands of music fans at Radio 1’s Big Weekend.
The three-day event took place at Coventry’s War Memorial Park and was the first time it had taken place in real life since 2019.
