Fatboy Slim: Radio 1's Big Weekend 2026

Radio 1’s Big Weekend returns to Sunderland’s Herrington Country Park for the first time since 2005, with 100 acts set to perform across three days of live music. Kicking off the festival as Friday night’s Main Stage headliner is the ultimate party starter, Fatboy Slim. The man who helped take dance music from club floors to festival main stages worldwide is set to bring his legendary show to the north east for a high-energy, hands-in-the-air frenzy. With what promises to be a blockbuster set, expect crowd favourites and his trademark barefoot style - this is the ultimate Friday night Dance Party.
