Radio 1’s Big Weekend will return to Dundee in May – three years after the festival was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Camperdown Park has been chosen as the venue for the 2023 event, to be held from May 26 to 28.
It is the same location as Big Weekend’s first visit to the City of Discovery in 2006, and where the ill-fated 2020 event was due to take place.
The station has yet to make an official announcement but is expected to confirm the news on Monday (January 30).
Some of the acts appearing at the festival are also expected to be announced.
Big Weekend’s return to Dundee comes three years after it was supposed to be held in the city, with acts such as Harry Styles, Dua Lipa and Calvin Harris on the bill for 2020.
But the event was scrapped because of the pandemic and a virtual festival was held instead.
It had been hoped Dundee would be first in line when Big Weekend returned last year in person, but the Beeb opted for Coventry.
Thousands of music fans expected in Dundee for Big Weekend
Tens of thousands of music fans are expected to descend on Dundee for the three-day bash.
In previous years, the majority of tickets have been reserved for people living in the host city.
Big Weekend moves to a different venue each year and Dundee will be the first city in Scotland to host it for a second time.
The festival was last held in the City of Discovery in 2006 when more than 30,000 music fans descended on Camperdown Park.
The two-day event was Dundee’s biggest gig ever, with more than 300,000 people applying for tickets.
Muse, P!nk, Snow Patrol and Sugababes were among the acts on the bill, as well as Dundee’s very own The View.
Camperdown last hosted a large scale music festival in 2017, when Carnival 56 took place in the park.
In 2018, BBC Festival Biggest Weekend was split across four venues, including Scone Palace in Perth.
Emeli Sandé, Simple Minds, and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds were among the acts to perform.
Glasgow was the last city in Scotland to host Radio 1’s Big Weekend in 2014.
A spokesperson for the BBC said: “We are very grateful for the large number of cities across the UK interested in hosting Big Weekend, which attracts thousands of festival goers and generates significant income for the local area.
“All our decisions are made on what’s best for our young audience, and we’ll be looking to announce more information later this year.”
