Saturday at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend Sunderland was one of those days where you genuinely didn’t know where to point the camera first. Twelve acts, two stages, one very good day. Here’s how it looked through the lens.
Ellie Goulding | Main Stage
Opening the main stage and immediately making it look like the easiest thing in the world.
Skye Newman | Main Stage
One of the most tipped new artists in the UK right now — and a Big Weekend slot to match.
Florence Road | New Music Stage
Early doors on the New Music Stage and already turning heads.
Wasia Project | New Music Stage
One of the most compelling acts of the afternoon — if you weren’t already a fan, you will be now.
Erin LeCount | New Music Stage
Writes, records and produces everything herself. Sounds like nobody else. Watch this space.
James Blake | New Music Stage
The entire tent went silent. Every. Single. Person.
Nothing But Thieves | Main Stage
Big riffs, bigger crowd reaction. Exactly what Saturday needed at that point.
Louis Tomlinson | Main Stage
The reaction when he walked out was something else. So was the set.
Zara Larsson | Main Stage
Saturday’s headliner. Every bit as good as it sounds.
What a day. See our full Saturday recap for the story behind every one of these shots.
