GaGa and Foo Fighters for Radio 1 Big Weekend
Radio 1’s flagship live event the Big Weekend is to take place in Carlisle this year, with Foo Fighters and Lady GaGa headlining.
The event takes place over the weekend of Saturday May 14 and Sunday May 15 at the Carlisle Airfield.
Over four stages - the Main Stage, the In New Music We Trust Stage, the Outdoor Stage and the BBC Introducing Stage -a line up of UK and international acts will perform, including the Black Eyed Peas, Tinie Tempah, Chase & Status, Plan B, Ellie Goulding, Jessie J and Nicole Scherzinger.
Free tickets for the 40,000 capacity event will be available via bbc.co.uk/radio1, with registration opening tomorrow (Thursday) at 815am.
Radio 1 editor of live events Neil Wyatt said he believed the event – which has previously played host to the likes of Madonna and Rihanna – has its best line up to date in 2011.
“We’re bringing some huge international and UK artists to the city and it should have a huge impact on the area,” he said.
GaGa added, “I've been planning and rehearsing for so many months now and, after two years of working on my new album, I'll get to do a great big performance in the UK. I'm mostly excited for Radio 1's Big Weekend because I can't wait to see all of the monsters in the UK. Expect a monster avant-garde pop fantasia.”
As in previous years, Radio1 will use the opportunity to push the boat out with its multi-platform coverage. The event will be broadcast on Radio 1, with an interactive presence online at bbc.co.uk/radio1.
There will be highlights on BBC Three and extended performances can be viewed via the Red Button during the weekend.
Last year’s Big Weekend took place in Bangor, with a line up that included Florence & The Machine, Rihanna and Alicia Keys.

Britney Spears' 2011 Tour Ticket Prices Raise Eyebrows
The controversy surrounding Britney Spears seems never-ending. If it's not her manic mumblings or rage-induced head shaving, it's her parenting practices, substance use or flavor of the week. The newest eyebrow-raising gossip, however, is less to do with the songstress' admittedly unpredictable behavior, and more to do with her upcoming 2011 Femme Fatale tour, namely the astronomical ticket prices!
While sure, Britney Spears has worked her way from her infamous "Baby...One More Time" debut to the spectacle of dramatics and special effects that her show currently is, does she really expect to pull in the pretty penny she's asking for tickets to the summer tour, which range from $96-$346 per seat?
That's right, ladies and gents. Even if you want a nosebleed seat to see the singer this time around, you're looking to pay well over $100 minimum, once taxes and fees are figured in.
Add to that the fact that Britney Spears has fallen victim to the oh-so-common over-autotune effect these days, and what you're really paying to see is some bad singing with some decent dance moves.
Would you pay over $100 to see Britney Spears?
