Chris Martin from Coldplay said: “I was born and raised in Exeter so being part of Radio 1’s Big Weekend this year means a huge amount to me personally. I lived the first few years of my life less than 500 yards from where we’ll be performing so this couldn’t be more of a homecoming for me. Guy, Will, Jonny and I are honoured to be on the bill and we’re looking forward to a very special show.”

Ellie Goulding says: “Radio 1's Big Weekend is always a great event, and I'm really looking forward to being a part of it again this year.”

Nick Grimshaw said: “Big Weekend is my highlight of the year - I can't wait to bring you the best in live music and to spend a weekend celebrating the start of the summer in Exeter.”
