Tickets for the festival will go on general sale on 25 April at 5pm BST and can be bought at Ticketmaster

Radio 1’s Big Weekend 2022 has released additional tickets just hours after Harry Styles was announced as the Sunday headliner.

Fresh from a Coachella appearance where the flamboyant pop star made an entrance in a chest-baring sequin Gucci jumpsuit, the former One Direction chart-topper is expected to pull out all the stops for his headline performance on 29 May.

Following a two-year COVID-related hiatus, the line-up for the Big Weekend from 27 - 29 May is better than ever with Calvin Harris announced as the Saturday night headliner and other artists on the stage including Ed Sheeran, Aitch, AJ Tracey, Anne Marie, George Ezra, Becky Hill and Yungblud.

More than 70,000 tickets are available for the three-day event taking place in Coventry’s War Memorial Park. Some were sold during the first round of ticket sales, but Radio 1 has announced that there will be another chance to get tickets following the Harry Styles revelation.

How to get tickets?

It has just been announced that more tickets for the Big Weekend 2022 Coventry will be released after 5pm today (25 April).

Tickets will be available to purchase on the Radio 1 website via Ticketmaster, but they’re expected to sell out fast. You must first visit the Radio 1 website and then you’ll be directed to complete the purchase on Ticketmaster.

You’ll be asked to select which pot of tickets you’re buying - Pot 1 and Pot 2 are reserved for residents of Coventry, Birmingham and Leicester, while Pot 3 is unrestricted and available to everyone in the UK.

How much do Radio 1’s Big Weekend Coventry tickets cost?

Friday tickets cost £12.50 plus a £2.50 booking fee per ticket.

Saturday and Sunday tickets will cost £21.50 plus a £4.50 booking fee per ticket.

You can purchase a maximum of two tickets per person for either Saturday or Sunday - but not both days.
