Rita Ora says: "I love performing at Big Weekend, it's always one of the highlights for me to kick off the summer and I have the most fun every time."

Jess Glynne says: "Can't wait to be back at Radio 1's Big Weekend this year! Y'all be ready."

Bring Me The Horizon say: "We are buzzing to be playing Big Weekend again! Last time was a trip, and the love we get from Radio 1 has been so incredible over the last year we feel like family, and we are going to put on a very special show to show some love back."

Mumford & Sons say: "Last time we played Middlesbrough was in February 2009, halfway through our snowball tour, so-called because all the bands and singers we played with a long the way seemed to join us in the van for the next gig. That night, upstairs at Mohan's some hooligan sang 'boro football chants through the length of our set. A glorious and cherished memory. You have high standards to live up to, and although it's been ten years we are thrilled to be back, this time hosted by the good people at Radio 1. See you there."

Future says: "I appreciate Radio 1 for always supporting my career. I'm excited to get crazy on the stage for my fans!"

James Arthur says: "I'm honoured to be on the bill for Radio 1's Big Weekend, especially as they're off to my hometown of Middlesbrough! This is going to be an unbelievable show as the line-up is one of the best I've seen, so I look forward to being a part of it and giving the people of Middlesbrough and the surrounding area a quality show! UTB!"

Tickets will be geographically weighted with a percentage available to each of the local areas. Middlesbrough will have 50 percent of tickets reserved, 35 percent of the tickets will be reserved for those living in the areas of the Tees Valley Combined Authority which include: Darlington, Hartlepool, Redcar, Cleveland and Stockton-on-Tees, whilst the remaining 15 percent of tickets will be available for the rest of the UK. The booking process will be handled by Ticketmaster - the only official ticketing agent for Radio 1's Big Weekend.

Now in its 16th year, Radio 1's Big Weekend kicks off the UK's festival season, as well as taking artists to the cities that may not otherwise host a large scale event like Big Weekend, shining a light on the host city and providing a major boost to the local economy. This year, the BBC is working closely with Middlesbrough Council and Tees Valley Combined Authority to put on Radio 1's Big Weekend with the event estimated to generate £3.5 million to the local area.
Live sets from Radio 1's Big Weekend will be broadcast on BBC Radio 1 all weekend. All performances will be available to watch live and on demand on Radio 1's BBC iPlayer channel.
