For the first time, all four stages are on for all three days. This year is the turn of Luton to experience the full Radio 1 treatment. It's a simple mission, really: we just want everyone who comes along to have the best time.”- Cllr Hazel Simmons MBE, leader of Luton Council, said, “The fact that BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend, one of the UK's largest and most popular music festivals, has chosen Luton is fantastic news for our town, especially our young people, and will showcase all the wonderful things about Luton. Not only will this event give a multi-million pound boost to Luton's economy and provide a number of opportunities for local young people and businesses, with tens of thousands in attendance and millions tuning in across the BBC, it gives us an opportunity to step forward and showcase the very best of our ambitious, brilliantly vibrant, wonderfully diverse and transforming town.”
