BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend Experience

Relive the Big Weekend!

Grab your backstage pass and dive back into Radio 1’s Big Weekend 2023, with this access all-areas look at Dundee's biggest party!

Radio 1’s Big Weekend Experience is packed with crowdsourced contributions from festival-goers, listeners of Radio 1’s Breakfast show, and even the acts themselves.

The cherished photographs, videos, memories and souvenirs are displayed alongside stage outfits and props donated by Big Weekend headline acts including Lewis Capaldi, Self Esteem, 30 Seconds to Mars, Piri, Wet Leg and The 1975.

We also have so many interactive experiences within the exhibition! Fancy yourself a DJ? Mix some tunes at our DJ booth, search for your own photo on the interactive map or create your very own personalised poster of your favourite acts from the weekend.

Open until January 7 2024
