Dundee has the privilege of being the first Scottish city to host the event twice, the second city in the UK to do so — and is the host city for the 20th anniversary of Big Weekend.
From Lewis Capaldi to Anne-Marie, Jess Glynne to The 1975, Camperdown Park is the setting of what will be one of the biggest music events of the year!
Over 80,000 people are expected to gather at the venue over the three days and the countdown has been exciting!
