The set times for Radio 1 Big Weekend Dundee 2023 have been revealed. The festival will take place over three days from Friday 26th May to Sunday 28th May and will feature performances from some of the biggest names in music.
The event will be held at Camperdown Park and is being organized by the BBC in collaboration with Dundee City Council.

The line-up includes artists such as Lewis Capaldi, The 1975, Raye, Niall Horan, Jonas Brothers and Jess Glynne.

Tickets and Travel
There is no car parking available on site but a free shuttle bus will operate throughout the weekend, going between Big Weekend and the centre of Dundee. You must reserve your place on the free buses using this page. Parking at the event is only available for guests with access requirements and this must be booked in advance.
Can I walk to Big Weekend?
You can try, but if you’re arriving in Dundee on public transport and walking from the town centre it’s the best part of four miles to the festival – so it’s probably best you book the free shuttle bus.
Where’s the nearest train station?
Invergowrie is the closest station to Big Weekend but it’s still about 3 miles from the event with no shuttle buses running from this station. You’re probably best off heading to Dundee station and using the free shuttle buses.
