Blossoms comment: "We’re delighted that Radio 1 have invited us to play at this year’s Big Weekend.

"It’s going to be a really special weekend and we can’t wait to perform."

Currently reigning over the UK's Official Singles Chart with Messy, Lola Young jokes: "I can’t wait to play Radio 1’s Big Weekend. It’s going to get Messy! Me + the Liverpool crowd = One Big Weekend… see what I did there!!"
