Zara Larsson: Radio 1's Big Weekend 2026

Bringing her anthemic sound to Sunderland is Sweden’s pop phenomenon Zara Larsson, who is fast becoming a Radio 1’s Big Weekend mainstay as she prepares to make her fourth appearance at the festival. Since making her debut in 2017, the then-teenage sensation has grown into a global force and takes to the Main Stage to top the bill for the very first time. Fresh from releasing her latest album, Midnight Sun, Zara is set to light up Herrington Country Park with huge singalong hits and powerhouse vocals that have made her a festival favourite. Expect a standout Saturday night in north east England as the Swedish hit-maker delivers her most anticipated Big Weekend set yet.
