Foo Fighters – Walk (Live at Radio 1 Big Weekend 2011)

Radio 1′s Big Weekend (previously known as One Big Weekend, and as Penwythnos Mawr BBC Radio 1 in 2010) is a music festival run by BBC Radio 1. It is held once a year, in a different location within the United Kingdom each time. It is the biggest free ticketed music event in Europe and always includes a host of new artists. The festival was a spin-off of Radio 1′s “One Big Sunday”, where every Sunday during July and August, a different town would host the roadshow, usually next to a beach or in a large park. These were also free, but non-ticketed. A show in Falkirk in 1999 attracted in excess of 500000 people, ten times the expected amount. People eventually had to be turned away. Both the ‘One Big Sunday’ and ‘One Big Weekend’ events are successors to the Radio 1 Roadshow which toured the country during every summer from 1973 until the 1990s. Originally a ‘One Big Weekend’ would run twice a year. The Saturday was dedicated to dance music and the Sunday to bands. But since 2005, the dance day has been replaced by a second day of bands. In 2005, the dance music took place on a second stage on the Saturday only and in 2006 it took place off site at a club on the Saturday night. Radio 1′s Big Weekend has been active since 2003
