The biggest party of the year has finally landed in Dundee as Radio 1’s Big Weekend gets underway at Camperdown Park.
80,000 revellers are expected to descend on the festival between Friday and Sunday.
Stars set to take to the stage include Lewis Capaldi, Niall Horan, The 1975, the Jonas Brothers and Tom Grennan.
The festival kicked off on Friday ahead of a dance spectacular, featuring local acts Hannah Laing and AmyElle alongside Pete Tong and Jamie XX.
