Rita Ora and Paolo Nutini confirmed for Big Weekend 2014

MUMBAI: 'R.I.P' singer Rita Ora and 'Rewind' singer Paolo Nutini are the first artistes confirmed for Radio One's Big Weekend 2014. The annual event will be held at Glasgow Green on 24 and 25 May this year. The rest of the line-up will be announced in the coming months.

An addition to the Big Weekend will be a night dedicated to dance music, on Friday 23 May. The announcement of the artistes was made by Radio One Breakfast Show host Nick Grimshaw from BBC Scotland at Pacific Quay in Glasgow.

Grimshaw was joined by Rita Ora and Paolo Nutini who performed in front of an invited audience of local school children. The band Baby Strange will also perform at the Big Weekend in May.

Nick Grimshaw said, "So excited to announce that we are going to be partying in Glasgow this summer. There is a rule that the further north you go, the more fun the gig will be, so I'm psyched to be in Scotland this year."

The eleventh edition of Big Weekend will be visiting Glasgow to celebrate the city's hosting of the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

The Big Weekend will be broadcast live on Radio One, One Xtra and streamed live on the BBC Radio One website. Highlights will also be broadcast live on BBC Three.
