BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend In Preston

Well the festival season kicked off this weekend with BBC Radio 1's big weekend at Preston. There were tonnes of top acts playing and here are a few video highlights:

First up is Calvin Harris who in my opinion had one of the best performances over the weekend. Calvin seems a top bloke and I would recommend visiting his Myspace page or his own site just to watch his spoof version of MTV's Cribs. It is one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time. Anyway here he is performing Vegas at the Big Weekend. It is absolutely brilliant.


Next is another Scottish act- Biffy Clyro. They completely rocked Preston with their set. It was immense. Their third album Puzzle is out on the 4th of June and is definitely worth a buy. You can listen to more of their tracks at their Myspace site here. Here is the video of them performing current single at Preston Living Is A Problem Because Everyone Dies.



Another top band that played at Preston were The Enemy. Their set included previous releases It's Not OK, Away From Here and new release Had Enough with other tracks that will probably feature in their debut album We'll Live And Die In These Towns, due to hit shops in September. You can find out more about them on their Myspace page here. With the amazing line , "Hey, Hey, What's the matter with your face!" its The Enemy with Had Enough live at the Big Weekend.


The other decent acts at Preston were The Twang, The Fray, Dizzee Rascal, Maximo Park, Just Jack, Get Cape.Wear Cape. Fly, The Pigeon Detectives, Bloc Party, Stereophonics, Kaiser Chiefs, Razorlight , Jamie T, The View, Mark Ronson, Kasabian, Cold War Kids, Klaxons, The Fratellis, Gossip and Groove Armada.
