The
first names were announced today for this year's Radio 1 Big Weekend,
which is being held on 28-29 May at Powderham Castle in Exeter. Drum
& bass crossover superstars Chase & Status will headline the
festival, alongside dad rockers Coldplay and US rock band Bring Me
The Horizon.
Chase
& Status appeared on Nick Grimshaw's Radio 1 breakfast show this
