BBC Introducing stage

BBC Introducing stage at last year's Big Weekend in Swindon

Supporting unsigned, undiscovered and under the radar musicians

Performing in the BBC Introducing tent at Radio 1's Big Weekend were 18 exciting brand new acts, chosen to perform by BBC presenters and producers from across the UK.

We were also delighted to welcome back Bombay Bicycle Club for a surprise acoustic set. The London boys played on the stage in 2009 before releasing their hugely ssuccessful debut album.
