Big Weekend Luton

Luton, take a bow

BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Luton was a huge success, generating an impressive £6.7 million for the local economy.

From May 24-26 2024, Stockwood Park became an extraordinary festival venue with an incredible line-up of UK and international stars, creating an electric atmosphere and unforgettable memories.

We hosted the biggest Big Weekend ever and proved we’re not a town to be overlooked. Thanks to everyone who made it a resounding success and helped show that Luton is an outstanding festival destination.
