Lewis Capaldi, Jonas Brothers, The 1975, Anne-Marie and Zara Larsson are among the artists who took to the stage in front of tens of thousands of music fans at Radio 1's Big Weekend.

The three-day festival opened at Dundee's Camperdown Park on Friday - it was due to be held in the city three years ago but was cancelled due to Covid.

Here are some of the best pictures from the weekend:
