Coldplay to perform at Radio 1?s Big Weekend

Coldplay will play at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend event.
The 'Adventure of a Lifetime' hitmakers will play in frontman Chris Martin's English hometown of Exeter, in Devon, at the annual music extravaganza held on May 28 and 29.
Speaking about playing Big Weekend, Chris said: "I lived the first few years of my life less than 500 yards from where we'll be performing so this couldn't be more of a homecoming for me.
"Guy, Will, Jonny and I are honoured to be on the bill and we're looking forward to a very special show."

Ellie Goulding and rock band Bring Me The Horizon have also been confirmed for the event. It will be the rock group's debut BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend performance. And DJ Nick Grimshaw also announced on his breakfast show that electronic pop duo Chase & Status and Craig David are part of the bill.

More acts are expected to be announced in coming weeks.
Ticket details for the event held at Exeter's Powderham Castle will be revealed on 21 March.
