Katy Perry will be singing some songs at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Hull in May

  • March 16, 2017
  • Brad O'Mance

Katheryn 'Katy Perry' Elizabeth 'Katy Perry' Hudson, aka Katy Perry, has joined the lineup for Radio 1's Big Weekend thing in Hull.

Here's how Nick Grimshaw and The Perry broke the news on the 'wireless' earlier this morning:

HUGE #BigWeekend NEWS! 🎪🙌🎶

The amazing @KatyPerry will be joining us in Hull as one of this year's head­liners 👉 https://t.co/4t4HBZtjzI 💫 pic.twitter.com/mRsaGJT1yY

That's quite the array of accents she's got there. Nice of her to grow all her hair back for today's announce­ment too!

The 'This Is How We Do' hitmaker joins Little Mix, Stormzy and pigeon shit eaters Kings Of Leon, on the 'bill'. Obviously loads more acts will be announced every single day until May 27, which is when it actually starts, although if you're a Radio 1 listener we can guarantee the six weeks will seem con­sid­er­ably longer.
