International superstar, Katy Perry, has been chosen to perform as a headline act with her chart topper song: 'Chained to the Rhythm.' Which is set out to perform in hull. Katy Perry announced: "Radio 1's Big Weekend is always a blast and I'm so happy to be able to make it to Hull alongside the incredible line-up. Grimmy has told me all about Hull and we've already set up a date to the Yorkshire pudding factory!

She will be closing the events at the end of the night and has been the only stand-out female singer they wanted to end the night because of her spectacular performance at his year’s Brit Awards, with her number one single ‘Chained to the Rhythm.’
