Florence + The Machine has been announced as headliner of the BBC’s Biggest Weekend festival 2018.

The acclaimed musician will perform at the BBC Radio 1 event at Swansea’s Singleton Park on Sunday May 28.

Florence Welch will join the likes of Taylor Swift, Camila Cabello, Craig David and Ed Sheeran on the bill later this year.

The Biggest Weekend has been dubbed as a "Glastonbury replacement" and will consist of three separate events taking place between May 25-28.

Welch is set to release new music later this month, with the festival marking her return to the stage after her last live performance in August of last year.

Tickets for the Swansea event have sold out, although passes for other events connected with the festival are available here.
