BBC Radio One DJ's headed to Teesside too and even managed to party in the town Nick Grimshaw said on Sunday evening "We decided to go for more drinks and ended up in Tiny until the early hours. Annie Mac tried to play but she didn't have her USB sticks or the venue didn't have CDJ's. We said if we went back to the hotel for the USB Sticks would she do a set, she said yes so we went and got the USB Sticks whilst the venue found some CDJ's. However, they weren't compatible after all of that but we partied until the early hours which was wicked".
Annie Mac kicked off the weekend on Friday evening with a great set to 6,000 fans packed into the 1 for New Music Tent. Revelers were seen dancing around their handbags outside the tent. Many acts telling the crowds "Middlesbrough you have been brilliant". The 1975's brought the house down closing the Big Weekend to the capacity 34,000 audiences.
