Little Mix bring wow crowds at Radio 1’s Big Weekend

The hit girl band opened the 3rd day of the festival with a stylish and dance-fuelled set in Middlesbrough at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend.

 
With 4 UK number 1’s under their belt Little Mix put on a striking and energetic display during their performance at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend.

The four piece girl group consisting of Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jesy Nelson opened their explosive set with their songs Salute and Power on the third day of the music festival as the sun finally came out for the thousands of happy revellers on Sunday.

Nelson donned a black leather leotard with neon stripes and sheer black sleeves, while Edwards wore a bright green long-sleeved shirt underneath a top that appeared to be modelled on a bullet-proof vest.

Pinnock’s on-stage attire comprised fluorescent trousers underneath black chaps and a cropped black vest, and Thirlwall opted for a stomach-baring top and trouser combination.

Backed by a troupe of dancers wearing fluorescent green boiler suits, the singers themselves sported striking outfits in black and the same shade of green their set was filled with energy and full dance routines, the four stars barely stopping to catch their breath.

The former X Factor winners performed songs including Shout Out To My Ex, Wings, Woman Like Me, No More Sad Songs, Only You, and an upbeat dance remix of their hit single Black Magic.

Speaking to the crowd at Stewart Park, Thirlwall revealed that she was not sure if the audience would be loud enough as Little Mix were the first act of the day.

“You actually are one of the best crowds we’ve ever had, thank you. I think it’s because they’re northern.”

Rita Ora, Ellie Goulding, Sean Paul, The 1975 are also in the Big Weekend’s Sunday line-up.
