In the wake of the Manchester terror attack on Monday night (May 22), Radio 1 has announced its Big Weekend in Hull will still be going ahead on May 27-28.
There will be extra security searches and police will be keeping a close eye on things to reassure music fans following the awful recent events.
"After conducting a full review of the festival, in conjunction with the police and partners, various extra security measures have been put in place to ensure the safety of those attending," the BBC wrote in a Facebook post.
"As part of this, everyone that enters the site will go through two rounds of thorough searches – one round conducted at transport hubs where police will be present, and a second round of security procedures at the entrance gates.
"We ask for the patience and cooperation of anyone coming to the event on the weekend and that they allow extra time to pass through security. Thank you."
A total of 22 people lost their lives and 59 people were injured following an explosion at the Manchester MEN Arena following an Ariana Grande concert.
