In March 2000, Radio 1 decided to change the Roadshow format, renaming it ''One Big Sunday'' in the process. Several of these ''Sundays'' were held in large city-centre parks. In 2003, the event changed again and was rebranded ''[[Radio 1's Big Weekend|One Big Weekend]]'', with each event occurring biannually and covering two days. Under this name, it visited [[Derry]] in Northern Ireland, as part of the ''Music Lives'' campaign, and [[Perry Park (Birmingham)|Perry Park]] in Birmingham.

The most recent change occurred in 2005 when the event was yet again renamed and the decision taken to hold only one per year, this time as [[Radio 1's Big Weekend]]. Venues under this title have included [[Herrington]] Country Park, [[Camperdown Country Park]], [[Moor Park, Preston|Moor Park]]–which was the first ''Weekend'' to feature a third stage–[[Mote Park]], [[Lydiard Park]], [[Bangor, Gwynedd|Bangor]] and [[Carlisle Lake District Airport|Carlisle Airport]].

Tickets for each ''Big Weekend'' are given away free of charge, making it the largest free ticketed music festival in Europe.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/bigweekend/|title=Radio 1 announced line-up for One Big Weekend, Preston|publisher=[[BBC]]|access-date=2 February 2008| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080218203420/http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/bigweekend/| archive-date= 18 February 2008 | url-status= live}}</ref>

BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend was replaced by a larger festival in 2012, named 'Radio 1's Hackney Weekend', with a crowd capacity of 100,000. The Hackney Weekend took place over the weekend of 23–24 June 2012 in [[Hackney Marshes]], [[London Borough of Hackney|Hackney]], London. The event was to celebrate the [[2012 Cultural Olympiad]] in London and had artists such as [[Rihanna]], [[Jay-Z]] and [[Florence and the Machine]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/events/hackneyweekend2012 |title=Radio 1's Hackney Weekend 2012 |publisher=BBC |access-date=20 May 2014 |archive-date=25 January 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120125011734/http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/events/hackneyweekend2012/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

In 2013, Radio 1's Big Weekend returned to Derry as part of the City of Culture 2013 celebrations. So far, Derry is the only city to have hosted the Big Weekend twice.

In May 2014, Radio 1's Big Weekend was held in [[Glasgow]], Scotland. Acts which played at the event included [[Rita Ora]], [[The 1975]], [[Katy Perry]], [[Jake Bugg]] and [[Pharrell Williams]]. The event was opened on the Friday with a dance set in [[George Square]], featuring Radio 1 Dance DJs such as [[Danny Howard]] and [[Pete Tong]], and other well-known acts such as [[Martin Garrix]] and [[Tiësto|Tiesto]].

In 2015, the event was held in [[Norwich]] and featured performances from the likes of [[Taylor Swift]], [[Muse (band)|Muse]], [[David Guetta]], [[Years & Years]] and others.

2016 saw the event make its way to [[Exeter]]. It was headlined by [[Coldplay]], who closed the weekend on the Sunday evening.

The event was in [[Kingston upon Hull|Hull]] in 2017 and saw performances by artists such as [[Zara Larsson]], [[Shawn Mendes]], [[Stormzy]], Katy Perry, [[Little Mix]], [[Sean Paul]], Rita Ora, [[The Chainsmokers]], [[Clean Bandit]] and [[Kings of Leon]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/events/eppp6q/performances|title=Radio 1's Big Weekend 2017|website=BBC Music Events|access-date=22 October 2018}}</ref>

To take advantage of [[Glastonbury Festival]]'s fallow year in 2018, 4 separate Big Weekends were held simultaneously between 25 and 28 May. Stylized as "BBC Music's Biggest Weekend", events were held in [[Swansea]] (with a line-up curated by Radio 1), [[Coventry]] and [[Perth, Scotland|Perth]] (both curated by Radio 2) and [[Belfast]] (curated by Radio 6 Music). Tickets sold out for the Swansea, Perth and Coventry Big Weekends.

In 2020, the Big Weekend at [[Dundee]] was cancelled as a result of the [[COVID-19 pandemic]]. In May 2020, Radio 1 announced a virtual Big Weekend. It took place from 22 to 24 May and featured performances from artists like [[Mabel (singer)|Mabel]] and [[Anne-Marie]].<ref>{{cite tweet|number=1257674334199590913|user=BBCR1|title=🚀 #BigWeekend UK 2020 is GO! 🚀...|date=5 May 2020}}</ref>
