In pictures: BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Dundee

An emotional Lewis Capaldi told the Dundee crowd he was living his childhood dream

Lewis Capaldi, Jonas Brothers, The 1975, Anne-Marie and Zara Larsson are among the artists who took to the stage in front of tens of thousands of music fans at Radio 1's Big Weekend.
