Usually a noisy start to festival season, this year Radio 1's Big Weekend is a noisy start to a summer of nothing. Everything else is cancelled, but the station is still doing its best to generate virtual buzz from today until Sunday, with lockdown-filmed sets by big names including Sam Smith, Biffy Clyro and Ellie Goulding, on the Sounds app and the iPlayer, taking the place of the real thing in Dundee.
