Little Mix, Miley Cyrus, Mumford and Sons, Stormzy and Lewis Capaldi are just some of the stars who put on a show for the crowd at Radio 1's Big Weekend. The artists used fireworks and booming speakers to bring the party to Stewart Park in Middlesbrough on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Lewis, who performed on Saturday, told Radio 1 Newsbeat: "I think it might be the best gig I've ever played in my life. "It's the first time I've played a lot of these songs in a festival set-up. It's incredible to see people come out. "Hearing people singing back your songs is so weird... I don't think I'll ever get used to it." Here are some of the best pics from the weekend so far:

In almost a decade of performing, the first gig Josh Dun and Tyler Joseph played together remains the most memorable. "We got one song in, and it got shut down by the police," says drummer Josh. It took place on a college campus, in "somebody's backyard", in their home state of Ohio. "Before the police came, I remember thinking how exhausted I was after one song. Over time you learn to budget energy within a set." Nowadays, fans are drawn to the band for that very energy, which charges through their sets. Speaking before their appearance at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Middlesbrough, they say they've perfected their live show over time. "We figured out who we were in front of no-one," says Tyler. "Every day we get on stage, we learn a little bit more." Tyler was the founding member, with Josh joining in 2011 to create the duo that exists today. Five albums in, the band now have a Grammy and are preparing to headline Reading and Leeds later this year. "We feel prepared, we feel humbled, but at the same time we feel like we're going to destroy."
