Dizzee Rascal entertained thousands of revellers in the City of Culture on Friday as he was joined on stage by surprise guest Robbie Williams at Radio 1’s Big Weekend.
The pair performed together for the first time on stage as they launched the single ‘Goin’ Crazy’.
The former Take That member had a walk around the venue at Ebrington Square before his cameo performance on the main stage, where he was received with rapturous applause.
Robbie shouted “Derry” and saluted the crowd then exchanged greetings with dancing revellers beside the stage.
Wearing a canary yellow t-shirt and jeans, Dizzee ended his set with his popular hit ‘Bonkers’.
“I think it’s time we got a little bit bonkers,” he said to cheers.
The rapper then jetted home, but not before sampling the local wares.
“And you know [I] couldn’t leave Northern Ireland without trying these bad boys. #Tayto,” he tweeted, along with a picture of him holding a bag of the crisps.
Calvin Harris was the headline act for Friday’s main event, with Rita Ora taking to the 1 Xtra stage.
She was stranded at Heathrow airport on Friday morning after an emergency landing caused many short-haul flights to be cancelled, but she managed to make it.
