At BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend, Little Mix and Katy B experienced a few firsts. Earlier today Little Mix made their Big Weekend debut at the festival’s main stage, just two months after their first-ever U.S. performance. The English girl group performed “How Ya Doin’?” without guest Missy Elliott, but they still managed to hype up the young crowd.

Katy B made her Big Weekend debut in 2011, and she’s performed “Aaliyah” live before, but she still left room in her Friday night set for a major surprise: a cameo by Jessie Ware. Their Big Weekend performance marked the first time they’d ever performed the song together, and based on the crowd’s response, they should do it again real soon.
