BBC Radio 2 in the Park Friday

Radio 2 in the Park is our flagship live music event. Every year we bring some of the world’s most-loved pop stars to a different UK city for three days of incredible live music.

Last year, Radio 2 in the Park was held in Moor Park, Preston, and featured headliners Sting and the Pet Shop Boys. In 2023, Victoria Park in Leicester saw Tears for Fears and Kylie headline the main stage.
