The summer festival season is underway and hot on the heels of Glastonbury’s line-up announcement the BBC has revealed all the details for its Radio 2 in the Park 2025.
This year the event will be held at Hylands Park in Chelmsford, Essex, formerly the home of the V Festival from 1996 to 2017 and also the location for Creamfields and Country Calling.
Headliners this year include Bryan Adams, Def Leppard, Stereophonics and Suede across the three-day events from Friday 5 to Sunday 7 September.
Helen Thomas, Head of Radio 2 said: “Radio 2 in the Park is our biggest party of the year, and we’re delighted to be bringing a three-day music extravaganza to Chelmsford!
“We’ve been busy booking some of the world’s most loved artists to perform to thousands of revellers in Hylands Park, as well as to millions of listeners and viewers at home or on the move.
“We can’t wait to bring our family of Radio 2 presenters to Essex.”
Previous years have seen the event held in Preston, Lancashire and Victoria Park, Leicester.
