BBC Radio 2’s flagship live music festival, Radio 2 In The Park, will travel to Preston, Lancashire, in 2024. The festival will take place in Moor Park on September 7 and 8, and the full artist lineup will be revealed in early June. Helen Thomas, head of Radio 2, said: “I’m delighted that this year’s Radio 2 In The Park will take place in Preston. “Following last year’s epic extravaganza in Leicester, we can’t wait to head north with our fantastic family of Radio 2 presenters, as well as some of the most loved music artists on the planet, to party with the good people of Lancashire!” Adrian Phillips, chief executive at Preston City Council, said: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome the BBC to Preston with Radio 2’s flagship live music event, Radio 2 In the Park. “As this year’s host city, we’re really excited to be staging two jam-packed days, full of incredible live performances from some of the music world’s biggest stars. “This is a brilliant coup for Preston and will be a huge boost for the city. We can’t wait to hear who the lineup is for this year and to welcome thousands of Radio 2 listeners to proud Preston!” Radio 2 In The Park was last held in Leicester in 2023, and featured performances from Tears For Fears and Kylie Minogue. The event was due to be held in Leeds in 2022, but was canceled following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
