The BBC’s Radio 2 In the Park is back for another year with a cracking line-up taking to the stage at Leicester’s Victoria Park. Find out how to see Kylie Minogue, Tears for Fears, Busted and so much more as tickets go on sale.
BBC Radio 2’s flagship festival is set to return for another year this September, featuring an unbelievable line-up of acts.
With the likes of Kylie Minogue, Tears for Fears, and Bananarama signed up, this year’s Radio 2 In the Park is on track to be the station’s biggest-ever live music event outside of London.
Taking place since 2011, the festival has been known to bring in some of the biggest names in the music industry from Take That to Elton John. One of our RadioTimes.com reporters even remembers the that year Tom Jones, Paloma Faith and Status Quo all shared a stage for a brief magical moment.
Well now, it’s back with its usual mix of genres, eras, and personalities.
The 2023 line-up was announced just this week by Zoe Ball alongside the news that this year’s festival would take place in Leicester, rather than in its previous London home. This will be the first live version of In the Park since 2019, having gone virtual in 2020 for the coronavirus pandemic and last year having been cancelled due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
