Radio 2 is gearing up for a spectacular two days of live music in Leicester in September, and you can be part of it.
Some of the world’s most-loved pop stars are headed to Victoria Park on Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 September for the BBC station’s biggest ever live music event outside London.
An incredible line-up has been scheduled across the weekend, with Tears For Fears headlining the Saturday night, with their only UK festival appearance this year.
And if that wasn’t enough, pop legend Kylie Minogue is set to close the show on the Sunday night, with her first live UK concert performance for four years.
On top of that, there will also be a Radio 2 DJ stage where some of the station’s favourite presenters will be playing some of the best music from the past seven decades.
