The largest live music event ever held outside of London by BBC Radio 2 will take place in Leicester.
There are 35,000 tickets available for each day of Radio 2 in the Park, which will be held at Victoria Park on September 16 and 17.
According to the BBC, Tuesday's The Zoe Ball Breakfast Show would feature a complete artist lineup announcement.
Big events like this, according to Leicester's mayor Sir Peter Soulsby, "provide a tremendous boost to the area.". ".
Following a meeting between organizers Festival Republic and locals, a license for the significant two-day music festival was approved by the city council.
After the Covid-19 pandemic, nearby businesses told the BBC earlier this year that it would provide them with a much-needed financial boost.
Kasabian concerts and Leicester City's 2016 championship celebrations were both held in the park in the past.
Since the pandemic, the festival will mark BBC Radio 2's return to prominence.
Following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, its event in Leeds was postponed the previous year as a gesture of respect.
At 8:15 BST on Wednesday, tickets for Radio 2 in the Park go on sale.
The head of Radio 2, Helen Thomas, expressed her "thrill" at officially revealing information about the weekend-long live music festival.
As she put it, "We hope it will unite music lovers from across the nation, whether they join us in Leicester or tune in from wherever they are.".
We're very happy to welcome Radio 2 in the Park to Leicester this summer, Sir Peter said.
"Victoria Park has a proud history of hosting these significant events, and they are always a huge boost for the community.
