The event will take place in the Essex city’s Hylands Park from Friday, September 5 through Sunday, September 7 after performances by Sting, Pet Shop Boys, and Snow Patrol last year in Preston Moor Park.
The 2025 edition of the BBC Radio 2 In The Park festival is to be held in Chelmsford. The event, which last year saw performances from the likes of Sting, Pet Shop Boys and Snow Patrol in Preston’s Moor Park, will take place in the Essex city’s Hylands Park from Friday, September 5, to Sunday, September 7.
Presenter Rylan Clark announced the location of Radio 2 and said, “I can’t wait to have this year’s Radio 2 In The Park right on my doorstep.
An Essex crowd knows how to party, if there is one thing I can foretell. In Hylands Park, see you all. ”
Chelmsford town crier Tony Appleton then welcomed the festival to Essex, with the lineup set to be announced live on Tuesday on the Scott Mills Breakfast Show, with tickets going on sale starting on Wednesday.
The radio 2 in the park is our biggest event of the year, according to Heidi Thomas, the head of the company.
“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.”
A number of Radio 2 presenters will relocate to the city over the weekend, and the festival will officially launch at the festival on Friday night with a DJ set.
Chelmsford City Council leader Stephen Robinson stated: “Hylands Park is no stranger to music festivals, and we’re thrilled to add another renowned music event to the list in 2025.
“BBC Radio 2 In The Park is a fantastic opportunity for Chelmsford – one that will lift our local economy and boost the city’s position as a top events destination.
This summer, we’re looking forward to welcoming world-famous music acts and thousands of Radio 2 fans from all over the UK for this unmatched three-day celebration of music.
