Scott Mills revealed on his Breakfast Show this morning that Radio 2 in the Park will take place at City Park in Stirling this summer.
The three day festival, taking place Friday 7th to Sunday 9th August, will see artists and presenters perform across three stages, with programming broadcast on Radio 2, BBC Sounds and BBC iPlayer. A Friday night DJ party will return to open the weekend, with presenters based in the city throughout.
Helen Thomas, Head of Radio 2, said: “Everyone in the Radio 2 presenter family is hugely excited to be heading to Stirling for our Radio 2 in the Park weekend. When they all found out together that we were going to Scotland, a cheer rang out across the room!”
Scott added: “What an absolute treat for Radio 2 in the Park to land in Scotland this summer! Every time I’ve DJ-ed in Scotland, I received the warmest welcome, so I truly cannot wait for what promises to be the most brilliant weekend in August.”
Stirling’s National Wallace Monument and the Tolbooth were illuminated in orange to mark the announcement.
The event follows last year’s festival in Chelmsford, with previous ones held in Preston and Leicester. Further details, including the line up, will be announced later.
