BBC Radio 2 in the Park 2025 Set to Light Up Chelmsford’s Hylands Park
Hey, have you heard the big news? BBC Radio 2’s flagship music festival, Radio 2 in the Park , is officially coming to Chelmsford in 2025! That’s right—Hylands Park is going to be buzzing with live music, energy, and a whole lot of party vibes from Friday, September 5th through Sunday the 7th. It’s going to be a full weekend of unforgettable performances, broadcast magic, and a crowd that truly knows how to bring the energy.

The announcement dropped live on The Scott Mills Breakfast Show , and it was a full-on Essex celebration. Ellie Taylor—an Essex native—was broadcasting live from Hylands House, and she was joined by none other than Rylan, who Scott cheekily dubbed “The Earl of Essex.” Rylan summed it up perfectly when he said, “If there’s one thing I know for certain, it’s that an Essex crowd knows how to party.” And honestly, he’s spot on. Chelmsford is about to turn into the ultimate festival hotspot this September.
Helen Thomas, the head of Radio 2, called it “our biggest party of the year,” and you can feel the excitement building already. She mentioned that they’ve been hard at work curating a world-class lineup of artists, ready to entertain thousands at Hylands Park—and millions more tuning in from home on Radio 2, BBC Sounds, and iPlayer. Just imagine the buzz in the air as fans flood the park, ready to enjoy their favourite music, presenters, and a top-tier festival experience.
The artist lineup? That’s being revealed on Tuesday, June 3rd on Scott’s show. And you’ll want to set your alarms early on Wednesday, June 4th—because that’s when tickets officially go on sale at 8:30am. You can grab all the details over at bbc.co.uk/radio2inthepark .
Chelmsford City Council is equally thrilled. Councillor Stephen Robinson emphasized what a huge opportunity this is for the local economy and the city’s reputation as a destination for major events. With Hylands Park’s festival history—including hosting the likes of V Festival and Creamfields South—Chelmsford is more than ready to welcome thousands of fans and world-famous acts.
And let’s not forget, this isn’t just another festival—Radio 2 in the Park has a legacy. Last year’s event in Preston featured Sting and the Pet Shop Boys, and the year before that, Kylie and Tears for Fears rocked the stage in Leicester. This year? Well, we’re waiting with bated breath to see who’ll be headlining. But if history is anything to go by, it’s going to be huge.
So get ready, Chelmsford! BBC Radio 2 is bringing the music, the presenters, and the party right to your doorstep. September can’t come soon enough.
