The BBC Radio 2 music festival is coming this year! Fans are excited to see their favorite artists gather in one venue to perform their biggest hits; find out below the complete list of performers, dates, and the venue for the music event.
According to Daily Mail, Kylie Minogue, who has been taking over social media thanks to her new song "Padam," will be headlining the music festivities.
This would be the event's biggest comeback as it is set to return this year after being halted due to the pandemic. It was initially scheduled to take place last year but was ultimately suspended after Queen Elizabeth II's passing.
Now that everything is back to normal, the music festival will take place at Victoria Park in Leicester in England on September 16 and 17. It is expected to be attended by 35,000 people each day.
