BBC Radio 2 in the Park 2025 brought a vibrant, feel-good festival atmosphere to Hylands Park, as tens of thousands of music fans gathered for two days of live music. Unlike the previous year at Preston with plenty of rain, there was bright sunshine throughout much of the weekend

The line-up brought together a mix of legendary acts and contemporary stars. Saturday night saw Bryan Adams headline after sets from artists including Jessie J, Ronan Keating, Belinda Carlisle, Ella Henderson and Stereophonics. On Sunday, the energy continued as Def Leppard closed the festival with a powerful headline set, following performances from Olly Murs, Anastacia, Soul II Soul, Suede, David Gray and Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
