The line-up for this year’s BBC Radio 2 in the Park festival has been announced - and the event is set to feature big performances from the likes of Sting, Sugababes, Manic Street Preachers and Pet Shop Boys. Taking place at Preston’s Moor Park on Saturday 7 and Sunday, September 8, the festival has become a big hit with thousands of festival-goers each year given the chance to watch some of the most loved music artists.
