Tickets for the BBC’s Radio 2 Live are available on Ticketmaster.

Tickets are now available for the BBC’s Radio 2 Live in Leeds two-day event, which takes place at Temple Newsam Park on the weekend of 17 and 18 September.

Acts confirmed for the event include George Ezra, Craig David, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Kaiser Chiefs, with more to follow.

This is the first time the Radio 2 Live event has come to Leeds, having previously been held at London’s Hyde Park, where it last took place in 2019 and was replaced by Radio 2 Live at Home in 2020, due to the pandemic.

As well as the main stage, Radio 2 Live in Leeds will feature the Radio 2 DJ Tent, where some of the station’s presenters will be joined by special guests and play sets spanning Motown in the 60s to today’s dance classics.

The event will be broadcast live on Radio 2, with full sets available on the BBC Sounds app for 30 days afterwards. The main stage will be live-streamed on BBC iPlayer throughout the weekend.
