New dates announced for Radio 2 in the Park in Stirling

New dates for the Radio 2 in the Park music festival in Stirling have been announced.

The three-day flagship event will now take place between 11 and 13 September in City Park.

The festival was originally due to be held between 7 and 9 August, but was moved following complaints other music festivals were taking place at the same time.

The line-up for the event, which has previously been headlined by the likes of Sting, Bryan Adams and the Pet Shop Boys, has yet to be announced.

Organisers said previously that they worked with the Scottish Independent Festival Association (SIFA) on the rescheduling.

They said the decision had been taken after "listening to concerns about the impact of staging it in August, when other music festivals are taking place in the locality".

Helen Thomas, head of Radio 2 said she was "delighted" to confirm the new dates.

She said: "Our line-up remains as star-studded as ever and we look forward to announcing which of your favourite artists will be performing in Stirling in the coming weeks."

All of the weekend's live performances will be broadcast on Radio 2 and BBC Sounds, as well as iPlayer.

Stirling Council leader Susan McGill said: "Here in Stirling we have a proud track record of successfully staging major music events.

"Stirling is one of the best-connected places in the country, welcoming visitors from across Scotland, the UK and from all over the world to enjoy what our city and the wider Stirlingshire area has to offer.

"We all look forward to welcoming visitors to enjoy the best of music in the heart of Scotland."
