BBC Radio 2 live is hosting two days of live music in Temple Newsam Park on Saturday 17 September and Sunday 18 September 2022.
The event is said to have doubled in size from previous years and will feature performances from your favourite music artists whom are soon to be revealed over the coming weeks.
It was announced this morning by Zoe Ball on her morning radio show that BBC Radio 2 Live will be taking over Temple Newsam Park for two rocking days of live music on Saturday 17 September and Sunday 18 September 2022.
From what used to be 'BBC Radio 2 Live in Hyde Park', the event is now heading up north and will be stretched over two days rather than just one.

Zoe revealed “It’s official! The news is OUT and I can tell you the whole Radio 2 family can't wait to be in LEEDS this year for Radio 2 Live.
"We are ready for two days of dancing and singing along with our fabulous listeners and some brilliant live acts. Personally, I'm giddy to get my groove on in the Radio 2 DJ Tent!”.
Live in Hyde Park, otherwise known as Radio 2's festival in a day has been running since 2011 and attracts an audience of up to 45,000 music lovers.
The festival is designed to appeal to the over 35 demographic as reflects the Radio 2 listeners but attracts a range of ages.
Previous headliners include Gary Barlow, Kylie Minogue and James Blunt.

The event is a good alternative to those who love music festivals but want to avoid camping on site. Although this festival will now be taking place over two days, it will still be a day festival with no camping facilities on site.
Although the musical acts are yet to be announced, you can expect performances from 20 different artists covering a range of genres including pop, rock, folk, country and indie. The festival will be hosted by Radio 2 presenters and will be broadcast live on the station, so you can still listen in if you are not able to make it there in person.
The event will be welcomed with open arms as it has been held virtually for the past two years due to the Coronavirus. More information about performers, presenters and tickets will be coming soon.

Award-wining Leeds sandwich shop Silver’s Deli to open neighbourhood bakehouse
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.

This architectural conversion has taken five years to complete and there's been no expense spared, the pulpit and pews have even been kept to really keep that churchy vibe.
Here's what the listing says: "Welcome to The Old Methodist Church, originally built in 1846 and beautifully transformed over the past five years into a truly exceptional home.
"This remarkable conversion seamlessly blends contemporary living with the building’s historic charm, creating a residence that is both striking and deeply characterful.
