BBC Radio 2’s flagship live music event, Radio 2 In The Park, has been postponed by a month, with organisers citing concerns about its potential impact on other festivals. The event, set to take place in Stirling, Scotland, will now be held in September instead of its originally planned August dates.

The decision to reschedule comes amid worries that staging the festival in August would disrupt other music events already scheduled "in the locality". Tens of thousands of music fans were expected to attend the three-day festival at City Park in Stirling, which was initially slated for Friday 7 August to Sunday 9 August. New dates and the full line-up are yet to be announced.
