Overview
- Radio 2, which announced the change on Wednesday, moved the three-day event from 7–9 August to an unspecified date in September.
- BBC Radio 2 said it listened to concerns that an August slot could disrupt other nearby festivals and worked with the Scottish Independent Festival Association on the plan.
- New September dates and the full line-up are pending, and tickets have not yet gone on sale.
- Stirling Council welcomed the move and the event, saying City Park has a strong record with large shows and the shift helps local events share audiences and resources.
- This will be the BBC’s first major music weekend in Scotland since Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Dundee in 2023, with broadcasts on Radio 2, BBC Sounds and iPlayer.
