Many of the station’s presenters are expected to decamp to the city for the two-day festival.
No acts have yet been announced but the full line-up is due to be revealed in early June with tickets going on sale shortly after via the Radio 2 website.
Helen Thomas, Head of Radio 2, said: “I’m delighted that this year’s Radio 2 in the Park will take place in Preston.
“Following last year’s epic extravaganza in Leicester, we can’t wait to head north with our fantastic family of Radio 2 presenters, as well as some of the most loved music artists on the planet, to party with the good people of Lancashire.”
The city has a history of hosting BBC live events with BBC Radio 1 Big Weekend being held in 2007 in Moor Park.
Last year’s Radio 2 in the Park was headlined by Tears for Fears and Kylie Minogue, with further performances from Texas, James Blunt, Busted, Rick Astley and Simply Red.
