Minogue's headlining performance will mark the second BBC festival led by a woman, with Gladys Knight set to top the BBC Proms In The Park on September 8.

Jeff Smith, head of music for Radio 2, said: "Radio 2 Live in Hyde Park is one of the highlights in our musical calendar.

"I can't wait to welcome one of Radio 2 listeners' best-loved artists to Hyde park - Kylie Minogue."

Minogue's arena tour kicks off later in September, with shows in Newcastle, Nottingham, Cardiff and London among the dates.

The celebrated artist returned to the top of the charts earlier this year with Golden, saying she was "overwhelmed" with the accolade .
