UB40 featuring Ali Campbell will take to the stage on Friday, June 13 and Jess Glynne headlines on Saturday, June 14.
Members of Falkirk Council's licensing board approved the application for the events after seeing the alcohol management plan, the Daily Record reports.
They agreed to grant the licence which will see the bars stop serving at 10pm.
The concerts are set to be held on the park's Great Lawn - which is only a few minutes walk away from the iconic Kelpies.
It is organised by xfire live events and the bars will be run by Innis & Gunn, who are experienced at organising bars at events such as the Edinburgh Military Tattoo and the Royal Highland Show.
Those attending are being urged to bring ID with them if they wish to buy alcohol as the Challenge 25 policy will be enforced.
