British Summer Time

ATEEZ Announced as BST Hyde Park Headliners for UK Exclusive Show

by

American Express presents BST Hyde Park is excited to announce that acclaimed South Korean group ATEEZ will make their Hyde Park headline debut on Sunday 28 June. One of the world’s most iconic groups taking to one of the world’s most iconic stages, the eight-member act – HONGJOONG, SEONGHWA, YUNHO, YEOSANG, SAN, MINGI, WOOYOUNG and JONGHO – has taken the world by storm since their debut in 2018.

Full line-up to be announced. Tickets go on general sale on Friday 29 May, visit www.bst-hydepark.com 

Hailing from KQ Entertainment, ATEEZ quickly distinguished themselves as one of K-pop’s leading acts, selling out a global tour just four months into their career. Their artistic identity is defined by interconnected storytelling, unfolding across their ‘TREASURE,’ ‘FEVER,’ ‘THE WORLD’ and ‘GOLDEN HOUR’ album series. 

They reached million‑seller status with their eighth EP in 2022, marking an important milestone in their rise. Their impact extends strongly into the UK as well, with the group becoming the first South Korean musical act to have three different releases chart in the Top 10 Official Albums Chart within a single year in 2024. Their momentum accelerated further that year, when they dominated major festivals worldwide, including Coachella in the US, Summer Sonic in Japan and a headline set at Mawazine in Morocco.

Their achievements continued last year, with a ‘K-pop Artist of the Year’ win at the iHeartRadio Music Awards and a nomination for ‘Favourite K-Pop Artist’ at the American Music Awards. This was followed by their celebrated ‘TOWARDS THE LIGHT: WILL TO POWER’ tour, which brought 14 shows across nine European countries. 

ATEEZ has continued to solidify their global success, earning Top 3 placements on the Billboard 200 with six consecutive releases and placing a total of eight albums in the chart’s Top 10. The group also achieved back-to-back entries on the Billboard Hot 100, further underscoring the consistency and scale of their worldwide impact. Most recently, ATEEZ successfully wrapped up their latest world tour, ‘IN YOUR FANTASY,’ with stops across the United States, Asia, Japan, and Korea. 

Early 2026 saw the release of ‘GOLDEN HOUR : Part.4,’ ATEEZ’s 13th EP, which added yet another wave of achievements to the group’s growing global momentum. Featuring five tracks led by the high-energy single ‘Adrenaline,’ the release earned major chart success across Korea and internationally.

ATEEZ now take another major step in their global journey. Their Hyde Park headline show will be a reminder of why they stand among the most influential groups of their generation. It also marks a significant moment for Hyde Park itself as a UK exclusive event for 2026.

BST Hyde Park has built a strong legacy of placing K-pop artists at the forefront of major festival stages. In 2023, BLACKPINK made UK festival history by becoming the first K-pop group to headline a major UK music festival at BST Hyde Park. The following year, Stray Kids became the first male K-pop group to headline the festival. ATEEZ now join this landmark lineage.

Headliners for BST Hyde Park 2026 also include: Garth Brooks (Saturday 27 June), Maroon 5 (Friday 3 July), Mumford & Sons (Saturday 4 July), Duran Duran (Sunday 5 July), Pitbull (Friday 10 July) and Lewis Capaldi (Saturday 11 July and Sunday 12 July).

by

American Express presents BST Hyde Park has announced a host of incredible special guests for Lewis Capaldi’s two huge headline shows this summer. The Scottish superstar will be joined by some of the hottest names in music right now, alongside exciting emerging acts, across his sold-out performance on Saturday 11 July and a second show on Sunday 12 July 2026, added due to phenomenal demand.

Today, BST Hyde Park is proud to unveil the full line up for both headlining shows; on Saturday 11 July, The Vaccines, Absolutely, Nieve Ella, Tyler Ballgame, Kerr Mercer, NECKBREAKERS, Benjamin Steer, Luz, Sebastian Croft and Luke La Volpe and joining Lewis on Sunday 12 July will be Alessi Rose, Absolutely, Alexandra Savior, Folk Bitch Trio, Sadie Jean, Ber, Murdo Mitchell, Beattie, Luke Hart, Mark Sharp & The Bicycle Thieves, with both line-ups also featuring the previously announced acts Conan Gray and Jacob Alon. Visit www.bst-hydepark.com for final remaining tickets and information.

Saturday 11 July

Combining infectious melodies with stadium-ready hooks, The Vaccines have been fixtures of London’s indie rock scene since 2011, following the release of their platinum-selling debut album, What Did You Expect from the Vaccines?. Festival favourites from the outset, they’ve continued to enjoy success both at home and abroad with subsequent releases including Come of Age, English Graffiti, Combat Sports, Back in Love City and Pick-Up Full of Pink Carnations.

Formed in 2010, the band brought together Justin Young (vocals, guitar), Árni Arnason (bass), Freddie Cowan (guitar) and Pete Robertson (drums). Their breakout single, “Post Break-Up Sex”, arrived in early 2011, paving the way for their debut album later that year. The record went platinum in the UK and cemented their status as one of the country’s most exciting modern rock bands.

Their 2012 follow-up, Come of Age, saw the group reach new heights, becoming their first UK number one album. For their third record, English Graffiti (2015), the band embraced a more experimental approach, recording in the US and broadening their sonic palette. They returned with the high-energy Combat Sports in 2018, before continuing to evolve their sound on 2021’s Back in Love City. Following line-up changes, including the departure of Freddie Cowan, the band released Pick-Up Full of Pink Carnations in 2024. Recorded in Los Angeles, the album delivers a confident yet reflective collection of songs exploring themes of loss and heartbreak, reaffirming The Vaccines’ place as one of Britain’s most enduring indie acts.

Absolutely (AKA Abby-Lynn Keen) is emerging as one of the most compelling new voices in the UK today, carving out a distinct lane with her ethereal blend of R&B, pop and EDM. Her sound – dreamy, immersive and subtly experimental – first took shape with her 2023 debut Cerebrum, and now evolves further with her highly anticipated sophomore album Paracosm, set for release in 2026. Beyond her solo work, Absolutely and her sister Amma, feature on their elder sister RAYE’s second album This Music May Contain Hope, contributing not only as vocalists but as songwriters shaping the project’s emotional core. As they step into their own spotlights, they continue to build their artistry while supporting RAYE on her 2026 Global Tour This Tour May Contain New Music.

Nieve Ella continues her unstoppable ascent, evolving from bedroom-pop beginnings into a confident, guitar-led indie force. With her standout 2024 EP Watch It Ache And Bleed and a run of acclaimed singles, she has cemented herself as a fiercely relatable voice in modern indie music. Kicking off her new era with the single “Drive,” she explores a moodier, more nocturnal sound-expanding the sonic world first introduced on her 2024 EP. The track marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Shropshire-born songwriter, one defined by growing confidence, maturity and creative ambition. Having already impressed on major UK tours and supported artists such as DYLAN and Girl in Red, Nieve Ella continues to translate her emotionally charged songwriting into powerful, high-impact live performances.

Renowned for his live shows, Tyler Ballgame’s music is built on strong melodic hooks and draws subtle inspiration from the 60s and 70s, blending nostalgia and undeniable songcraft. Tyler’s stunning debut album For the First Time, Again was released at the start of 2026. A bracing reminder of how great songs delivered by a gifted vocalist can move, captivate and inspire, it boasts 12 finely crafted tunes rooted in classic rock, indie and Americana. 

Scottish rising star Kerr Mercer is bringing his powerhouse soulful-pop to Sunday’s lineup with the full approval of Lewis Capaldi, who has helped support his nascent career and written a song with him. Mercer cites soul greats like Sam Cooke, Ray Charles and Etta James as influences and has also supported Myles Smith and Teddy Swims. His raw, emotive vocals and masterful piano work have quickly built him a fervent grassroots following and his singles “Alcohol” and “0:01” have been breaking through nationwide. Armed with a voice that demands to be heard, Mercer is poised to deliver a genuine, heart-on-his-sleeve set to grab Hyde Park.

London-based sibling trio NECKBREAKERS (Maxx, Georgie, and Ebony-Rose Palmer) have attracted comparisons to the likes of Fleetwood Mac and are forging a reputation from  shimmering, hook laden 80s guitar pop. Recent tracks like 2025’s “Elephant” and “IN LOVE” have continued their momentum and are ready-made, summer festival anthems.

Benjamin Steer is a British-American artist and songwriter known for his catchy, introspective and emotionally resonant songs about modern love and life. Drawing inspiration from artists such as early Ed Sheeran, Myles Smith and Mackenzy Mackay, alongside peers like Michael Sanzone and Thomas Day, he blends acoustic and indie-pop into a fresh, relatable sound. With support slots for Kingfishr, Calum Bowie, and Myles Smith already under his belt, his live shows deepen the emotional connection of his songwriting, turning performances into shared, engaging experiences.

Irish singer Luz Corrigan, known as Luz, rose to prominence in 2020 after a viral cover of Dean Lewis’ “Lose My Mind,” which led to recognition from the artist himself and a support slot in Dublin. Originally from Ferbane, County Offaly, she began sharing stripped-back covers online at 16 before releasing music under her own name. Her debut single “I’m Lonely” was followed by “We’ll Be Fine,” “The Author,” “Counting Houses” and “Permanent +1,” and later releases such as “The Minute You’re Gone” established her as a promising songwriter in her own right.

Sebastian Croft is a British actor and musician, known for playing young Ned Stark in Game of Thrones and for his leading role in Heartstopper, as well as starring in the How to Date Billy Walsh. His debut EP showcasing his own music and songwriting is set for release in November 2026 via Manifest Music, and BST Hyde Park is excited to get an early listen!

Luke La Volpe is a Scottish Music Awards ‘Breakthrough’ winner who’s emerged from West Lothian’s thriving music scene, alongside his contemporaries The Snuts and Lewis Capaldi. During lockdown, he released his Terribly Beautiful EP and organised the Sofathon Singalong to support the Music Venue Trust, later becoming a patron alongside icons such as Paul McCartney and Billy Bragg. Known for his distinctive voice and emotive songwriting, Luke has performed at major festivals including Latitude Festival and now makes his Hyde Park debut.  

Sunday 12 July 

Rising Derby-born alt-pop artist Alessi Rose has quickly become one of the UK’s most talked-about new names. The 23-year-old singer-songwriter moved from Littleover to London at 19 to study English Literature while relentlessly pursuing music, eventually leaving university as touring opportunities exploded. After breaking through with dreamy early singles like “Say Ur Mine” and “Hate This Part”, she built a devoted fanbase through candid, emotionally messy alt-pop releases including her debut EP “rumination as ritual” and 2025 projects “for your validation” and “Voyeur”, which pushed her further toward glossy, sharp-edged pop. Over the past year she has supported Dua Lipa across Europe and Tate McRae in North America while also completing her own sold-out headline tour, cementing a reputation for confessional songwriting, ambitious pop instincts and relentless work ethic. Known for balancing introspective lyricism with bigger production, Alessi Rose has positioned herself as one of Britain’s fastest-rising new pop acts as she edges toward a mainstream breakthrough.

Alexandra Savior is a Los Angeles–based singer-songwriter known for her smoky, cinematic blend of psych-pop, desert rock and neo-torch. She broke through with 2017’s Belladonna of Sadness, produced by Alex Turner, following early industry buzz and a move from Portland to L.A. as a teenager. She resurfaced on 30th Century Records with the more self-defined The Archer in 2020. Her sound expanded further with her third studio album, Beneath the Lilypad, in 2025, via RCA Records, marking a significant return after a five-year hiatus from major releases. The acclaimed album was produced by Drew Erickson – known for work with Lana Del Rey and Father John Misty – and was characterised as a more personal, vulnerable, and stripped-back project compared to her previous work, focusing on themes of mental health, confidence and taking creative control.

Folk music is often treated with a kind of solemn reverence but Folk Bitch Trio refuse to play it straight. Former school friends Heide Peverelle, Jeanie Pilkington and Gracie Sinclair bring a sharp, shared humour that cuts through the genre’s self-seriousness and sets their songs alight. Their debut released last year, Now Would Be A Good Time, pairs familiar folk textures with vividly modern storytelling, capturing breakups, daydreams, desire and disillusionment with wit and bite. The result feels like a loose guide to surviving your twenties: knowing when to spiral, when to laugh, and how to find meaning somewhere in between.

California native Sadie Jean has quickly risen to prominence thanks to her viral breakthrough on TikTok and a knack for crafting beautifully confessional heartbreak ballads. The indie-pop singer-songwriter first captured global attention with her 2021 debut single WYD Now?. Following its success, she made the bold decision to leave NYU and pursue music full-time, an instinct that’s paid off with a growing international fanbase and critical buzz. Her debut album, Early Twenties Torture (2025), cemented her as one of indie-pop’s most compelling new voices. Now, she’s bringing those evocative, late-night LA vibes to this side of the pond.

Hailing from Minnesota, Ber (AKA Berit Dybing) celebrates finding true love and her “best life” on her debut alt-pop/country album, Good, Like It Should Be. The 12-track project, which came out earlier this year, was mostly written on a small Korg recorder in Wisconsin and Minnesota, as a “time capsule” also focused on self-acceptance and inward reflection. Featuring co-writes and production from Rob Milton (Holly Humberstone) and Bradley Hale (Bon Iver), the album includes the Chicks-esque single “Give It All Away” about realising self-power, the upbeat opener “Good, Real,” and the tongue-in-cheek country-pop “Who’s This.” 

Murdo Mitchell is a Scottish singer-songwriter whose work is rooted in the tradition of the travelling troubadour, shaped as much by the road as by the studio. He began busking on the streets of Glasgow at just 10 years old, developing an instinct for performance that continues to define him: direct, unfiltered and deeply human. His relentless touring across the UK and Europe has built an organically grown audience. He has shared stages with Glen Hansard, KT Tunstall and Donovan, who praised his “hunger to communicate.” Mitchell has also toured the US supporting John Vincent III and performed alongside artists like Kelly Jones and Starsailor. Known for raw lyrical immediacy and restraint, he is currently recording his debut album in Los Angeles, and Hyde Park is lucky enough to hear the first hint of new music. 

Rising singer-songwriter and producer Beattie channels the eclectic sound of the ’90s into a forward-looking style, demonstrating how each generation builds upon the past. Her captivating voice shifts seamlessly from delicate vulnerability to gothic power. Her sound is a haunting blend reminiscent of Mazzy Star’s Hope Sandoval and Lana Del Rey, with undertones of PJ Harvey and Elliott Smith. Influenced by enduring, authentic acts like Radiohead, she crafts contemporary alt-rock that echoes the style of Wolf Alice.

Luke Hart is one of the newest faces on the UK folk scene. Following on from TikTok success with his song “Biding”, Luke is embarking on his first UK and Ireland tour. Compared to the likes of Bob Dylan, George Harrison and Jim Croce, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to see him at the very start of his career.

Another excellent act from West Lothian, Mark Sharp & The Bicycle Thieves have built a reputation for their full-throttle live shows. After tearing through major festival stages and completing a European arena tour with Lewis Capaldi, the five-piece hit a huge milestone as their album Unmask The Circus soared to Number 1 on the Scottish Albums Chart. BST Hyde Park is more than ready for them… and you’ll want to be there when they bring that energy to the stage.

Lewis Capaldi’s two nights at BST Hyde Park are a fitting centrepiece for one of Britain’s most popular artists.

Earlier this month, Capaldi unveiled “Stay Love,” a special addition to his critically acclaimed 2025 Survive EP. The Scottish hitmaker debuted the emotional ballad in a free pop-up performance at Penn Station before bringing it to his biggest ever US headliner at Madison Square Garden last week – an early highlight from his most ambitious North American tour yet. Listen to the Survive Deluxe EP HERE and “Stay Love” HERE.

A joyous appearance at Noah Kahan’s BST Hyde Park set last year sparked a rapturous welcome from fans. In November, Capaldi released his new EP, Survive and the title track became the fastest-selling UK single of 2025, marking his sixth UK Number 1. Capaldi joined Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Drake, Lady Gaga & Queen in achieving six UK number 1 singles. The beloved Scottish singer played a sold-out 17-date UK arena tour recently too. The response was electric, with critics unanimous in their praise, delivering four and five-star reviews across the board.

Now, Capaldi is making his ultimate comeback performing two dates at BST Hyde Park (Saturday 11 July and Sunday 12 July 2026), joining the illustrious line-up of world-renowned artists who have graced the stage, from Stevie Wonder and The Rolling Stones to Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift and many more.

Headliners for BST Hyde Park 2026 also include: Garth Brooks (Saturday 27 June), Maroon 5 (Friday 3 July), Mumford & Sons (Saturday 4 July), Duran Duran (Sunday 5 July), Pitbull (Friday 10 July), with final headliners to be announced.

Capaldi will also headline the inaugural Roundhay Festival on Saturday 4 July 2026. Visit roundhayfestival.com for more information. Capaldi’s full tour dates can be found at www.lewiscapaldi.com/tour.

Pitbull at BST Hyde Park: Tinie Tempah and Lil Jon join the line up

by

American Express presents BST Hyde Park welcomes a true legend to the park this summer. The one and only Pitbull AKA Mr. Worldwide headlines on Friday 10 July. Today, BST Hyde Park reveals that two more iconic artists will join him in the park: Tinie Tempah and Lil Jon, joining the previously announced act, Kesha. Final acts to be added and tickets are on sale now, visit bst-hydepark.com. 

International superstar Pitbull has sold more than 25 million studio albums and has more than 60 million monthly listeners on streaming platforms. The star has worked with everyone from Jennifer Lopez to Christina Aguilera to Usher and many more. With mega hits including “Don’t Stop the Party”, “Timber”, “Hotel Room Service”, “Time of Our Lives”, “Give Me Everything”, “Fireball’ and “Get On The Floor” the Grammy Award winner has secured his place as not only one of the pre-eminent figures in Latin music and hip hop, but as one of the biggest names in the pop world. 

When Tinie Tempah exploded onto the scene with ‘Pass Out’ in 2010, he didn’t just score a hit, he rewrote the blueprint for UK rap forever. Over fifteen years later, with 3 Top Ten albums, 7 number 1’s, and a cultural legacy that paved the way for Britain’s Black music revolution, Tinie Tempah remains the architect of his own unstoppable momentum. From sold-out arenas to festival headlines, from chart domination to cultural zeitgeist moments, Tinie Tempah has consistently proven that longevity in this game isn’t about luck, it’s about evolution. His latest singles ‘Eat It Up’ and ‘Living Life’ make a statement of intent: Tinie Tempah isn’t just back, he’s here to remind everyone why he’s been the standard-setter all along. The game may have changed since 2010, but the throne remains his…

Louder and larger than life, Lil Jon is the undisputed king of crunk and one of hip-hop’s most influential hitmakers. Rising out of Atlanta’s club scene with Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz, he helped define the Dirty South sound with era-shaping anthems like “Get Low,” alongside landmark productions including Usher’s Grammy-winning “Yeah!” and “Snap Yo Fingers.” With a string of gold and platinum albums and a catalogue that spans hip-hop, pop and EDM, most notably the global smash “Turn Down for What” with DJ Snake, Lil Jon has remained a dominant force in music for over two decades. Renowned for his live sets, he now brings that same high-octane presence to BST Hyde Park as part of this year’s lineup. 

For this special show, BST Hyde Park will also host an official GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title attempt for the Largest gathering of people wearing bald caps. The attempt builds on a phenomenon sparked by Pitbull’s devoted international fanbase, including his recent sold-out O2 Arena shows in London where thousands of fans arrived wearing bald caps. BST Hyde Park will bring this fan-led moment to its biggest stage yet, inviting audiences to take part in an official, adjudicated GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title attempt and be part of music history. 

Headliners for BST Hyde Park 2026 also include: Garth Brooks (Saturday 27 June) and Lewis Capaldi (Saturday 11 July and Sunday 12 July), Maroon 5 (Friday 3 July), Mumford & Sons (Saturday 4 July), Duran Duran (Sunday 5 July), with final headliners to be announced.

 

Pitbull also headlines the inaugural American Express presents Roundhay Festival in Leeds on Friday 3 July, joined by Jason Derulo, Tinie Tempah and Lil Jon, with many more acts to be added. Visit roundhayfestival.com.

BST Hyde Park – Announces Duran Duran Headline Show, with Special Guests Scissor Sisters

by

American Express presents BST Hyde Park announces its latest huge headliner for 2026: British music icons, Duran Duran – who will grace the central London stage for the second time in just five years. The global superstars will hit the Great Oak Stage on Sunday 5 July 2026, joined by fellow legends and special guests Scissor Sisters, with a full line up still to be announced. Tickets go on general sale on Wednesday 1 April, 10am, with pre-sales in the days prior (see below).  Visit www.bst-hydepark.com for tickets and information.

Duran Duran’s headline show at BST Hyde Park is a night out with one of the most successful and influential bands in pop history. With over 100 million records sold worldwide, the Birmingham-formed group has soundtracked generations with a peerless arsenal of hits including “Rio”, “Hungry Like the Wolf”, “Girls on Film”, and “Ordinary World”. Long time band mates Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes, John Taylor and Roger Taylor are known for their electrifying live performances and pioneering synth-pop sound. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees continue to prove why they are enduring music royalty with sold-out tours and critically acclaimed releases, with new music soon to be announced for 2026.

In late 2023, the band released their sixteenth studio album, Danse Macabre, a Halloween themed, celebrated record that blended new tracks, spirited covers and reimagined classics, featuring collaborations with Måneskin’s Victoria De Angelis, Nile Rodgers and former members Andy Taylor and Warren Cuccurullo. The following year they expanded the spooky universe with Danse Macabre De Luxe and subsequent singles including their cover of ELO’s “Evil Woman”.

Live, the band remain unstoppable, selling out arenas across the UK and North America during their Future Past Tour, playing a landmark headline Halloween show at Manchester’s Co-op Live in 2025 and being awarded the “Città di Sanremo” at Italy’s Sanremo Festival last year for their extraordinary contributions to the event, 40 years since their debut. And, in 2026, alongside highly anticipated vinyl reissues of The Wedding Album and Thank You, Duran Duran is back on the road and embarking on a prestigious multi-night Las Vegas residency at the Fontainebleau, preceded by a headline slot at California’s Beachlife Festival, and followed by a month-long run through Europe. They will be more than ready for their UK homecoming at Hyde Park.

And legendary New York pop powerhouse Scissor Sisters will join us at BST Hyde Park. The band have cited Duran Duran as a major influence, long shared a mutual creative respect and been guests on tour with our headliners.

They made their long-awaited return in 2025 after more than a decade apart, reuniting to mark the 20th anniversary of their iconic self-titled debut. With Jake Shears, Babydaddy and Del Marquis back together, they headed out on a huge, sold-out UK arena tour in, performed a legendary Saturday night Glastonbury set and a co-headlined a summer tour with Kesha across the USA.

Scissor Sisters are keeping the party going – next stop Summer 2026. Two decades after kicking the door down to redefine pop music with genre bending hits like “Take Your Mama”, “I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’” and “Let’s Have a Kiki”, the band return with their signature mix of chaos, glam, grit and unapologetic queer joy – still unstoppable and forever filthy/gorgeous.

Jim King, CEO of AEG Presents UK, says: “Duran Duran have long defined the very best of British music, conquering charts around the world. Their return to BST Hyde Park, joined by the incredible Scissor Sisters, promises a night of iconic, era‑defining hits and one of the standout moments for fans this summer.”

Duran Duran joins an illustrious line-up of world-renowned artists who have graced the stage, from Stevie Wonder and The Rolling Stones to Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift and many more. This year’s previously announced headliners include Garth Brooks (27 June), Maroon 5 (3 July), Mumford & Sons (4 July), Pitbull (10 July) and Lewis Capaldi (11 July and 12 July).

BST Hyde Park: Holly Humberstone, Caamp, Divorce, Cliffords & Stella Lefty to join Mumford & Sons

by

This summer, American Express presents BST Hyde Park welcomes Mumford & Sons back to the Great Oak Stage on Saturday 4 July 2026 – ten years since their last acclaimed appearance. Today, BST Hyde Park is delighted to announce an incredible line up for the West London band’s homecoming: Holly Humberstone, Caamp, Divorce, Stella Lefty and Cliffords. They will also be joined by previously announced special guest The War On Drugs, with final acts to be revealed. Tickets on sale now, visit www.bst-hydepark.com

Ahead of joining Mumford & Sons at BST Hyde Park, the 2022 BRIT Rising Star winner Holly Humberstone reaches a new gothic-pop peak with her forthcoming second album Cruel World, due for release on 10 April 2026. Place has always been the centre spine to Holly Humberstone’s lucid songwriting, from her breakthrough EP Falling Asleep At The Wheel, which introduced a young woman trying to understand the walls in which she grew up, to The Walls Are Way Too Thin and her critically acclaimed #3 debut album Paint My Bedroom Black, written in fragments on the road while touring with girl in red and Olivia Rodrigo. Winning the BRIT Rising Star Award in 2022, presented by Sam Fender, marked her ascent from her gothic family home in Grantham to the world stage.

Cruel World marks a new chapter. Turning 25 and rebuilding a home in South-East London with her sisters and best friend, Holly channels a newfound sense of belonging into her most self-assured work yet. The album’s title track arrives alongside a striking Victorian theatre-inspired video, following recent singles “Die Happy” and “To Love Somebody,” a trio that signals a bold, cinematic evolution she calls “my favourite song I’ve ever written”. Alongside Hyde Park, she’ll also embark on a UK and European tour, as well as appearing at major US festivals including Coachella and The Governors Ball.

Ohio indie-folk group Caamp continue to build on the momentum of their 2025 album Copper Changes Color, a record that saw them expand their rootsy warmth with a broader indie-rock edge, showcased on tracks like ‘Millions’ and fan favourite ‘Mistakes’. Formed by childhood friends Taylor Meier and Evan Westfall, and now comprising Matt Vinson, Joseph Kavalec and Nicholas Falk, the band have cultivated an instinctive, free-flowing live presence shaped by years of writing and playing together. That enduring chemistry was spotlighted this month in an NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert, a full-circle moment a decade on from their original submission where they blended newer material with beloved songs including ‘All The Debts I Owe’ and ‘By and By’. Fresh from touring across the UK and Europe, Caamp’s latest chapter reflects a band still evolving while remaining grounded in the connection that first defined them.

Divorce cite a broad range of influences, from contemporary indie heavyweights like Mitski, and Big Thief, to cult icons such as Tom Waits and LCD Soundsystem. The Nottingham band burst onto the scene in 2022 with their explosive debut EP ‘Get Mean’ and continued to expand their horizons with their second EP ‘Heady Metal’ , acquiring key champions at press and radio. Moving strength to strength, they returned in 2024 with their now widely loved single ‘Gears’, and soon followed up with the indie-anthem ‘My Room’, cementing their status as one of the most exciting UK artists to watch out for. Trademark theatricality is at the forefront of every Divorce performance. With every fanciful music video, alongside consistent displays of outstanding musicality at live shows, the band have captivated audiences of thousands across the UK and Europe. With sold-out tours already behind them, Divorce released their debut album Drive to Goldenhammer to critical acclaim last year, and 2026 is shaping up to be just as big.

Hailing from Cork, Cliffords have quickly become one of Ireland’s most exciting new bands. With the release of their EP ‘Salt Of The Lee’, the four-piece have shown a remarkable ability to craft songs that feel both polished and deeply personal. Vocalist Iona Lynch leads the band with reflective, sharp lyrics, supported by Gav Dawkins on bass and trumpet, Harry Menton on guitar, and Locon O’Toole on keys. After a sold-out homecoming show at Cork City Hall, it’s clear they’ve earned a devoted following, and with their recent single ‘Marsh’ pointing toward moodier, more atmospheric territory, the band is poised for a breakthrough in 2026.

Los Angeles singer-songwriter Stella Lefty is carving out a distinctive sound that blends keen observation with raw emotional immediacy. She’s already making a name for herself onstage, turning introspective songwriting into a commanding live performance. Her latest single, “Thinking ’bout You”, released at the start of the year, has captured widespread attention on TikTok,  and with a growing fanbase and a strong creative vision, Lefty continues to establish her own unique space in contemporary pop.

The eclectic lineup will join Mumford & Sons for their huge headline show this summer. Final acts are still to be announced.

Mumford & Sons have travelled the world since 2008, headlining festivals, topping charts, and collaborating with icons like Dylan, Springsteen and Neil Young. But London has always been the band’s anchor, and Hyde Park remains one of their most cherished stages.

Last month, they claimed their fourth Official Number 1 album, and second in less than a year, with the release of Prizefighter. The acclaimed album was created with Aaron Dessner at Long Pond Studio and features Hozier, Gracie Abrams, Chris Stapleton and Gigi Perez. It follows RUSHMERE, their 2025 UK No. 1 album that powered a sold-out global arena tour.

American Express presents BST Hyde Park 2026 headliners: Garth Brooks (27 June), Maroon 5 (3 July), Mumford & Sons (4 July), Pitbull (10 July) and Lewis Capaldi (11 July and 12 July).

American Express presents BST Hyde Park today announces that it will host an official GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title attempt for the Largest gathering of people wearing bald caps during Pitbull’s headlining show on Friday 10 July. 

The idea of a world record was championed by Radio 1 Breakfast host Greg James on air. A long-time fan of Pitbull, Greg James excitedly called for the record attempt as soon as the Hyde Park show was announced. After hearing about Greg’s world record quest, Pitbull texted him to say he was keen to be involved.  

“Guinness Book of World Records, get ready for all the Bald-E’s that’ll be putting it down on July 10th at Hyde Park,” says Pitbull “Every time you put on that bald cap, you know you’re about to have the time of your lives. We appreciate the love, the commitment, and the support. More than anything, we just want to say thank you. Dale!”

The attempt builds on a phenomenon sparked by Pitbull’s devoted international fanbase, including  his recent sold-out O2 Arena shows in London where thousands of fans arrived wearing bald caps. The fan fashion tribute to the artist’s iconic look quickly went viral last year, with audiences affectionately dubbing themselves “The Bald E’s”. The movement continues across his live shows globally this year, including his upcoming European and North American I’M BACK tour dates, celebrating the larger-than-life spirit of Mr. Worldwide.

BST Hyde Park now brings this fan-led moment to its biggest stage yet, inviting audiences to take part in an official, adjudicated GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title attempt and be part of music history. Final tickets are on sale now, visit www.bst-hydepark.com

The official record comes with all-important rules, being that “all participants must wear bald caps secured firmly on the head, with hair tucked under at the front and top (hair may hang from the back),” and everyone must be together at the same time, as “all participants must be gathered together and in position simultaneously and remain so for a minimum of one minute.”

Darcey Jackson, Director of Talent at AEG Presents European Festivals says, “We’re so excited to host a [Mr] world [wide] record attempt at Pitbull’s show in BST Hyde Park – The highest number of people wearing baldcaps! We’ve broken a few world records in the past but this will really truly be the time of our lives . We cannot wait to welcome you all to Hyde Park for what will inevitably be an incredible show. Come one, come all, come bald” 

Will Munford, Adjudicator at Guinness World Records says, “We look forward to Adjudicating this record at BST Hyde Park with Pitbull. What better way to be part of something amazing than coming together with other fans to celebrate your favourite artist. Best of luck to all of those taking part on the day!”

Mumford & Sons to headline BST Hyde Park 2026

by

American Express presents BST Hyde Park is delighted to welcome Mumford & Sons back to the Great Oak Stage on Saturday 4 July 2026 – ten years since their last legendary appearance.


For a band born in West London’s grassroots music scene, this is more than a show. It’s a homecoming. They will be joined by special guest The War On Drugs, with more artists to be revealed. Tickets on sale Thursday 4 December at 10am.

Mumford & Sons have travelled the world since 2008, headlining festivals, topping charts, and collaborating with icons like Dylan, Springsteen and Neil Young. But London has always been the band’s anchor, and Hyde Park remains one of their most cherished stages.

Their upcoming album Prizefighter, arriving 13 February, was created with Aaron Dessner at Long Pond Studio and features Hozier, Gracie Abrams, Chris Stapleton and Gigi Perez. It follows RUSHMERE, their 2025 UK No. 1 album that powered a sold-out global arena tour.

Mumford & Sons say: “Hyde Park is woven into our story, it’s where so many memories were made. Coming back a decade later, with all this new music, feels incredibly special. London is and always will be the band’s home. We can’t wait.”

The 2026 set will celebrate every corner of the band’s catalogue from early favourites and modern classics to brand-new songs performed for the first time. Expect one of the biggest sing-alongs Hyde Park will see all summer.

AEG Presents CEO Jim King says: “Their last Hyde Park show was a milestone for BST. Having them return at this moment in their career is something we’re incredibly proud of.”

The War on Drugs have steadily emerged as one of this century’s great rock and roll synthesists, removing the gaps between the underground and the mainstream, between the obtuse and the anthemic, making records that wrestle a fractured past into a unified and engrossing present. Led by Adam Granduciel, The New Yorker called them “the best American ‘rock’ band of this decade” in support of their album, A Deeper Understanding, for which they won the 2018 Grammy for Best Rock Album and were nominated for a BRIT Award for International Group of the Year. 2020 saw the release of LIVE DRUGS, followed by 2024’s LIVE DRUGS AGAIN,  featuring live interpretations of songs throughout their career, including off their 2014 breakthrough, Lost In The Dream. Co-produced by Granduciel and Shawn Everett, their fifth studio album, I Don’t Live Here Anymore, “chips away some of their hazier edges in favor of sharper melodies, broadening the borders of the meticulous yet joyously simple sound [Granduciel] has perfected” (Pitchfork, Best New Music). It landed on numerous 2021 best albums of the year lists and garnered a second GRAMMY Award nomination (Best Rock Song) and BRIT Award nomination. The band headlined Madison Square Garden in support of its release.

Previously announced 2026 BST Hyde Park headliners are country star Garth Brooks (Saturday 27 June), Pitbull on Friday 10 July, and Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi (Saturday 11 July and Sunday 12 July), with many more stars to be announced.

Over the past three decades, Maroon 5 have become one of the defining pop bands of their generation, fronted by charismatic lead singer Adam Levine. Their breakthrough came with 2002’s Songs About Jane, which took off when “This Love” hit the Top 5 in 2004, followed by hits like “She Will Be Loved” and “Sunday Morning.” The band’s follow-up album It Won’t Be Soon Before Long went multi-platinum, propelled by the chart-topping “Makes Me Wonder.” Over the years, they have collaborated with major names including Christina Aguilera on the globally adored 2011 number one “Moves Like Jagger,” as well as Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, Kendrick Lamar, Future and many more.

Their hit-filled run includes the albums Overexposed (2012), V (2014), Red Pill Blues (2017), and JORDI (2021), producing global smashes such as “One More Night,” “Sugar,” “Girls Like You” and “Memories.” Alongside huge headline tours and collaborations, they delivered one of their most high-profile moments when they headlined the Super Bowl LIII halftime show in 2019. More than two decades on with 135 million records sold, Maroon 5 remain chart regulars, continuing to evolve their sound through R&B, pop and hip-hop influences while maintaining their status as one of modern pop’s biggest bands.

Joining them are former collaborators, the GRAMMY® nominated OneRepublic. Since their debut, the band has amassed over 5 billion Spotify streams. Their 2007 debut album Dreaming Out Loud featured the 20-million-selling single “Apologize”, a global smash that earned them a GRAMMY® nomination. This was followed by 2009’s Waking Up, with hits including “All the Right Moves,” “Secrets” and “Good Life.” In 2013, they released the platinum-certified Native, which spawned the global No. 1 single “Counting Stars.” Later albums include Oh My My (2016) and Human (2021).

Pitbull to headline BST Hyde Park plus special guest Kesha

by

American Express presents BST Hyde Park is thrilled to announce that its latest headliner for 2026 will be Mr Worldwide himself, Pitbull. He will be joined by Kesha and many more acts still to be revealed.

The star will take to the Great Oak Stage on Friday 10 July 2026. Tickets go on general sale on Wednesday 8 October. Visit www.bst-hydepark.com.

The international superstar has sold more than 25 million studio albums and has more than 60 million monthly listeners on streaming platforms. He has worked with everyone from Jennifer Lopez to Christina Aguilera to Usher.

With mega hits including ‘Don’t Stop the Party’, ‘Timber’, ‘Hotel Room Service’, ‘Time of Our Lives’, ‘Give Me Everything’, ‘Fireball’ and ‘Get On The Floor’ the Grammy Award winner has secured his place as not only one of the pre-eminent figures in Latin music and hip hop but as one of the biggest names in the pop world.

Pitbull’s 15-date sold-out ‘Party After Dark’ European tour in June, including two shows at the O2 arena, really took off! Thousands of bald cap adorning fans gathered at arenas across the globe.

The Times gave a 4-star review for the show at the O2, while Metro gave 4.5, writing: “I expected a good time, but nothing could’ve prepared me for the pandemonium I witnessed.”

Rolling Stone UK described Pitbull’s show as “the only cult I’d ever want to join”.

The shows resulted in a viral explosion of fans proudly wearing bald caps and dubbing themselves “The Bald E’s” in honor of the artist’s signature look and larger-than-life persona. The fan movement has taken social media by storm, celebrating Pitbull’s iconic image with humor, creativity and unity.

A true pop icon and electrifying live performer, Kesha burst onto the scene with her record-breaking debut single TiK ToK, which became one of the best-selling digital singles of all time. She quickly followed it with global anthems like We R Who We R and Die Young, cementing her place as one of the defining pop voices of the 2010s. Alongside her own hits, she also topped charts worldwide with the Pitbull collaboration Timber, and first came to prominence after featuring on Flo Rida’s No.1 smash Right Round.

Across her career she has sold millions of records, clocked billions of streams and earned a Grammy nomination, all while evolving her sound from euphoric pop to raw, emotional ballads and genre-spanning experiments. This summer, Kesha returned with her acclaimed new album (…), hailed by The Guardian as “a smart, funny return to her hedonistic hot-mess persona” and by NME as “a classic combo of sass, sex and spirituality.” Kesha herself described it as “the first album I’ve made where I felt truly free” – a powerful new chapter from one of pop’s most distinctive and enduring voices.

Jim King, CEO of AEG Presents UK: “We’re proud that over the years, BST Hyde Park has welcomed artists from every corner of the musical spectrum, but there’s truly no one quite like Mr. Worldwide. Pitbull’s energy is unmatched, and his ability to unite audiences across generations is something special. BST Hyde Park is about joy, connection, and unforgettable nights, and with Pitbull, we know he will deliver all of that and more.”

Previously announced as headliners for 2026 are Garth Brooks (Saturday 27 June) and Lewis Capaldi (Saturday 11 July and Sunday 12 July), with many more stars to be announced.

BST Hyde Park announces extra Lewis Capaldi show due to phenomenal demand

by

American Express presents BST Hyde Park is excited to announce an additional show for Scottish headliner Lewis Capaldi. Due to phenomenal demand, the BRIT Award-winning musician has announced a second show on Sunday 12 July 2026, following the sell-out of his performance on Saturday 11 July. Tickets for Capaldi’s latest show will go on general sale today at 1:30pm. Visit www.bst-hydepark.com for more information.

Breaking out in 2019 with his record-breaking single ‘Someone You Loved’, Capaldi followed up with BRIT-nominated debut album Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent. Capaldi took a hiatus following the release of his sophomore album, but returned with an inspirational, triumphant surprise show at Glastonbury in 2025, featuring his new song ‘Survive’, and a joyous appearance at Noah Kahan’s set this year, sparking a rapturous welcome from fans. The single became the fastest-selling single of 2025 and that success has also seen his biggest-ever opening week sales for a single. Capaldi now joins esteemed company with the likes of Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Drake, Lady Gaga & Queen to achieve six UK number 1 singles, beating David Bowie, Katy Perry, The Police & more.

A headliner-sized Pyramid Stage crowd embraced the emotion of Capaldi’s return – one of the cultural moments of the year – for a powerful, hit-laden half-hour Glastonbury set. “I just wanted to come and finish what I couldn’t finish last time,” said Capaldi. That he emphatically did, with his soaring vocals leading the crowd through classics, as well as a first live showing for ‘Survive’, and a unifying performance of ‘Someone You Loved’.

Now, Capaldi is making his ultimate comeback performing two dates at BST Hyde Park (Saturday 11 July and Sunday 12 July 2026), joining the illustrious line-up of world-renowned artists who have graced the stage, from Stevie Wonder and The Rolling Stones to Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift and many more.

The beloved Scottish singer is currently making his way through a sold-out 17-date UK arena tour, having been met by rapturous crowds so far in Sheffield, Aberdeen & Glasgow – a powerful reminder of the connection he commands. The response to the tour has been electric, with critics unanimous in their praise, delivering four and five-star reviews across the board.

Capaldi’s subsequent success stems back to 2019’s multimillion-selling debut Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent, which propelled Capaldi from bedroom musician to superstar. Few had seen a debut release quite like it, becoming the biggest selling UK album of both 2019 & 2020, spawning two UK number 1 singles, bagging a few BRITs and a GRAMMY® nomination, with one of those number 1’s becoming a smash hit on both sides of the globe in ‘Someone You Loved’, which as well as recently going 10x Platinum, is also the UK’s most streamed song of all time & the world’s fourth highest ever streamed song.

As he continues to mark a new era, Capaldi has returned even stronger, heart wide open, and ready to step out again. Capaldi has also been announced to headline the inaugural Roundhay Festival on Saturday 4 July 2026. Visit roundhayfestival.com for more information. Capaldi’s full tour dates can be found at www.lewiscapaldi.com/tour.
