In a statement released on the festival’s social media pages, Jackman apologized for having to back out from the concert, saying: “Due to an unforeseen conflict in my schedule, I am deeply disappointed to announce I will be unable to perform in Hyde Park this July 6th. This was a stage I truly was looking forward to being on. No less in a city that I love so much. Thank you to all people who’ve purchased tickets. For ticket refunds, please go to the link in my bio for more information. London, I will see you soon”

As soon as the news broke, the public begun speculating whether the cancellation was due to poor ticket sales in correlation with Jackman’s slot at the iconic Hyde Park stage.  Various people begun leaving comment’s under the Festival’s instagram post, noting that Jackman was heavily advertised in the past weeks as a headliner but perhaps the publicity still failed to ensure a sold out night. 

Other performers for the upcoming series of BST Hyde Park concerts are Olivia Rodrigo, Zach Bryan, Noah Kahan and Jeff Lynne’s ELO.

Carpenter recently released the deluxe version of her chart topping album ‘Short n Sweet’, which has been a staple on Official Charts’s Top Ten Albums since its release in mid August of last year. The deluxe, released last Friday to celebrate Valentine’s Day, might earn the record its third non consecutive week at number one on this week’s charts. 

But the two nights at BST Hyde Park won’t be the only time the ‘Espresso’ singer is in London this year. She in fact is about to embark on her sold out UK tour which will take her to London’s O2 Arena this march, in addition to also performing at the BRITs.

Tickets for Sabrina’s second night (Sunday, July 6) will go on general sale on Monday, February 24 at 10am GMT.

starting from 10am on Friday December 6, while the BST pre-sale begins at 12pm on Monday, December 9.

While the full lineup is yet to be announced, BST Hyde Park has already revealed two supporting acts for Carpenter: Clairo and Beabadoobee will be playing the Hyde Park stage next July as special guests for the “Espresso” singer. Carpenter also first performed in Hyde Park as a support act, opening for BLACKPINK in 2023.

Sabrina Carpenter first started her career as a Disney Channel actress, and in mid-2010s begun releasing music. Her first album, “Eyes Wide Open” was released in 2015 and was followed by “EVOLution” in 2016. Carpenter released some Christmas songs and songs for film soundtracks throughout the years; she wrote and performed songs for her Disney original movie “CLOUDS” and sung for the soundtrack of the Netflix film “Work it”. In 2018 and 2019, Carpenter released sister albums “Singular Act I” and “Singular Act II”. But Carpenter rose to fame after the release of her song “Skin” in 2021, which was followed by the album “Emails I can’t Send” and, more recently, chart-topping “Short n Sweet”.

“Emails I can’t Send” was released in 2022 and received critical acclaim and put Carpenter in the spotlight for a much wider public than her previous albums. It peaked at 41 on UK charts, charting for 32 weeks. The singles “Nonsense” and “Feathers” peaked respectively at 32 and 19; the albums were followed by a tour which eventually led Carpenter to open for Taylor Swift on some dates of the Eras Tour.

In 2024, Carpenter released “Short n Sweet” which became the artist’s first album to peak at number one in the UK and has charted in the top ten since its release. The three singles off the album, “Espresso”, “Please, Please, Please” and “Taste” have all peaked at number one in the UK and broke records: Carpenter was the first artist in 71 years to score 20 weeks in the same year as number one. Currently, “Short n Sweet” is charting as number three in the UK.

Before BST Hyde Park, Carpenter will be touring in the UK and Europe. Currently, her sold out tour will take her to Dublin, Birmingham, London, Glasgow and Manchester. In London, Carpenter will be playing the O2 Arena.

Other acts that have been announced so far for BST Hyde Park are Olivia Rodrigo, Noah Kahan, Jeff Lynne’s ELO, Hugh Jackman and Zach Bryan. Many more headliners are still to be revealed but next year’s BST edition has yet to disappoint.

General sale tickets will be available on general sale next Wednesday, December 13. You can access full prices and tickets on BST’s website.

We’re so excited to announce that @oliviarodrigo is headlining American Express presents @BSTHydePark on Friday 27 June 2025

With almost 50 million listeners on Spotify and three number 1 hits on UK official Charts at only 21, Olivia Rodrigo is the voice of a generation.

Rodrigo first began her career as an actress on Disney Channel and landed the lead role in a TV show remake of High School Musical. In 2021, she released her debut single “Driver’s License” which received acclaim from both the public and critics and marked one of the biggest debuts in history.

After Driver’s License was released, Rodrigo became a pop icon all at once and her following singles became radio hits and received millions of streams in ever app. Rodrigo then announced her debut album “SOUR”, from which the singles “Good 4 You” and “Déjà vu” were taken. “SOUR” became the pop anthem of the youngest generation, with Rodrigo being compared to the likes of Taylor Swift. “SOUR” won “Best Pop Album” at the 64^th edition of the Grammy Awards, same year where Rodrigo won the “Best New Artist” category.

After undertaking a world tour and releasing a documentary, Rodrigo announced her second studio album titled “GUTS”. The first single off “GUTS”, titled “Vampire”, confirmed Rodrigo as more than just a one hit wonder, but instead highlighted her songwriting and vocal skills. “GUTS” was followed by yet another world tour and a deluxe version which contained the single “Obsessed”.

Rodrigo has also written and performed for various soundtracks. Besides writing original song for her TV show “High School Musical: The Show: The Music”, she also wrote “Can’t Catch Me Now” for the movie “Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snake” which earned her a Grammy nomination.

Rodrigo played multiple sold out shows all over the United Kingdom, her “GUTS: world tour” took her to Manchester, Glasgow, and Birmingham and finally for four, sold-out, nights at London’s O2 Arena. She also previously played Glastonbury. Despite gracing stages all over the world, BST Hyde Park is a new achievement for Rodrigo. The London stage is, in fact, going to be her biggest UK headline show to date.

Tickets will be available for sale on the British Summer Time’s website for an exclusive pre-sale on Monday 13 November at 10am, and on general sale on Friday 15 November at 9am.

Williams burst onto the stage with a large group of dancers to put on quite the spectacle kicking off the headline set with his classic hit ‘Let Me Entertain You’ and then played ‘Come Undone’ and ‘Strong’. Williams’ set followed shortly after the England football team beat Switzerland to progress to the Semi-final of Euro 2024 with the singer saying, “Thank f*** England won!” to the crowd. He then asked his fans “How are you feeling everybody? Are you excited to see me?”

Later into his performance, Danny Dyer came out to cheers from the crowd. “It’s the double act you didn’t know you needed in your life,” and then the Eastender addressed the fans “Let’s ‘ave it, Hyde Park,”. They then proceeded to do a rendition of Britpop superstars, Blur’s ‘Parklife’ with Danny Dyer taking the role of Phil Daniels on this occasion. The duo was accompanied by members of the Welsh guard.

Earlier in the set Williams took the crowd back to his Take That days playing the boy band’s 1992 hit ‘Could It Be Magic’. He then proceeded to tell the Hyde Park crowd the story of how he quit the group in 1995 followed by a version of Oasis’ ‘Don’t Look Back In Anger’ and even more Britpop related action when the former Take That man brought out Supergrass’ Gaz Coombes to perform a duet of the Latter’s 90s hit ‘Alright’.

He also later on performed Take That’s hit ‘Back For Good’ before making a tribute to his wife, Ayda, and his children where he thanked them for helping change his life around. “I’ve been with my wife for 18 years. I am the man that I am because you have allowed me to grow with you,” he said praising his wife. He then sent a message to his four kids “And Teddy, you were the first of your kind and you absolutely blew my friggin’ mind. Daddy is super, super proud of you. I’m going to dedicate this next song to Beau, aged four, Coco, aged five, Charlie, aged nine and Teddy, aged 11.”

Robbie Williams then proceeded to go through his endless catalogue of huge hits including the likes of ‘Rock DJ’, ‘No Regrets’, ‘Supreme’, ‘Feel’, ‘Millennium’, and ‘Kids’. Along with playing his own hits the 90s superstar played tribute to some of his late heroes such as Bob Marley, David Bowie, Elvis Presely, Tina Turner and more.

He also expressed his huge gratitude to his fans. “At 50, I’m still here and I’m extremely grateful… Tonight I was the happiest and most chilled I have ever been coming on stage. Maybe it was England [winning], maybe it was you guys, but I’m really f****** happy… Thank you for helping me remain on the planet. I love you guys.”

Hyde Park: last night was absolutely sensational, that was one of my favourite shows ever. Thank you, thank you, thank you  pic.twitter.com/9dSfbgVMV5

Pearl Jam’s BST Hyde Park appearance was originally set for 2021 but due to COVID-19 relates issues the event was postponed until this year. To announce the news, BST Hyde Park posted the following statement on their website, “It is with a heavy heart that we announce that BST Hyde Park will not take place in July 2021. We are however happy to share that Duran Duran and Pearl Jam will go ahead in July 2022. Pearl Jam will take place on Friday 8th and Saturday 9th July 2022. Friday 8th will feature special guests Pixies, whilst Saturday 9th July will welcome a new guest artist to be announced – as well as full supporting lineups. Duran Duran will take place on Sunday 10th July 2022 and will be rejoined by their incredible guest – Nile Rodgers & CHIC, with further acts to be confirmed soon. “

The London event continued to update ticket-holders with administrative information whilst confirming the decision taken to delay the live event, “All tickets remain valid for the scheduled 2022 dates. You will be directly contacted by the ticket agent you purchased from with full details, including refund information if you are no longer able to attend the rescheduled dates. If you have not been contacted about a refund by your ticket agent by Friday 30th April, please get in touch with them directly. Following our review of the most recent government advice, the latest timeline means that we are unable to deliver with certainty the quality BST Hyde Park is known for in the time available. By making this decision at this stage we allow artists, crew, fans and everyone that comes together to help create these shows to plan accordingly.”

The event, partnered with American Express, then gave thanks to those on the frontlines of the pandemic, “We’d like to take this opportunity to thank the NHS and all the incredible organisations and individuals who have been working tirelessly in these past twelve months to keep the country safe. Your efforts are enormously appreciated. Team BST x”

Robbie will be closing the annual concert with his performance on Sunday 14 July. He will be joined at the festival by rock icons, such as, Bob Dylan and Neil Young, who are set to perform on Friday 12 July. More acts are yet to be announced.

The tickets for BST go on sale on Thursday 6 December at 9am. However, Robbie’s fans can enjoy the privilege of pre-release tickets, which will be available on his website from Monday 3 December.

The now X Factor judge is also expected to perform a blend of his best songs during the X Factor final, which will be aired at  7.30pm on Saturday December 1st and at 7.30pm on Sunday December 2nd on ITV. He will be performing, not once but three times.

It has also been announced that following his X Factor finale performance, Williams will be heading to Las Vegas to rehearse for his residency, which will be taking a place only a month before his BST headline show, in March 2019.

The former Take That singer is adored by the British public, having sold 77 million albums worldwide. So if you’re a fan and would like to see him perform any time soon, it is probably best to keep a look out for the tickets. The tickets will be available on Ticketmaster.

The gig will be The Heartbreaker’s first festival performance in the UK since 2012, only their second UK tour in 20 years, and their only European date in 2017. It is timed to commemorate the 40^th anniversary of the band’s self-titled debut album. James King, senior vice president of AEG Live who are organising the event, promised the evening would be a ‘one-night-only experience direct from the music gods.’ He added that, ‘Tom Petty’s UK fans will feel blessed to see him and the Heartbreakers in such a rare appearance in this country. Celebrating their 40th anniversary with them is their friend and true icon Stevie Nicks. Music does not get better than this.’ Indeed Nicks’ love for the band with whom she will share the stage on July 9^th led her to tell Rolling Stone in 2010 that, ‘In 1976, I’d been in Fleetwood Mac for about a year when I heard Tom Petty’s debut. I became such a fan that if I hadn’t been in a band myself, I would have joined that one’, via The Guardian. Nicks’ wish came true, after a fashion, when Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers appeared on her first two solo albums. Nicks has also recently added extra dates to the 24 Karat Gold Tour, and will be joined on the road by both The Pretenders and Chrissie Hynde.

Aside from the love-in between Petty and Nicks, festival goers will also see Denver folk-rockers The Lumineers take to the stage. The band released their second album, Cleopatra, earlier in the year, with the album topping the Billboard 200 in both the US and UK Albums Charts. The band also recently showed they have a festive side in addition to their more contemplative, wistful vibe, by releasing a cover of Elvis’ Blue Christmas which they initially performed live at the National Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony.

This announcement covers the July 9^th night of the festival, however, the event will be spread over a series of dates. Phil Collins will headline on the 30^th June; Green Day will take to the stage on the 1^st July, as previously reported by mxdwn.co.uk; the 2^nd of July will be crowned by a set from Justin Bieber; Kings of Leon are slated to top the bill on the 6^th July – which you can read more about at mxdwn.co.uk; before Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers finally take to the stage to close the festival on the 9^th July.

Tickets for the event are now on sale, ranging in price from £62.50-£299 and are available here.

The American rock band will take to the Great Oak Stage on July 1, where they will showcase their forthcoming album Radio Revolution on what will be the festival’s fifth birthday. Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has said to NME: “London in the summer, us and tens of thousands of fans having the biggest party in one of the world’s most legendary venues. We have the best year to look forward to and this has just made it extra special.”

The Libertines, The Strokes, Blur, Taylor Swift, The Rolling Stones and Stevie Wonder have all headlined British Summer Time in the past. Last year Florence and the Machine and Mumford and Sons all performed too.

James King, Senior Vice President of AEG Live, said to The List : “We’re super excited to be announcing Green Day as our first headliner for 2017. So many hits and also some amazing new music as well. London is going to be treated to one of the best stadium bands of our generation on the Great Oak Stage in Hyde Park.”

The lead single for Revolution Radio, ‘Bang Bang’, was released on August 11th and reached number three on the US Alternate Songs chart. Before their slot at BST Hyde Park, Green Day will be touring Europe in January and February, visiting Italy, Germany, Sweden, France and, of course, the UK. They’ll play Leed’s First Direct Arena, the Manchester Arena and London’s O2 Arena between February 6th and 8th.

Revolution Radio is out on October 7th 2016 through Reprise Records. Tickets for BST will be available on the same day at 9am.

Speaking to Metal Hammer about the band’s upcoming gig as part of British Summer Time, Iommi stated that “It could be the last ever Sabbath show”. Formed in Birmingham in 1968, Black Sabbath have remained one of the most popular British rock bands over the past half-century.

Though there may have been several line-up changes throughout the years, Iommi has been the only ever-present member and he makes up one third of the current set-up alongside Ozzy Osbourne and Geezer Butler. He completed treatment for lymphoma in March and though things may be looking up, Iommi states that he is at a stage now where [he has] no support, which means [he has] to see whether the cancer is coming back or if it’s still there or what”.

Catch Black Sabbath, quite possibly for the last time ever, at British Summer Time on July 4th alongside Faith No More, Motorhead and more. For tickets and event details, click here.

The long-time crooner has had a significant resurgence since he became a judge on the popular Saturday night entertainment show The Voice and will undoubtedly have women of all generations swooning over him as he takes to the Hyde Park stage. Sir Tom will be joined at this year’s event by the likes of Boyzone, Little Mix and 10cc.

This will be just one of a number of British Summer Time events being held in Hyde Park over the summer with some of the other names to appear including Black Sabbath (July 4th) and The National and Neil Young (July 12th).

For the fans of Sir Tom that are unable to make it to BST, he’ll also be alongside Cliff Richard in supporting Morrissey over in Los Angeles on May 10th – though this may be a bit too far for some of his longest serving fans to travel.

For the full line-up and more information see the official BST website.
