BST Hyde Park has been London's premier outdoor concert series since 2013, transforming 350 acres of royal parkland into a world-class live music venue each summer. When Adele took to the Great Oak Stage in 2022, she brought 65,000 people to a standstill on consecutive nights, cementing the festival's reputation as the place where the biggest artists in the world come to play on home turf.

1822

Hyde Park's first public concerts take root.

A royal hunting ground seized by Henry VIII in 1536, Hyde Park spent two centuries evolving into London's cultural heartland.

Hyde Park has hosted public gatherings and musical performances since the early 19th century. George IV opened the park to wider public use, and by the 1820s it had become a natural amphitheatre for London's cultural life. The park's 350 acres, originally seized by Henry VIII in 1536 as a hunting ground, would spend the next two centuries evolving into one of the world's great urban green spaces.

1968

The free concerts that changed everything.

Half a million people, no ticket required; Hyde Park rewrote the rulebook before any purpose-built venue had even sharpened its pencil.

AdeleSinger-songwriter, ahead of her 2022 BST Hyde Park shows

I cry at everything. I said I wouldn't cry but I'm back home.

AdeleSinger-songwriter, on stage at BST Hyde Park, July 2022

In 1968, Blackhill Enterprises staged the first major rock concert in Hyde Park, featuring Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull. The following year, the Rolling Stones played their legendary free concert to an estimated 250,000 to 500,000 people, just two days after the death of guitarist Brian Jones. That single afternoon proved Hyde Park could hold its own against any purpose-built venue on earth.

2009

A Tottenham girl releases an album called 19.

Two Grammys won before most people had learned her name.

Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, born in Tottenham in 1988 and a graduate of the BRIT School, had already released her debut album 19 in 2008 to critical acclaim. By 2009, she had won two Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist. The voice that would eventually fill Hyde Park was still playing intimate venues, but the trajectory was unmistakable.

2008

21 makes Adele the biggest-selling artist on the planet.

Six Grammys in a single night; 31 million albums sold worldwide. Adele did not join the conversation. She ended it.

The release of 21 in January 2011 was seismic. Powered by 'Rolling in the Deep' and 'Someone Like You', the album spent 23 weeks at number one in the UK and sold over 31 million copies worldwide. Adele swept six Grammy Awards in a single evening in 2012, tying the record for most wins by a female artist. She was no longer a rising star. She was the star.

2013

BST Hyde Park is born.

Over 100,000 people turned up for opening weekend alone. Not bad for a first attempt.

AEG Presents launched British Summer Time Hyde Park in July 2013, with the Rolling Stones headlining the inaugural festival. The concept was straightforward but ambitious: turn the park into a multi-weekend concert series each summer, with a single headliner commanding the Great Oak Stage each night. Bon Jovi and Lionel Richie also headlined that first year, drawing over 100,000 people across the opening weekend alone.

2015

The festival finds its stride with Taylor Swift and The Who.

65,000 fans and American Express in the same summer; BST had officially grown up.

By its third year, BST Hyde Park had established itself as London's unmissable summer fixture. Taylor Swift's 2015 headline set drew 65,000 fans, while The Who, Blur, and Kylie Minogue also topped the bill. American Express came on board as presenting sponsor, and the hospitality offering expanded significantly, with premium viewing areas, private bars, and dedicated dining experiences becoming central to the proposition.

2020

The pandemic silences Hyde Park.

Two silent summers: the Great Oak Stage went unplayed for the first time in the festival's history.

COVID-19 forced the cancellation of BST Hyde Park in both 2020 and 2021. For the first time since its inception, the Great Oak Stage stood silent through two consecutive summers. The enforced hiatus only sharpened appetite for what would come next.

2022

Adele comes home to Hyde Park.

Over two million people chased a ticket; sixty-five thousand got lucky.

On 1 and 2 July 2022, Adele headlined BST Hyde Park in what became the defining moment in the festival's history. Playing to 65,000 people each night, she performed tracks from 30 alongside her greatest hits, opening with 'Hello' as the sun set over the Serpentine. It was her first UK live performance in five years, and the demand was staggering: over 2 million people entered the ticket ballot. The production was stripped back by stadium standards. No pyrotechnics, no dancers. Just Adele, a microphone, and that voice carrying across the park. The simplicity was the point. She chatted between songs, kicked off her shoes, and made 65,000 people feel like they were in her living room.

2024

BST Hyde Park enters a new era.

Three million concertgoers and still counting; Hyde Park has quietly become the world's most coveted outdoor stage.

The 2024 edition featured headliners including Robbie Williams, SZA, Stevie Wonder, and Kings of Leon. The festival continued to expand its hospitality offering, with The Terrace, The Lounge, and Diamond experiences providing tiered premium access. Over a decade in, BST Hyde Park has hosted more than 3 million concertgoers and established itself as one of the most prestigious outdoor concert series anywhere in the world.
