Bon Jovi to Headline BST Hyde Park 2027

Bon Jovi has been announced as the first headliner for BST Hyde Park 2027, marking a return to the London festival 14 years after they performed at its inaugural event.

The Grammy award-winning and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band, led by Jon Bon Jovi, will perform on June 24, 2027, as part of their current Forever Tour.

Bon Jovi headlined the first BST Hyde Park festival in 2013, opening the event with a performance that set a precedent for subsequent shows. Jon Bon Jovi expressed excitement about returning to the venue.

"We have a storied history with performing at Hyde Park on previous tours and it's a full circle moment to be returning to BST Hyde Park, 14 years after headlining the very first festival," Jon Bon Jovi said. "The Forever Tour has been an incredible celebration of the music and the fans who have been with us all these years. There's nothing quite like the energy of a UK crowd, and the joy and excitement we shared with our fans this summer was something truly special. To bring that energy back to Hyde Park means a lot to us. We're grateful for every one of you and can't wait to make more memories together."

The band recently concluded a run of major shows in 2026, including performances at New York's Madison Square Garden, Edinburgh, Dublin, and three nights at Wembley Stadium as part of the Forever Tour. Last year also saw the release of "FOREVER (Legendary Edition)", a reimagined version of their "FOREVER" album featuring collaborations with artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Lainey Wilson, and Robbie Williams.

Jim King, CEO of AEG Presents UK and European Festivals, welcomed the band's return. "Bon Jovi helped launch BST Hyde Park in 2013, and it's a pleasure to welcome them back," King stated. "They are one of the defining rock bands of their generation, with an extraordinary catalogue of hits and a live show that remains as powerful and compelling as ever. They continue to connect with audiences around the world, making this rare return to Hyde Park a genuinely special occasion."

Further headliners and acts for the 2027 BST Hyde Park festival will be announced in the coming months. The 2026 festival featured artists including Garth Brooks, ATEEZ, Maroon 5, Mumford & Sons, Duran Duran, Pitbull, and Lewis Capaldi.

Tickets for Bon Jovi's BST Hyde Park 2027 performance will go on general sale Friday, October 23, at 10 a.m. BST.
