You’re still the one, BST Hyde Park. That’s for sure. Once again, the renowned festival have got summer plans sorted for just about everyone. With headliners ranging from SZA to Robbie Williams and Stray Kids, there’s truly something for all ages, music tastes and anyone on Planet Earth that is a Music Enjoyer.

Kicking off on June 28th (Friday) with a performance from All Things Orchestral as presented by ex Hear’Say member Myleene Klass, audiences will be treated to an unforgettable set performed by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, with special guests Esther Abrami and classical guitarist MILOŠ.

The next day on June 29th (Saturday), the pace and vibe will do a 180 as the stage welcomes American singer-songwriter SZA, with support from Sampha and Snoh Aalegra and more yet to be announced. With the sun setting as she takes to the stage, this is not one to be missed if you like your summer evenings magical.

On the Sunday, June 30th, we’ll see American rock band — catapulted to fame thanks to Sex On Fire and Use Somebody — take to the stage with support coming from befitting Paolo Nutini and everyone’s favourite indie band The Vaccines. With a line-up so perfectly in sync with one another, this day of the festival is one for lovers of good old fashioned indie rock.

The next act takes to the stage on July 4th (Thursday) and is the chart-topping country musician Morgan Wallen, proving that BST Hyde Park really do deliver when it comes to a well-rounded festival with a day for everyone to enjoy. If you like country, then keep July 7th (Sunday) in your diary, as that’s when superstar Shania Twain is set to don her cowboy hat and impress the crowd with her sensational sound that seemingly never ages.

July 5th (Friday) sees the renowned classical artist Andrea Bocelli take to the stage to keep the balance, promising fans and the audience a memorable time with his unfathomable talent. The following day on July 6th (Saturday) sees ex-Take That member and world class entertainer Robbie Williams grace the stage with his unwavering energy (we’ll expect him to still be that energetic at 80!).

Fleetwood Mac’s front lady and forever icon Stevie Nicks takes to the BST Hyde Park stage on July 12th (Friday) for a rock ‘n’ roll performance to remember, bringing her storytelling songs and big personality with her, as well as support from Brandi Carlile, Anna Calvi and Paris Paloma. This is one for the history books, and so is July 13th (Saturday), when we are graced with the Nation’s favourite adopted Brit, the Australian-born Kylie [Minogue]. Having headlined back in 2015, the popstar is back for round two and promises an unforgettable night. Although both act’s full line-ups are yet to be announced, it’s set to be a weekend you won’t want to miss, simply from the headliners alone.

Rounding off an exciting week is South Korean pop group Stray Kids, who make their debut headline performance in the UK and are bound to make thousands of teenage girls’ dreams come true as they jet across the globe on July 14th (Sunday).
