News: Bon Jovi Announced As First 2027 Headliner For Bst Hyde Park

American Express presents BST Hyde Park announces its first headliner for 2027, welcoming back the band who headlined the festival’s inaugural show in 2013. BON JOVI, the GRAMMY Award®-winning, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band and one of the most iconic live acts of all time, will headline on Thursday 24 June 2027.

When BON JOVI first headlined BST Hyde Park in 2013, they opened the festival the only way they know how – with a huge show packed with anthems, setting the bar for the years to come. Now one of rock’s biggest live acts make their epic return to Hyde Park.

“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,” said Jon Bon Jovi. “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.”

It’s been a huge 12 months for BON JOVI. In 2026, they made their highly anticipated return to the stage with a run of major shows, including nine sold-out nights at New York’s Madison Square Garden, sold-out shows in Edinburgh and Dublin, before ending on three spectacular sold-out shows at London’s Wembley Stadium as part of the Forever Tour.

Last year saw the release of FOREVER (Legendary Edition), which reimagines songs from the band’s FOREVER album alongside an impressive line-up of collaborators, including Bruce Springsteen, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Jason Isbell, Carín León, Joe Elliott, Robbie Williams and Avril Lavigne.

Jim King, CEO of AEG Presents UK and European Festivals: “Bon Jovi helped launch BST Hyde Park in 2013, and it’s a pleasure to welcome them back. 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.”

More names for the 2027 edition of BST Hyde Park will be announced soon, following a record-breaking 2026 season featuring Garth Brooks, ATEEZ, Maroon 5, Mumford & Sons, Duran Duran, Pitbull and Lewis Capaldi.
