American Express presents BST Hyde Park has become one of London’s defining summer fixtures, transforming the park into a run of major headline shows across late June and early July. Each date functions as its own event, with full‑scale production, food and activity zones, and a relaxed city‑centre setting that avoids the usual festival logistics. The 2026 season is one of the most varied yet, bringing together global stars across pop, rock, country and dance.
The confirmed headliners for 2026 include Garth Brooks (27th June), Maroon 5 with OneRepublic, Jess Glynne and Ella Eyre (3rd July), Mumford & Sons (4th July), Duran Duran with Scissor Sisters (5th July), Pitbull with Kesha (10th July), and a two‑night run from Lewis Capaldi with guests including Conan Gray and The Vaccines (11th–12th July). It is a line‑up built around scale and broad appeal, with each show drawing its own dedicated audience.
Sitting proudly among these names is ATEEZ, headlining on Sunday 28th June for a UK‑exclusive Hyde Park performance. BST describes it as “one of the world’s most iconic groups taking to one of the world’s most iconic stages”, and the eight‑member act — Kim Hongjoong, Park Seonghwa, Jeong Yunho, Kang Yeosang, Choi San, Song Mingi, Jung Wooyoung and Choi Jongho — arrive with a global reputation built at remarkable speed. Hailing from KQ Entertainment, ATEEZ distinguished itself early as one of K‑Pop’s leading acts, selling out a global tour just four months after the 2018 debut. In terms of artistic identity, it is defined by interconnected storytelling across the Treasure, Fever, The World and Golden Hour album series, giving live shows a narrative weight that sets them apart.
Known for high‑intensity choreography, theatrical staging and precision‑driven performances, ATEEZ is a natural fit for the Great Oak Stage. The expansive layout gives the show room to breathe, while BST’s polished production should amplify the dramatic style in a way few outdoor venues can match. The group’s appearance is set to draw a huge turnout from ATINY (the name for ATEEZ’s global fanbase – the term blends “ATEEZ” and “destiny”, reflecting the close relationship between the group and their supporters, who are known for their passion, organisation and unified energy at live shows). The ATINY are known for passion, organisation, and loud, unified energy at live shows, and their presence is likely to transform Hyde Park into one of the most vibrant crowds of the entire BST season.
With the full line‑up for the day still to be announced, ATEEZ already stands out as one of the most anticipated moments of the 2026 programme. For existing fans, this is a rare chance to see the group take over one of London’s most recognisable outdoor stages. For newcomers, it is an accessible entry point into K‑Pop performance culture — an ambitious, story‑driven live show delivered in a setting designed for comfort, clarity and spectacle.
With the 2026 season already shaping up to be one of BST’s most eclectic and exciting, ATEEZ’s appearance stands out as a major moment for international pop in the UK calendar. Tickets are now on general sale via the official website.
