British Summer Time

Every summer, London's Hyde Park turns into a world-class stage. The British Summer Time Hyde Park (BST) festival brings together tens of thousands of music fans to hear live performances by world-class headliners. There is something for everyone, with a wide range of genres and artists on offer. People actively participate and enjoy the fun atmosphere, where a friendly and warm atmosphere reigns. You can see famous rock legends, pop stars and other artists, sometimes even unexpected and unplanned. The event leaves room for pleasant surprises and gifts. It is not just a concert, but a real cultural event with its own special and unique atmosphere, carefully thought-out logistics and many amenities for guests.

What is BST Hyde Park?

British Summer Time 2025 is a series of open-air concerts that have been held annually in the heart of London since 2013. Over the course of 14 years of regular operation, the festival has hosted artists such as The Rolling Stones, Taylor Swift, Adele, Elton John and Bruce Springsteen.

BST is not just a spectacular music show for the general public. It is a comfortable experience for people of all ages. Every detail of the event has been carefully thought out with a convenient infrastructure, making it completely safe and comfortable to be in any area of the venue. There is a high-quality entrance and additional services for American Express cardholders. This thoroughly planned atmosphere and cosiness make a visit a celebration not only for fans, but also for families, tourists and lovers of festival leisure.

BST 2025 line-up

The organisers traditionally keep the intrigue alive and reveal the headliners for each concert day and the exact times in stages. The 2025 schedule is expected to surprise once again with its combination of stage legends and fresh new names. Every hour of the show has already been carefully planned for each of the scheduled days.

Additional event dates and guest artists will be announced later. For now, you can check out the list that has already been provided and plan your visit.
