Bon Jovi will headline American Express presents BST Hyde Park on Thursday 24 June 2027, returning to London’s Hyde Park for a UK-exclusive performance 14 years after playing the festival’s inaugural event in 2013. The announcement confirms the American rock band as the first headliners for the 2027 edition of the London summer concert series.
Led by frontman Jon Bon Jovi, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees will return to the capital following a run of major live shows in the UK, Ireland and the United States. Tickets are scheduled to go on general sale on Friday 23 October at 10am BST, with presales taking place earlier in the week.
Bon Jovi return to BST Hyde Park after 14 years
Bon Jovi’s return brings the band back to the festival where they performed at the inaugural BST Hyde Park event in 2013. Since then, the annual concert series has established itself as a major fixture in London’s summer live music calendar, hosting international artists across its Hyde Park stages.
The 2027 performance is billed as a UK exclusive, giving British fans the announced opportunity to see the band at the London event.
Jon Bon Jovi welcomed the return, describing it as a full-circle moment and reflecting on the group’s relationship with UK audiences. The performance will celebrate the band’s extensive catalogue and the fans who have supported them throughout their career.
Recent touring success across the UK and US
The announcement follows a substantial period of live activity for Bon Jovi. The band’s recent touring run included nine sold-out dates at Madison Square Garden in New York, stadium performances in Edinburgh and Dublin, and three sold-out nights at Wembley Stadium in London.
Those shows reinforced the group’s continued presence on major concert stages, with a catalogue that includes established rock anthems spanning several decades.
Their latest chapter also includes FOREVER (Legendary Edition), a reimagined version of their FOREVER album featuring guest contributions from artists including Bruce Springsteen, Robbie Williams, Jelly Roll and Lainey Wilson.
The project brings Bon Jovi’s music together with a varied group of collaborators, connecting the band’s established sound with artists from different parts of the contemporary music scene.
