American Express presents BST Hyde Park has announced its first headliner for next year: Bon Jovi.
The Grammy award-winning, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band will play a UK exclusive show on Thursday, 27 June 2027. It will mark 14 years after the group headlined the festival’s inaugural edition in 2013.
The news comes off the back of Bon Jovi returning 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, and a three-night, sold-out run at London’s Wembley Stadium as part of the Forever Tour.

Jim King, CEO of AEG Presents UK and European festivals, said: “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.”
Jon Bon Jovi added: “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.
“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.”
Tickets for the show go on general sale on October 23 at 10am BST.
