BON JOVI TO HEADLINE BST HYDE PARK IN 2027

Bon Jovi will headline BST Hyde Park on Thursday 24 June 2027, becoming the first act announced for that year’s festival. The London performance will form part of the band’s Forever Tour. Jon Bon Jovi called the return “a full circle moment”. Tickets are due to go on sale at 10am BST on Friday 23 October.

Bon Jovi headlined the first BST Hyde Park show in 2013. Their set included ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’, ‘You Give Love a Bad Name’ and ‘It’s My Life’. Jon Bon Jovi said the band had also performed at Hyde Park on earlier tours. The Forever Tour has included nine sold-out nights at New York’s Madison Square Garden, three at London’s Wembley Stadium, and sold-out dates in Edinburgh and Dublin. Jon Bon Jovi said the band wanted to bring the energy it shared with UK audiences this summer back to Hyde Park.

The announcement follows the release of ‘FOREVER (Legendary Edition)’, which revisits songs from Bon Jovi’s 2024 album ‘FOREVER’ with guest performers. Those guests include Bruce Springsteen, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll and Jason Isbell. Carín León, Joe Elliott, Robbie Williams and Avril Lavigne also appear on the release. Jim King, CEO of AEG Presents, welcomed the band’s return and said Bon Jovi had helped launch BST Hyde Park in 2013. Bon Jovi remains the only headliner announced for the festival’s 2027 edition.
