American Express presents BST Hyde Park have announced that double Grammy-winner, pop powerhouse Sabrina Carpenter will headline a second huge night at Hyde Park on Sunday 6 July, following her sold-out show on Saturday 5 July. She will be joined by special guests Clairo and Olivia Dean, with the full line-up still to be announced. Tickets go on general sale at 10am GMT on Monday 24 February.

Two-time Grammy award winner Sabrina Carpenter has enchanted an audience of millions as a singer, songwriter, actress and style icon. With her music, she has delivered one anthem after another on stage and in the studio, earning multiple gold and multi-platinum certifications, and performing to sold out crowds around the world. On screen, she has generated mega-fandom through starring roles on television and film.

She is signed to Island Records, with which she debuted her acclaimed Gold-certified fifth studio album, emails i can’t send, which appeared on many “best Of 2022” lists including Rolling Stone and Billboard. The album features her hit single ‘Feather’ which went #1 at Top 40 Radio, earning Sabrina her first #1.

Her sold out emails i can’t send tour took her to North America, Europe, Asia and Brazil, and she recently served as direct support for Taylor Swift in Latin America, Australia and Singapore on the Eras Tour.

Ahead of her Coachella debut, she released her single ‘Espresso’ which quickly climbed the charts. On its release, Pitchfork declared ‘Espresso’ as ‘in pole position to be this year’s song of the summer’, and The New York Times heralded the single as the song ready to “propel her to the next level”.

Since its release in April 2024, ‘Espresso’ has gone on to reach #1 on the UK & Australian singles charts, Top 5 in the US, and #1 on Spotify globally, where it reached over 200M streams within its first month. Her second single, ‘Please Please Please’, was released in June and shot straight up to the top of the charts. The single hit #1 on Spotify’s Global and US charts, #1 on Apple Music and debuted at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 before claiming the #1 spot a week later and went #1 at US Pop Radio.

In August, Sabrina released her highly anticipated sixth studio album, Short n’ Sweet. The album received critical acclaim from the likes of the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Variety and many more. The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, making it the 3rd biggest first-week debut in the US in 2024, and became only the second album that year to spend its first three weeks atop the list. Short n’ Sweet also topped the charts around the world, including in the UK. The album earned Sabrina six Grammy nominations as a first-time nominee. Short n’ Sweet took home the Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album and Sabrina also won the Best Pop Solo Performance Grammy Award for ‘Espresso’. She made her debut at the 67th Grammy Awards with a captivating performance of ‘Espresso/Please Please Please’.

Joining Sabrina Carpenter at London’s BST Hyde Park is special guest, American indie luminary Clairo. Named NME’s Best New Act in the World in 2020, Clairo earned her first No.1 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 in August 2024, with her song ‘Juna’ off of her third studio album, Charm. Pitchfork described the singer’s soft-rock album as “a lush, rich production”, giving it an impressive 7.5 rating. The American singer-songwriter also gained popularity with her cult debut album single ‘Bags’ and TikTok viral hit ‘Flaming Hot Cheetos’, which has amassed over 452 million streams on Spotify.
East London singer-songwriter Olivia Dean first gained attention with her debut EP Growth in 2020, but it was her debut album Messy (2023) that truly solidified her place in the UK music scene. The album received critical acclaim for its raw honesty, blending elements of pop, R&B, and soul while exploring themes of vulnerability, self-discovery and personal relationships. Dean’s powerful voice and heartfelt songwriting have earned her a loyal fanbase and she’s one of the most exciting and authentic talents in contemporary British music.

BST Hyde Park’s headliners for 2025 are: Olivia Rodrigo (27 June), Zach Bryan (28 + 29 June), Noah Kahan (4 July), Sabrina Carpenter (5 + 6 July) and Jeff Lynne’s ELO (13 July). Expect more incredible announcements soon for the 2025 edition of the UK’s most anticipated summer event.

BST Hyde Park again brought a hugely diverse range of superstars to the Royal Park in 2024 across three weekends – SZA to Kings of Leon, Morgan Wallen, Andrea Bocelli, Robbie Williams, Shania Twain, Stevie Nicks, Kylie Minogue and Stray Kids.

With a catalogue including the timeless classics “It’s Not Unusual,” “What’s New Pussycat?” “Delilah” alongside his hugely acclaimed work over the last decade, his repertoire truly spans genres and generations.

Sarah Drabwell, General Manager, Sandown Park Racecourse, said

TOM JONES joins the line-up alongside TEXAS, who will headline on Thursday 7th August.

K-pop entertainment giant SM Entertainment, in collaboration with FRONTROW, is bringing SMTOWN LIVE 2025 to the UK for the very first time as part of its 30th anniversary celebrations.

The summer’s biggest K-pop event in Europe is taking place at London’s Allianz Stadium Twickenham on 28 June. The first wave of multi-million-selling stars announced for the line-up today are EXO’s SUHO and CHANYEOL, NCT DREAM, WayV, RIIZE and NCT WISH. Full line-up to be revealed soon!

SMTOWN LIVE 2025 is set to be the first K-pop concert held at the Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, which has hosted concerts for U2, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga.

This is the first time SM’s label-wide concert, SMTOWN LIVE, has been to Europe since 2010’s show in Paris. The trailblazing label is home to some of the planet’s biggest and most influential K-pop stars, including BoA, TVXQ!, SUPER JUNIOR, Girls’ Generation, SHINee, EXO, Red Velvet, NCT 127, NCT DREAM, WayV, aespa and RIIZE.

Tickets go on sale at the end of this month – more details to come.

Leading this first line-up announcement are SUHO and CHANYEOL of EXO, one of the most decorated K-pop groups in history. Over their monumental career, they became the first Korean act to surpass 10 million albums in the 21st Century and the first K-pop group in history to achieve five consecutive million-selling albums. As of January this year, their total equivalent album sales officially exceeded 35 million worldwide. Their most recent group release, 2023’s “Exist”, continued to break their own records, selling over 1 million copies on release day – a first for EXO and a notable feat for a group over a decade into their career.

NCT DREAM, a subgroup of SM Entertainment’s NCT behemoth, returns to London with SMTOWN LIVE just seven months after their headline show at OVO Arena Wembley as part of their massive 2024 world tour ‘THE DREAM SHOW 3: DREAM( )SCAPE’, which spanned 36 shows across Asia, South America, North America, and Europe. In between sold-out tour dates, they released their EP “DREAM( )SCAPE” and full-length album “DREAMSCAPE” in March and November last year respectively, with the former becoming Korea’s best-selling album of the year.

WayV, a six-member Chinese subgroup of NCT, also returns to London for the first time since their UK live debut in June 2023. Since then, they’ve released multiple critically acclaimed albums, including last year’s “FREQUENCY”, which broke their own week one sales records and earned them the historic title of the first non-Korean group to win a first-place award on a Korean music show.

RIIZE is a rising powerhouse among new K-pop boy groups, known for their fresh sound and captivating performances. They hit the scene in 2023 and immediately sold over 1 million copies of their debut album “RIIZING”; a year and a half on, they’ve surpassed 3 million monthly listeners on Spotify and show no signs of slowing. SMTOWN LIVE in London marks their first performance in Europe, heightening anticipation even more for this historic moment.

The newest boy group on SM Entertainment’s roster, NCT WISH – the final sub-group of NCT – similarly make their European debut at the London concert. Already named ‘Rookie of the Year’ at Korea’s Golden Disc Awards, they continue to make a name for themselves globally just a year after their debut, even earning a nomination in the iHeartRadio Music Awards’ ‘Best New Artist (K-pop)’ category.

The MOBO Awards just turned up the heat with the announcement of an electrifying second wave of performers, promising one of the most unforgettable nights in the UK music calendar.

MOBO’s long history of championing R&B continues, not only with a performance by Odeal but also with a one-of-a-kind R&B celebration, led by legendary tastemaker and KISS host DJ Ace and bringing together some of the most powerful voices in UK R&B on one stage. Jaz Karis, Nao, Sasha Keable, Shae Universe and UK R&B royalty Shola Ama will unite for a special performance honouring the genre’s rich legacy and future.

The 2025 MOBO Awards will see an explosive mix of genres and energy brought to the stage with performances from Darkoo, Nova Twins, DJ AG, Pozer and LeoStayTrill at Utilita Arena Newcastle on 18 February.
The Awards will be live-streamed to a global audience on YouTube at 8pm GMT, with an exclusive BBC One broadcast special airing on 21 February.

Odeal will be performing on a night when he is up for three awards: Best R&B/Soul Act Supported by KISS, Best Newcomer and Song of the Year for ‘Soh-Soh’. Pushing the boundaries of R&B, the complex Alté artist credits his genre-surfing musical style to a nomadic life growing up and his ability to cross cultures when he fuses afrobeats with rich and silky R&B vocals. He capped a series of releases in 2024 with the EP Lustropolis, which he described as “a world where I’m comfortable and defeated at the same time, going back to my old habits but also longing for the love that slipped out of my hands”.

The MOBO Awards R&B celebration, led by DJ Ace, will see some of the hottest voices – including three nominees for Best R&B/Soul Act supported by KISS – coming together on the MOBO Awards stage for the first time. Jaz Karis, took in her family’s Gospel, Soca and Soul influence to create her own unique blend of R&B, Soul, Amapiano and Afropop, dropping her debut album Safe Flight in September. Sasha Keable, a former Disclosure collaborator, is hotly tipped for 2025, touted as an ‘artist to watch’ by both Spotify and Amazon. Last year the unique Shaé Universe released the concept album Love’s Letter, exploring the ten messages love might send through life’s journey. The nominees will be joined by East Londoner NAO, who will release her new brand album, Jupiter, on 21st February – her first since 2021’s acclaimed And Then Life Was Beautiful. The lineup is completed by London R&B legend Shola Ama, who shot to fame in 1997 with the Top 5 hit ‘You Might Need Somebody’ and has enjoyed an illustrious career since she was overheard singing on a platform at Hammersmith Tube station at the age of 15.

MOBO has long-championed a breadth of music and the night will feature a performance from MOBO Award-nominated alternative mavericks Nova Twins – Amy Love and Georgia South – who are renowned for their electric live shows and even bigger tunes. The pair have won fans in icons from Tom Morello to Elton John, and this month unveiled the blistering new single ‘Monsters’, a statement of intent that combines roaring power with honest vulnerability, offering a glimpse of a boundary-pushing album to come.

Darkoo kicked off 2025 with her latest single, ‘Focus On Me (All The Sexy Girls In The Club)’, an infectious anthem packed with upbeat afrobeats vibes, and is nominated for Best Female Act In Association with got2b and Song Of The Year for ‘Favourite Girl’ featuring Dess Dior at the MOBO Awards 2025. After exploding onto the scene in late 2019 with the anthemic track ‘Gangsta’ featuring One Acen she has built up more than 4.5 million monthly listeners.

Renowned for his impromptu sets, spreading positivity on the streets of the capital, Tottenham native DJ AG was named Time Out’s Londoner Of The Year for 2024. He has been accompanied by some of the hottest MCs in the business, including Central Cee, Skepta, JME, Craig David, Jorja Smith, Tiwa Savage, Chipmunk, Baby Cham and Krept & Konan to name a few. In the past month, AG has amassed nearly 50 million views on Instagram and TikTok combined. Beyond the street shows and livestreams, he also performs in care homes, youth organisations, schools and rehabilitation centres, all so he can spread joy through music.

At the MOBO Awards ceremony, DJ AG will be joined by nominees in the Best Newcomer category, including Pozer, who broke through in 2024 with his huge single ‘Kitchen Stove’ and who is also nominated for Best Drill Act. Just a year into his career, the Croydon rapper boasts more than 105 million global streams across his short catalogue, catching the attention of and collaborating with industry heavyweights like Stormzy, AJ Tracey and Chase & Status as well as next-gen trailblazers like Nemzzz and Chy Cartier. Also joining DJ AG will be 18-year-old producer and rapper LeoStayTrill, who has a second nomination for Song Of The Year for the viral hit ‘Pink Lemonade’. In January he released the hypnotic and confident ‘Selena’. Boasting millions of monthly listeners on Spotify, more than 2.5 million TikTok video creations, 48 million likes on Tik Tok and over 100 million streams, in only a year, Leo has crashed onto the scene in a spectacular fashion.

MOBO Founder & CEO Kanya King CBE said: “MOBO has always been about shaping cultural moments that celebrate the richness and diversity of music, and this year will be no exception. Our R&B celebration promises to be a defining highlight, alongside an incredible showcase of genres on the MOBO stage. There’s something truly special about bringing these moments to life—experiences that fans can only witness at the MOBO Awards. We can’t wait to unveil even more surprises as we build up to February 18.”

This latest announcement follows the previously confirmed Spice, Krept & Konan, and Bashy, adding to a powerhouse lineup that represents the diverse and ever-evolving landscape of Black music, with the show being staged in Newcastle for the first time. Tickets are available at mobo.com/tickets.

The MOBO Awards announced the nominees across 20 categories for their 2025 edition. This year’s nominations spotlight the incredible breadth of talent across music, TV, and film. The British R&B scene takes center stage, with triple nominees Jorja Smith and Cleo Sol leading the charge in categories like Album of the Year and Best R&B/Soul Act supported by KISS. Central Cee, Ghetts, Sampha and Odeal join them with three nominations each, reflecting the unparalleled creativity driving the UK’s music scene.

Beyond music, the MOBO Awards continue to honour excellence in film and TV, with Netflix’s hit series Supacell and stars from BBC’s EastEnders earning nominations in the Best Performance in a TV Show/Film category. These nods highlight the richness of diverse storytelling and the exceptional talent shaping today’s entertainment industry.
This announcement also comes as part of the broader celebration surrounding the MOBO Awards, with the recently unveiled MOBO Fringe Festival program adding to the excitement. Running from February 13 to February 17, the five-day festival will showcase a spectacular range of events across Newcastle, celebrating music, arts, and culture while championing the city’s creative spirit. From intimate performances to community workshops, the MOBO Fringe offers something for everyone in the lead-up to the UK’s biggest night in Black music and culture.

The first three guest acts have been announced for a historic show this summer as Jeff Lynne’s ELO take to the Great Oak Stage at American Express presents BST Hyde Park for their final ever performance. They will be joined on Sunday 13 July by Californian rock legends The Doobie Brothers, iconic songwriter and guitarist Steve Winwood and composer and songwriter Dhani Harrison.

Tickets have already sold out for the show which will see one of Britain’s best-loved bands put on a spectacular finale for Jeff Lynne’s ELO, which was founded 55 years ago in Birmingham.

“My return to touring began at Hyde Park in 2014”, explains Jeff Lynne. “It seems like the perfect place to do our final show. We couldn’t be more excited to share this special night in London with our UK fans. As the song goes, ‘we’re gonna do it One More Time!’”

The Doobie Brothers (Patrick Simmons, Tom Johnston, John McFee and Michael McDonald) will bring good-times rock and roll to Hyde Park with instantly recognisable hits including ‘Takin’ It to the Streets’, ‘What a Fool Believes’, ‘Listen to the Music’, ‘Black Water’ and ‘China Grove’.

Born out of Northern California’s chaotic, late-1960s musical stew, The Doobie Brothers’ rugged and authentic approach to music made them biker bar stalwarts. But their self-titled debut album in ’71 went beyond just leather and motorcycles, revealing even more musical layers; sweet three-part harmonies and rootsy, introspective, acoustic flavours. Their legacy has been built upon not just hit records, but also an unrivaled commitment to musical integrity and a steadfast allegiance to their enthusiastic fan base.
The Doobie Brothers, who will be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2025 and were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2020 and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2004, have won four Grammy Awards and sold more than 48 million records worldwide (including three multi-platinum, seven platinum, and 14 gold albums). Their 1976 Best of the Doobies has sold more than 12 million copies, earning rare RIAA Diamond status. The Doobie Brothers will release new studio album WALK THIS ROAD in June.

Singer-songwriter, legendary vocalist, guitarist, keyboardist, producer, Grammy winner and BMI Icon Steve Winwood has sold more than 50 million records in the course of his five-decade career. His compositions include ‘Gimme Some Lovin’’, ‘Back In The High Life Again’, ‘Can’t Find My Way Home’ and ‘Arc Of A Diver’.

After bursting to prominence in 1963, at the age of 15, with the Spencer Davis Group, he co-founded Traffic, as well as Blind Faith with Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker. As a session player throughout his career he has contributed to landmark recordings by Jimi Hendrix (Voodoo Chile), The Who (Tommy), James Brown (Gravity), George Harrison (Dark Horse, George Harrison), Tina Turner (Break Every Rule), Billy Joel (The Bridge), Christina Aguilera (Back To Basics), Paul Weller (Stanley Road) and many, many more.

Winwood is a recipient of the Ivor Novello Outstanding Song Collection, the BMI Icon Award, the Musicians Union Classic Rock Award, The Nashville Symphony Harmony Award, and has been nominated for 11 Grammys, winning two. Traffic were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2004, and the following year, Steve was honored for his “enduring influence on generations of music makers” by BMI.

Among countless memorable London performances, he played at the Golden Jubilee commemoration of Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace in 2002.

Multi-Grammy Award-winning musician, composer, and artist Dhani Harrison has enjoyed a career spanning the musical spectrum.

Harrison released his debut album, IN///PARALLEL, in 2017 and was dubbed by Rolling Stone as a “psychedelia-tinged journey into modern-day disconnect”. His second solo album, INNERSTANDING, followed in 2023, featuring collaborations with the likes of Graham Coxon (Blur), Liela Moss (The Duke Spirit) and Mereki. MOJO magazine lauded the album in its review, reporting: “INNERSTANDING finds Harrison marking out his own territory, sustaining a brooding musical atmosphere and filling it with sterling melodies.” With Spill saying: “Harrison has definitely created a masterpiece with this album. INNERSTANDING is brilliant, from the stark front sleeve to the sounds found on the record.”

Jeff Lynne’s ELO
Recognised as one of the most iconic forces in music history, in recent years Jeff Lynne’s ELO has delivered a critically acclaimed and chart-topping album along with a sold out run of UK and European shows. Jeff Lynne was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2023 and the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017.
Jeff Lynne’s ELO are famous for their epic shows and with a distinct style that seamlessly and innovatively blends rock, pop and classical – proven most recently as the band approach the end of their hugely successful stint in North America. ELO has had more than 20 Top 40 Hits across the US and the UK, making Lynne’s sweeping productions some of the most recognisable music of the last forty years and helping sell over 50 million records worldwide.
Their signature UFO descending on the stage and spectacular production immerses audiences in their world, with string sections, cutting edge technology and an array of musicians faithfully recreating ELO’s incredible recordings. Global hits like ‘Mr. Blue Sky’, ‘Don’t Bring Me Down’, ‘Evil Woman’, ‘Livin Thing’ ‘Turn To Stone’ and ‘Telephone Line’ travelled the world, fusing classical with electronic and rock.
Lynne was a co-founder and member of The Travelling Wilburys together with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty, as well as a producer and collaborator with some of the biggest names in music including The Beatles, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Joe Walsh and Bryan Adams.
