Olivia Rodrigo set to headline London’s BST Hyde Park 2025

Olivia Rodrigo is set to headline American Express presents BST Hyde Park.

The ‘Good 4 U’ hitmaker will top the bill on the Great Oak Stage at the London landmark on June 27, 2025.

Indie rockers The Last Dinner Party and alt-pop star girl in red – whose real name is Marie Ulven Ringheim – will be among the artists taking to the stage before the 21-year-old pop superstar’s headline slot, with more acts set to be added to the bill in due course.

Having already dazzled festivalgoers at Glastonbury and rave reviews for her ‘Guts World Tour’, Olivia’s showstopping set is not to be missed.

The ‘Vampire’ hitmaker’s addition to the stacked line-up comes after Hollywood star Hugh Jackman was confirmed to perform at BST.

The 56-year-old actor will be performing musical theatre classics, accompanied by a live orchestra, at the festival on July 6.

The show – which is being called ‘From London with Love’ – will see Hugh perform songs from a variety of well-known musicals, including ‘The Boy From Oz’, ‘The Greatest Showman’, and ‘Les Miserables’.

The Marvel star – who starred in the Tom Hooper-directed film adaptation of ‘Les Miserables’ in 2012 – has also promised to produce a few surprises for his fans.

The actor has enjoyed a hugely successful career in Hollywood, starring as Wolverine in the ‘X-Men’ film franchise.

However, Hugh has also starred in various theatre productions over the years, including playing Gaston in ‘Beauty and the Beast’ in 1995 and Joe Gillis in ‘Sunset Boulevard’ in 1996.

In 2004, he won a Tony Award for his performance as Peter Allen in ‘The Boy from Oz’. And between 2021 and 2023, Hugh played the part of Harold Hill in the Broadway revival of ‘The Music Man’.

Other headliners for BST 2025 include Jeff Lynne’s ELO, Noah Kahan and Zach Bryan.

Tickets for Olivia go on general sale at 9am GMT on Friday (15.11.24). For more information head to www.bst-hydepark.com.
