The rock giants are set to take to the stage on Thursday June 24, and are the first confirmed headliners to be announced for the 2027 instalment of the iconic series of outdoor shows at the UK capital.
The slot comes after Jon Bon Jovi and co. headlined the festival’s inaugural show back in 2013 – opening the stage with classics including ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’, ‘You Give Love a Bad Name’ and ‘It’s My Life’.
Now, they are set to return to BST Hyde Park, playing as an extension of their ‘Forever Tour’. Already as part of the shows, they have held nine sold-out nights at New York’s Madison Square Garden, as well as sold-out dates in Edinburgh and Dublin, and three sold-out stops at London’s Wembley Stadium.
Tickets go on sale on Friday (October 23) at 10am BST. Visit here for tickets and more information.
The dates come on the heels of the band releasing ‘FOREVER (Legendary Edition)’, which reimagines songs from their 2024 ‘FOREVER’ album alongside guests including Bruce Springsteen, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Jason Isbell, Carín León, Joe Elliott, Robbie Williams and Avril Lavigne.
“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,” Jon Bon Jovi said.
“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.”
