Frontman Jon Bon Jovi expressed his excitement about returning to the capital, describing the booking as a full-circle moment. He noted that returning to Hyde Park allows the group to bring back the incredible energy shared with UK audiences during their recent live runs, celebrating their storied history alongside the fans who have supported them across the decades.
The announcement caps off a massive period for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees following their Forever Tour. The run featured nine sold-out dates at New York’s Madison Square Garden, packed stadium performances in Edinburgh and Dublin, and three sold-out nights at Wembley Stadium in London. Their recent momentum also follows the release of FOREVER (Legendary Edition), which reimagined their latest studio work alongside a star-studded roster of guest collaborators including Bruce Springsteen, Robbie Williams, Jelly Roll, and Lainey Wilson.
Jim King, CEO of AEG Presents UK and European Festivals, welcomed the return of the legendary group, highlighting their timeless catalog of anthems and enduring global appeal. Bon Jovi’s landmark 2013 performance set the standard for BST Hyde Park, which has since grown into one of London’s premier summer music events, hosting global superstars across its central London stages.
Tickets for the 2027 show go on general sale on Friday 23 October at 10am BST via the official festival website, with presales taking place throughout the week. Further supporting acts and additional headliners for the 2027 lineup will be revealed in the coming months.
