AMERICAN EXPRESS PRESENTS
BST HYDE PARK
American Express presents BST Hyde
Park have announced the latest headliner
for 2026; global sensations Maroon 5 will
make their Hyde Park debut on Friday
3 July. Over the past three decades,
Maroon 5 have become one of the
defining pop bands of their generation,
fronted by charismatic lead singer Adam
Levine. Their breakthrough came with
2002’s Songs About Jane, which took off
when ‘This Love’ hit the Top 5 in 2004,
followed by hits like ‘She Will Be Loved’
and ‘Sunday Morning.’ The band’s followup album It Won’t Be Soon Before Long
went multi-platinum, propelled by the
chart-topping ‘Makes Me Wonder.’ Over
the years, they have collaborated with
major names including Christina Aguilera
on the globally adored 2011 number one
‘Moves Like Jagger,’ as well as Cardi B,
Megan Thee Stallion, Kendrick Lamar,
Future and many more. Joining them are
former collaborators, the GRAMMY®
nominated OneRepublic.
Mumford & Sons will also return to
London’s Hyde Park, marking a decade
since the band’s last appearance on the
Great Oak Stage. For the West Londonformed quartet, the performance
represents a symbolic homecoming to the
park that has long been central to their
story. Joining them as special guest will
be The War on Drugs.
Since emerging in 2008, Mumford &
Sons have risen from the capital’s
grassroots scene to global prominence,
headlining major festivals, topping
international charts, and collaborating
with artists including Bob Dylan, Bruce
Springsteen, and Neil Young. Their
forthcoming album, Prizefighter, produced
by Aaron Dessner, follows 2025’s UK
No. 1 record RUSHMERE, which powered
a sold-out arena tour.
The 2026 season will also feature
Garth Brooks, Pitbull, and Lewis Capaldi,
reinforcing the festival’s tradition of
pairing global icons with the capital’s
most historic outdoor stage.
