US rock band Bon Jovi has been announced as the first headliner for BST Hyde Park 2027 at London’s Hyde Park.
The outlets report that the band returns to the festival for the first time since 2013, when it helped open the inaugural BST Hyde Park. The announcement is framed by the band as a “full circle moment,” referring to the fact that it is returning 14 years after headlining the first edition of the event.
While the sources agree on Bon Jovi’s status as the first confirmed headliner and the significance of the earlier 2013 appearance, they differ slightly in emphasis: some focus on the timing of the return, while others highlight the band’s own description of returning to the festival after more than a decade. The announcement marks an early stage in BST Hyde Park 2027’s lineup reveal.
