LEWIS CAPALDI ANNOUNCES MONUMENTAL TWO-NIGHT TAKEOVER AT BST HYDE PARK 2026
American Express presents BST Hyde Park is delighted to confirm that the UK’s most beloved singer-songwriter, Lewis Capaldi, will headline the Great Oak Stage for two extraordinary nights on Saturday 11 July and Sunday 12 July 2026. Following an unprecedented demand for tickets that saw the first date sell out in record time, the Scottish superstar is set to deliver his biggest ever solo headline performances in the capital, marking a triumphant and deeply emotional return to the live stage.
The festival has also unveiled a stellar supporting cast that reflects Capaldi’s own eclectic musical taste and his commitment to championing new talent. Saturday’s sold-out show will feature indie-rock mainstays The Vaccines alongside rising stars Nieve Ella and Tyler Ballgame, while Sunday’s newly added date welcomes alt-pop sensation Alessi Rose and cinematic songwriter Alexandra Savior. Both nights will also see high-profile appearances from global pop standout Conan Gray and Scottish breakthrough artist Jacob Alon, creating a lineup that balances high-energy anthems with the intimate storytelling Capaldi is known for.
This 2026 headline slot follows a historic period for the Glasgow-born artist, whose recent single "Survive" became the fastest-selling UK release of 2025. With six UK Number One singles to his name, Capaldi now sits in the elite company of legends like Queen and Beyoncé in the record books. His appearance at Hyde Park comes off the back of a sold-out UK arena run and a surprise, heart-wrenching set at Glastonbury, solidifying his status as a defining voice of his generation. Fans can expect a career-spanning setlist featuring "Someone You Loved," "Before You Go," and "Forget Me," delivered with his trademark wit and powerhouse vocals.
Jim King, CEO of AEG Presents, said: ‘‘Announcing Lewis Capaldi as a BST Hyde Park headliner for 2026 feels absolutely perfect. He is fast becoming a legend for a new generation and will take his place comfortably among the great BST headliners. We had a glimpse of the magic when he joined Noah Kahan on stage this year, but this will be the true comeback that everyone has been waiting for, and we are so proud to host it.’'
Beyond the music, the events will feature the full BST Hyde Park experience, including the legendary hospitality of the American Express VIP Summer Garden and a curated selection of London's finest street food and artisan bars. While Saturday is officially sold out, a limited number of tickets and VIP packages remain for the Sunday performance. Fans are advised to act quickly to be part of what is expected to be the most talked-about weekend of the 2026 summer season.
