If you wandered into central London expecting a quiet Sunday stroll, the sheer volume of glowing lightsticks and pirate-themed energy probably gave you whiplash. History was officially made in the sunshine as South Korean powerhouse ATEEZ took over the iconic Great Oak Stage, becoming only the third K-pop act to headline British Summer Time. Following stellar warm-up sets from SHINee’s Taemin, pop sensation Bazzi, R&B trio FLO and breakout pop-rock four-piece Midnight Til Morning, the eight-member powerhouse certainly turned the Royal Park into a roaring sea of lightsticks, pyrotechnics, and pure, unadulterated theatricality in true K-Pop fashion.

The Somerset House Summer Series returns once again, set in the Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court at the heart of the iconic Neoclassical building. This open-air concert series has become a staple for showcasing both rising talents and acclaimed artists from the UK and around the world.
