Country titan Garth Brooks is in London this weekend for his first live show on UK soil in nearly 30 years. The best-selling solo artist in US history hasn’t performed live here since 1998, but he’ll end that drought with a huge show at BST Hyde Park on Saturday.
Brooks is opening the 2026 edition of BST, which will later be headlined by ATEEZ, Maroon 5, Mumford and Sons, Duran Duran, Pitbull and Lewis Capaldi. He joins a solid run of huge country headliners at BST in recent years, including Zach Bryan, Shania Twain and Morgan Wallen.
Can’t wait to hear ‘Friends in Low Places’ live on the Great Oak Stage? Here’s all the essential information you need to know about Garth Brooks’ date in Hyde Park.
