Bon Jovi Returns to BST Hyde Park After 14 Years, Headlining Again on June 24, 2027

Back in 2013, at the very first BST Hyde Park, Bon Jovi took the stage and ripped through "Livin' on a Prayer," "You Give Love a Bad Name," and "It's My Life," setting the bar for what would become London's iconic summer festival series. Fourteen years on, they're coming back — this time on Thursday, June 24, 2027, once again as headliners.

This homecoming slots into the extended run of Bon Jovi's ongoing "Forever Tour." The tour has already racked up nine sold-out nights at Madison Square Garden in New York, sold-out shows in Edinburgh and Dublin, and three sold-out dates at London's Wembley Stadium. Tickets go on sale this Friday, October 23, at 10am UK time.

Frontman Jon Bon Jovi put it plainly: "We have a deep history of performing at Hyde Park, and coming back here now, 14 years after headlining the very first edition, feels like things have come full circle." He also pointed to the energy he felt from UK audiences during this summer's tour, adding, "We can't wait to make more memories together."

The "Forever Tour" also marks Jon Bon Jovi's return to large-scale touring following major vocal cord surgery in 2022. He confirmed back in June that he's now "fully recovered." The tour name nods to the band's 2024 album Forever, and they've since released FOREVER (Legendary Edition), featuring reinterpretations of tracks from the album with Bruce Springsteen, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Jason Isbell, Carín León, Joe Elliott, Robbie Williams, and Avril Lavigne.

AEG Presents CEO Jim King said: "Bon Jovi helped bring BST Hyde Park to life back in 2013, and we're thrilled to welcome them back. They're one of the most iconic rock bands of their generation, and their live shows still pack as much power as ever."

More names will be added to the BST Hyde Park 2027 lineup in the coming weeks. This year's lineup includes Garth Brooks, ATEEZ, Maroon 5, Mumford & Sons, Duran Duran, Pitbull, and Lewis Capaldi.
