BST Hyde Park 2025: Behind-the-scenes photos show set up for epic London festival

With a star-studded line-up that includes the likes of Stevie Wonder, Olivia Rodrigo, and Sabrina Carpenter, BST is shaping up to be the unmissable event of 2025.

Huge stars will once again take to the Great Oak Stage for a series of epic performances at Hyde Park in London.

British Summer Time at Hyde Park kicks off this Friday (June 27th) with a sell-out gig from pop-princess Olivia Rodrigo.

The fun will continue over the weekend as country singer Zach Bryan takes to the stage on Saturday (28th) and Sunday night (29th).

The festival will then run across various weekends throughout July.

Today (26th June), we were invited for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the festival set-up.

The iconic green BST letters were rearranged to BTS for the media first look. So we donned our hi-vis jackets and went on a tour of the festival grounds.

Hyde Park was buzzing with people unloading gear for tomorrow night’s gig. We spied people chopping wood for buildings and lots of lorries zooming around the site.

Pop-ups from Lidl and Superdrug are new additions for 2025, which stand alongside many food and drink stalls and eateries, including a pop-up Flat Iron restaurant and Peroni bar.

There were also fairground rides, including a magical carousel. Several stages are already set up, including the Great Oak stage where legends including Neil Young and Jeff Lynn’s ELO will perform this summer.

It was all systems ‘go, go, go’ in Hyde Park this morning as stewards and staff rallied around to get Hyde Park ship shape and Rodrigo-ready for tomorrow night.
