American Express presents BST Hyde Park announces its latest 2025 headliner, with 3X GRAMMY® Award-winning singer songwriter Olivia Rodrigo gracing the famous Great Oak Stage on Friday 27 June. She will be joined by special guests The Last Dinner Party and girl in red, with more names still to come. Tickets go on general sale at 9am GMT on Friday 15 November.
Less than four years since Olivia Rodrigo emerged to critical acclaim as a solo artist with the single ‘drivers license’, she has since become one of the most successful recording artists in the world. Amassing over 3.8 billion streams with her debut hit, tracks ‘good 4 u’ and ‘vampire’ followed suit – those three Billboard Number One singles made Rodrigo the youngest artist in history to debut three No.1 hits in Hot 100 history.
In 2023 she followed up the 4x platinum-selling debut album SOUR (2021) with GUTS, produced by and co-written with Daniel Nigro, showcasing a “sincere songwriter who captures the viewpoint of a teen outsider to perfection” (The Guardian). The Grammy-nominated record was praised as an “instant classic” by Rolling Stone and debuted at No 1 on the Billboard 200. GUTS topped the album charts in more than 13 countries, including the UK.
Beyond the record, the massively successful GUTS World Tour saw Rodrigo fill London’s O2 across four nights. The show was fêted by the press for its authenticity and for a punkier edge – “Quite possibly 2024’s most fun tour,” said NME, while Rolling Stone said, “Rodrigo cemented her position in pop culture as a generation-defining artist. As a rockstar.” Variety noted, “It’s a rock ‘n’ roll show, by the way — maybe the best rock tour we’ll get all year…”
In 2022, Rodrigo played the Other Stage at Glastonbury, but her headline slot at BST Hyde Park 2025 promises to send her live reputation sky high with her biggest UK show to date.
Joining Rodrigo at London’s favourite festival are special guests The Last Dinner Party. BRIT Rising Star and BBC Sound of 2024 winners, The Last Dinner Party took the music industry by storm with debut single ‘Nothing Matters’ before their debut album, Prelude to Ecstasy, hit No.1 in the UK Charts in February 2024.
Plus, girl in red, the indie pop music project of Norwegian singer-songwriter and record producer Marie Ulven Ringheim. Cited a ‘queer icon’ by Paper magazine, girl in red gained popularity with tracks ‘we fell in love in october’ and ‘bad idea’, with her eagerly anticipated sophomore album I’M DOING IT AGAIN BABY! released in April of this year.
