BST HYDE PARK: 530K TICKETS SOLD

Build it and they will come. The Brits might not get the baseball reference from Field of Dreams, but they certainly understand the sentiment as the biggest BST Hyde Park festival ever sold more than half a million tickets.

AEG Presents’ British Summer Time Hyde Park—nine shows over three weekends with venue capacity of 65,000, which this year featured Adele, the Eagles, The Rolling Stones, Pearl Jam and others—sold 530k tickets. Another 170k people attended BST Open House, the free program of events between the weekends. This was the first BST Hyde Park since 2019.

“Like everyone in the festival business and across live music we are so happy to be back doing what we love and seeing music fans experiencing these great shows,” said AEG European Festivals CEO Jim King. “The caliber of artists we've had at Hyde Park was incredible, with so many outstanding performances. The demand for tickets was huge, and we are very proud to have sold out the series.”

Next year’s shows—the 10th anniversary of the festival—are already being planned.
