First UK Show In Almost 30 Years: Garth Brooks To Headline BST Hyde Park

American country icon Garth Brooks is going to headline American Express presents BST Hyde Park 2026, gracing the famous Great Oak Stage on Saturday, June 27.

It marks the first UK performance of the mega star, who paved the way for country music globally, in almost 30 years.

It also marks the second major country booking by AEG Presents for its flagship London festival, after Zach Bryan played BST Hyde Park two nights in a row this year, June 28-29.

While Garth Brooks hasn’t performed in the UK over the last three decades, he came close. In 2022, as part of his global stadium run, he performed five nights at Croke Park Stadium in Dublin, Ireland, grossing $28,654,439 on 401,000 total tickets, according to Pollstar Boxoffice reports.

Brooks performed a Las Vegas residency over the past couple of years, which came to an end last March. It was recently announced that he will kick off Milwaukee’s Summerfest in 2026.

He’s also the first-ever inductee into the Live Hall of Fame, which launched during Pollstar Live! 2018. Garth Brooks is managed by Bob Doyle & Associates, and repped by WME.
