American Express presents BST Hyde Park 2023 with its latest edition of the star-studded lineup of artists you want to experience this Summer. British Summer Time (BST) began hosting numerous music legends in 2013.

Set in London’s Hyde Park, this year’s event will be conducted from June 24 – July 8, 2023.

BST Hyde Park 2023 BLACKPINK

The Twitter page sharing the official updates related to the event dealt out yet another sweet news flash today upon announcing BLACKPINK’s UK festival debut at Hyde Park this year. The South Korean four-member (Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa) girl group formed by YG Entertainment is set to appear on July 2, 2023.

As the ten-day show keeps getting better and better, they’re now part of the list of the first wave of artists joining the show. Sabrina Carpenter, Caity Baser, Mae Stephens and the South Korean indie-rock band The Rose are other special guests slated to perform that day. More artists are yet to be announced.

Other shows include headliners like P!NK (June 24-25), Guns N’ Roses (June 30), TAKE THAT (July 1), Billy Joel (July 7), and Bruce Springsteen will be making his BST debut as well with the E Street Band joining him (July 6-8).

Jisoo’s debut solo coming out at the end of this month.

If you plan to head to London to attend the extravaganza, here are some rules you need to remember: Any re-admission is prohibited at the event. Once you make it inside, that’s it; BST Hyde Park is a fully standing event, and attendees aren’t permitted to bring in any seats and chairs (even inflatable seats don’t make the cut); Outside food or drinks aren’t allowed inside, but empty water bottles can be brought in and be refilled at the free refill points situated all across the arena; If you’re bringing any flags or banners to the arena, they can’t have any poles on them.
