American Express presents BST Hyde Park announces its next 2025 headliner, the renowned, x6 GRAMMY-nominated pop powerhouse Sabrina Carpenter will be headlining in Hyde Park on Saturday 5 July. Sabrina will be joined by special guests Clairo and beabadoobee, with the full line-up still to be announced. Tickets go on general sale at 10am GMT on Wednesday 11 December.
Reigning queen of the charts Sabrina Carpenter’s headline BST Hyde Park show comes hot on the heels of the incredible success of her No.1 album Short n’ Sweet, which topped the charts in 19 countries including the Billboard 200 and UK Official Albums Chart. The platinum album boasts a trinity of hits, including the viral summer sensation ‘Espresso’, ‘Please Please Please’ and ‘Taste’, all of which reached No.1 in the UK, spending a combined total of 21 weeks in the top spot. With this remarkable trio, Carpenter became the first artist since the Beatles to chart their first three top five US hits in the same week.
Carpenter’s monumental success in 2024 continued with her debut at Coachella festival, her performances as Taylor Swift’s special guest on the Eras Tour across Latin America, Australia, and Singapore, and her own Short n’ Sweet tour across North America. Her tour has earned glowing reviews, with Consequence of Sound praising her for “making pop music feel larger than life”. Last month in Los Angeles, she even welcomed the iconic Christina Aguilera to the stage for a duet. Sabrina also recently announced her festive special, A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter, landing on Netflix today (6th Dec) in the US and tomorrow (7th Dec) in the UK. The special will feature performances, a host of special duets and guest acts, including comedians and 'unexpected’ appearances.
Joining Sabrina Carpenter at London’s BST Hyde Park is special guest, American indie luminary Clairo. Named NME’s Best New Act in the World in 2020, Clairo earned her first No.1 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 in August 2024, with her song ‘Juna’ off of her third studio album, Charm. Pitchfork described the singer’s soft-rock album as “a lush, rich production”, giving it an impressive 7.5 rating. The American singer-songwriter also gained popularity with her cult debut album single ‘Bags’ and TikTok viral hit ‘Flaming Hot Cheetos’, which has amassed over 452 million streams on Spotify.
beabadoobee also joins the line-up for BST Hyde Park. Known for her lush, introspective sound that bridges 90s alt-rock and modern indie pop, the London-based artist has become a defining voice of her generation. Fresh from her headline performance at Alexandra Palace, which Clash described as “a homecoming,” beabadoobee continues to win over fans with her heartfelt songwriting and magnetic stage presence. Her latest album This is How Tomorrow Moves, which shot to No.1 in the UK Albums Chart, has propelled her from indie darling to mainstream sensation, cementing her status with the Alexandra Palace milestone and now a coveted slot at BST Hyde Park.
Sabrina Carpenter joins previously announced headliners for 2025, Olivia Rodrigo (27 June), Zach Bryan (28 + 29 June), Noah Kahan (4 July), Hugh Jackman (6 July), and Jeff Lynne’s ELO (13 July).
