Jon Bon Jovi marked the announcement with a nod to history, saying in the press statement: “it’s a full circle moment to be returning to BST Hyde Park, 14 years after headlining the very first festival.”

A Full-Circle Return

When BST Hyde Park debuted in 2013, Bon Jovi were the band that christened its stages, headlining the inaugural edition and setting the tone for a decade of summer headliners. Fourteen years on, the New Jersey rockers return to the Great Oak Stage — older, louder, and with a catalog that has only grown since that first Hyde Park night.

Forever Tour & Tickets

The Hyde Park date lands in the middle of a huge comeback chapter for the band. Their 2026 return run packed nine sold-out nights at Madison Square Garden in New York, alongside dates in Edinburgh and Dublin and three sold-out Wembley Stadium shows. The Forever Tour then resumes in March 2027 in Sydney before rolling into the summer festival season.

The tour takes its name from the band’s album FOREVER, given a second life in 2025 as FOREVER (Legendary Edition) — a collection of reimagined FOREVER tracks featuring Bruce Springsteen, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Jason Isbell, Carín León, Joe Elliott, Robbie Williams and Avril Lavigne. The Grammy-winning, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band remain one of rock’s biggest live draws, and BST Hyde Park organisers say more 2027 headliners are still to be announced.
