Morgan Wallen to Play London’s Hyde Park
Over the past few years, Morgan Wallen has steadily taken his tours to superstar heights, thanks to a slate of sold-out stadium and arena shows, both domestically and internationally.
Now, the 11-time Billboard Music Awards winner is expanding on his December 2023 concert at London’s O2 Arena (where he sold out the 20,000-capacity arena), by returning to London for a one-night-only show at the city’s 350-acre Hyde Park on July 4, 2024.
Hyde Park, which has an official capacity of 65,000 but has hosted concerts attended by thousands more than that, has been home to concerts by Queen, Pink Floyd, Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones and more.
“Last fall was my first time in the U.K. and man, I loved it,” Wallen said in a statement. “I saw so much while I was there, and the people were incredible.” He added of his upcoming Hyde Park show, “To play where legendary artists like Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones have played is a huge honor for me and my band, and we can’t wait to be back.”
The concert reveal follows the release of Wallen’s Abbey Road Sessions, which honors the one-year anniversary of his record-setting One Thing at a Time album. His Abbey Road Sessions, recorded at London’s iconic Studio Two at Abbey Road Studios on Dec. 5, 2023, offers five live recordings from One Thing at a Time, as well as the fan-favorite “Lies Lies Lies” and a cover of British rock band Nothing But Thieves’ “Graveyard Whistling.”
Tickets go on sale Wednesday, March 13, at 10 a.m. GMT at bst-hydepark.com. Supporting talent will be announced at a later date.
Wallen isn’t the only country superstar on Hyde Park’s BST summer lineup: Shania Twain will headline on July 7. Other artists on the Hyde Park lineup this summer include SZA, Kings of Leon, Stevie Nicks and Stray Kids.
