American Express presents BST Hyde Park is excited to welcome 11x Billboard Music Award winner and reigning Male Artist of the Year Morgan Wallen, headlining on Thursday 4 July. Today, we welcome more special guests to the line up, including Alana Springsteen, Alexandra Kay, Zandi Holup, Abbie Mac, The Halfway Kid, and Evan Bartels. They join the previously announced Riley Green, ERNEST and Ella Langley. Tickets for this unmissable show are on sale now, available at http://www.bst-hydepark.com

Alana Springsteen is a young Nashville singer songwriter leading a new generation of country stars, having released her debut album TWENTY SOMETHING last year. She has been writing songs since she was 9 years old, inspired by a Taylor Swift concert, even penning a track on her album called ‘taylor did’ in tribute. But she is blazing her own trail and her connection with audiences, both in real life and online, will be in evidence in Hyde Park this summer.

Alexandra Kay is another young star for the digital age, building her career with millions of video views online before making her Grand Ole Opry debut at the age of 22. She has since collaborated with the likes of Tim McGraw and Randy Travis, played the UK’s Country to Country festival, and independently released her debut album All I’ve Ever Known in 2023, adding to her 300 million streams so far.

Another newcomer for BST Hyde Park audiences to discover is prolific artist-writer Zandi Holup. Reminiscent of folk heroes like Dolly Parton and Joni Mitchell, Holup made her debut last year with the song “Gas Station Flowers.” Her raw brand of original folk country flourishes through unfiltered storytelling and her emotive vocals, supported by a growing grassroots following of listeners.

Also on the line-up and waiting to be discovered are Derry’s teenage singer songwriter Abbie Mac, British-Sudanese folk singer The Halfway Kid, and up-and-coming Nebraskan Evan Bartels.

Previously announced is the first ever UK performance for country star Riley Green, Nashville’s most unpredictable hitmaker ERNEST, plus artist to watch, Ella Langley.

Headliner Morgan Wallen says, “Last fall was my first time in the UK and man, I loved it. I saw so much while I was there, and the people were incredible. To play where legendary artists like Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones have played is a huge honour for me and my band, and we can’t wait to be back.”

One of today’s brightest stars in music, Morgan Wallen has been riding a non-stop wave of success with a string of 13 No. 1 hits. His latest single with Post Malone, “I Had Some Help,” was a major hit upon release, placing at No. 2 in the Official Charts in the UK, while simultaneously catapulting to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 all-genre charts, where it has remained for four consecutive weeks.

Wallen’s rise to prominence has been nothing short of meteoric. With The New York Times proclaiming Wallen as “one of the biggest stars in pop, period,” he continues to reign as one of Country’s top touring artists, playing to over 2.4 million fans. Wallen will bring the show to BST Hyde Park for the first time this summer.

Earlier this year, Wallen released Abbey Road Sessions, commemorating the one-year anniversary of his record-setting album One Thing At A Time. Recorded in London in the iconic Studio Two at the world-renowned Abbey Road Studios on Dec. 5, 2023, the digital series includes five live recordings from One Thing At A Time, an unreleased fan-favorite, “Lies Lies Lies,” and a never-before-recorded cover of British rock band Nothing But Thieves’ “Graveyard Whistling.” Watch/listen to Abbey Road Sessions HERE.

Wallen’s authentic storytelling and raw emotion struck a chord with fans, propelling him to the forefront of the country music scene. Last year saw him release his third studio album, One Thing At A Time, which reigned atop the all-genre Billboard 200 chart for 19 non-consecutive weeks, tying Garth Brooks’ Ropin’ the Wind with the most weeks at No. 1 for a Country album, and was the most-streamed album of the year on Spotify. The album recently returned to No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart for its 51st non-consecutive week, the sole second-longest command in the chart’s 60- year history.

The lineup for American Express presents BST Hyde Park 2024 is set to be truly spectacular, with headliners SZA (29 June), Kings of Leon (30 June), Morgan Wallen (4 July), Andrea Bocelli (5 July), Robbie Williams (6 July), Shania Twain (7 July), Stevie Nicks (12 July), Kylie (13 July) and Stray Kids (14 July), with the full line up for each day to be announced, and All Things Orchestral on 28 June.

This announcement follows the tremendous success of BST Hyde Park 2023, featuring legendary acts such as P!NK, Guns N’ Roses, Take That, BLACKPINK, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Billy Joel, and Lana Del Rey.
