A powerful voice in modern country, Alexandra Kay has become a global phenomenon, generating millions of plays each week and commanding the attention of fans worldwide with a sound that channels the timeless spirit of Dolly Parton, Alison Krauss and LeAnn Womack. Raised in Waterloo, Illinois, just outside St. Louis, she began writing songs at 15, drawing on lived experience and a deep-rooted love of classic country. Kay launched her music career independently at 22, going viral repeatedly with heartfelt renditions of 90s country favourites and building an extraordinary online following, as well as well over 350 million collective YouTube streams to date. 

Her rise has seen collaborations with country icons including Randy Travis, Tim McGraw and Jo Dee Messina, a celebrated Grand Ole Opry debut in 2022 followed by multiple return performances, and extensive touring across the US, Canada and the UK, including a standout C2C London appearance and sold-out headline shows. Her debut album All I’ve Ever Known(2023) secured Top 10 Billboard positions, cementing her status as one of country music’s most compelling modern storytellers. Now signed to BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville and continuing her remarkable ascent, Alexandra Kay brings her roots-driven sound and fiercely loyal fanbase to Hyde Park this summer. 

Pioneers of the modern UK country movement, The Shires are a British duo Ben Earle and Crissie Rhodes. The pair have long been celebrated for their ability to craft pitch-perfect American country-pop infused with a distinctly British heart. Formed in 2013 after Earle, then a struggling solo artist, put a call out on social media for a country singer, the pair quickly bonded over a shared love of artists such as Lady A, Little Big Town and The Band Perry. Emerging in 2015 with their chart-topping debut Brave, The Shires made history as the first English country act to sign to a major Nashville label, enjoying success on both sides of the Atlantic. A run of acclaimed albums followed, including My Universe, Accidentally on Purpose and Good Years, each debuting at number one on the UK Country Charts, with their fifth studio album 10 Year Plan arriving in 2022 to mark a decade of the band. Renowned for their uplifting songwriting and wonderfully synced live performances, The Shires have toured extensively, supported leading US country artists and built a devoted fanbase, and now return to BST Hyde Park this summer following their memorable appearance in 2018.

With his strong gravel-toned vocals, wayward spirit, intentional songwriting and overall mystique, PLATINUM-selling singer/songwriter Jackson Dean has earned a reputation for his impressive live show and thought-provoking music. Since astonishing Nashville in 2022 with Greenbroke, the acoustic-forward debut that rocked as hard as it embraced freedom, the dusky-voiced songwriter from Maryland has always gone his own way rather than chasing trends. “Don’t Come Lookin’,” his propulsive debut single, gave Greenbroke a launching pad for a writer willing to pay the price and go the distance. The demand for Jackson continued to rise after landing a coveted spot on artist to watch lists by Pandora, Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon, as well as an ACM New Male Artist of the Yearnomination in 2023. On The Back of My Dreams, Dean’s sophomore album, delivered the hit song “Heavens To Betsy” from a project American Songwriter deemed a “near-perfect follow up.” It also provided more fuel for a combustive live show that has taken him to audiences across the globe. Striking a chord with UK fans, he has sold thousands of tickets on two headlining tours, delivered high-profile sets at Highways Festival and The Long Road Festival, performed on Later… with Jools Holland, and will host C2C Festival in London alongside BBC Radio 2’s Bob Harris. Now embarking on new territory both sonically and lyrically, his current single “Make A Liar” is climbing the Country Radio charts, as his third studio album, Magnolia Sage, will be released on April 24. An eclectic collection of songs that move from sweeping to soothing, rocking to ruminative, the 11-track project creates a sound that is singularly Jackson Dean: alive, vital, frisky, sexy and rugged.

Blending the timeless spirit of classic country with contemporary melodies and polished modern production, Mae Estes is emerging as one of Nashville’s most exciting storytellers. A native of Hope, Arkansas, her journey began at just seven years old, singing the national anthem in the middle of a rodeo arena, and she has been honing her craft ever since. After more than a decade paying her dues in Music City, Estes introduced herself in 2023 with her independently released six-song debut EP, quickly drawing attention for her authenticity and emotional depth. That same year, she announced major signings, signalling her arrival on the national stage. Named a “stone-cold country newcomer” by Whiskey Riff, she was recognised in 2024 as AIMP’s Rising Artist-Writer of the Year, selected for CMT’s Next Women of Country class and crowned Arkansas CMA Female Vocalist of the Year for a third time. Having shared stages with the likes of Lainey Wilson, Ashley McBryde, Vince Gill and Dierks Bentley, Mae Estes continued her upward trajectory with the release of her self-titled EP in 2025 and more to come this year. 

A true Texan with country music in his DNA, Jake Worthington was raised on the sounds of Ray Price, Merle Haggard and George Jones, learning the genre first-hand from his grandfather’s porch performances in La Porte, Texas. Picking up his own Gibson acoustic at a young age, Worthington quickly revealed a voice destined for classic status. Today, he is breathing new life into dance halls, beer joints and ballrooms from Texas to Tennessee with a growing catalogue that blends timeless honky-tonk with modern fire, including his viral breakout It Ain’t The Whiskey, I’m The One featuring Marty Stuart and his recent collaboration with Miranda Lambert, Hello Shitty Day. With his sophomore album When I Write The Song,released last year, Worthington continues to captivate audiences with his unmistakable sound.. As he puts it himself, he believes in country music “as much as his next breath”, and his commitment to keeping the genre true to its roots has never been clearer.

Hailing from Sandy Hook in Kentucky, Leah Blevins is a compelling new voice blending vintage country grit with a modern, soulful edge. Raised in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, her songwriting draws on country and gospel influences, rooted in a strong sense of place and storytelling. Following her 2021 debut First Time Feeling, she returned with her Easy Eye Sound sophomore album All Dressed Up, produced by Dan Auerbach, which pairs timeless vocals with contemporary Southern textures. Now signed to Bob Doyle’s Major Bob Music, Blevins continues her ascent, most recently releasing the 2025 single Be Careful Throwing Stones, marking her as an artist firmly bridging past and present.

Chanel Yates is the pocket sized cowgirl everyone’s talking about. With a fast growing global fanbase and widespread support from UK media. Chanel’s honest, no filter songwriting has made her one of the most exciting new voices to watch in country music. Rooted in real life moments, heartbreak and humour, Chanel’s girl power anthems have resonated with fans around the world, gaining millions of streams and landing on top editorial playlists across Spotify and Apple Music. Chanel is creating a huge buzz in the UK and overseas with her relatable lyrics paired with a viral line dance for one of her latest records Big Girl Boots. On stage, she brings her signature style and infectious energy to life. Whether she is playing sold out headline shows or writing in Nashville, Chanel continues to break genre boundaries. After a breakout year of sold out shows, major festivals, and with new music on the way this year, Chanel Yates is the one to watch.

McGrath is an Irish artist and songwriter, currently living in Belfast. Discovered in his native Donegal, playing in a local pub, he sings songs about drinking stout with his dad, the arrival of the horsemen of the apocalypse and the ups and downs of Rotha Mór an tSaoil (that’s ‘the Great Wheel of Life’). His voice and sharp-witted lyricism caught the ears of George Ezra who invited him to open for him in 2025, as well as earning him a slot at the fabled Ruby Sessions in Dublin. Coming into 2026, new music is planned for release in the Spring.

There is no disguising the magnitude of this concert. One of the biggest selling artists of all time, Garth Brooks brought country music to the globe and a mega star who has not played in the U.K. since 1998! Brooks is simply a music legend, he is the artist who put country music on the map and kick started the global popularity it enjoys today. His live shows transformed country music, powering it into rock-style arena territory with pyrotechnics, huge production, and record-breaking crowds. In 1997, his legendary Central Park show drew an estimated over 1 million fans. His stadium tours have redefined what a country tour can be, most recently the three-and-a-half-year Stadium Tour that concluded in 2022 with five sold-out nights at Dublin’s Croke Park, attended by over 400,000 people.

Now, after nearly three decades, he returns to the U.K. to perform at BST Hyde Park, joining the illustrious line-up of world-renowned artists who have graced the stage, from Stevie Wonder and The Rolling Stones to Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift and many more.

Other headliners for 2026 are Maroon 5 (3 July), Mumford & Sons (4 July), Pitbull with special guest Kesha (10 July) and Lewis Capaldi (11 + 12 July). Expect more incredible announcements soon for this year’s edition of the UK’s most anticipated summer event.
