American Express presents BST Hyde Park announces the first stellar 2025 headliner, with the incredible Jeff Lynne’s ELO gracing the famous Great Oak Stage on Sunday 13 July. Tickets on general sale at 9am BST this Friday 25 October.

One of Britain’s best loved bands, the group marks their farewell, decades after their founding in Birmingham and the start of a journey that transformed music. Currently completing their farewell US tour, ‘Over and Out’, the band will land at BST Hyde Park for a final ‘goodbye’ in summer 2025.

My return to touring began at Hyde Park in 2014”, explains Jeff Lynne. “It seems like the perfect place to do our final show. We couldn’t be more excited to share this special night in London with our UK fans. As the song goes, ‘we’re gonna do it One More Time!’

Recognised as one of the most iconic forces in music history, in recent years Jeff Lynne’s ELO has delivered a critically acclaimed and chart-topping album along with a sold out run of UK and European shows. Jeff Lynne was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame last year and the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017.

The band is synonymous for their epic shows and with a distinct style that seamlessly and innovatively blends rock, pop and classical – proven most recently as the band approach the end of their hugely successful stint in North America. ELO has had more than 20 Top 40 Hits across the US and the UK, making Lynne’s sweeping productions some of the most recognisable music of the last forty years and helping sell over 50 million records worldwide.

Their signature UFO descending on the stage and spectacular production immerses audiences in their world, with string sections, cutting edge technology and an array of musicians faithfully recreating ELO’s incredible recordings. Global hits like ‘Mr. Blue Sky’, ‘Don’t Bring Me Down’, ‘Evil Woman’, ‘Livin Thing’ ‘Turn To Stone’ and ‘Telephone Line’ travelled the world, fusing classical with electronic and rock.

Lynne was a co-founder and member of The Travelling Wilburys together with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty, as well as a producer and collaborator with some of the biggest names in music including The Beatles, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Joe Walsh and Bryan Adams.

 

Jim King, CEO of European Festivals at AEG Presents says,Jeff Lynne’s ELO are loved the world over. The live shows are nothing short of extraordinary and a testament to the incredible catalogue of hits we’ve enjoyed for over 50 years. Hosting their final performance at BST Hyde Park is a true honour, especially 30 years after their first festival show in the same park. We’re excited to be part of this special moment in music history.

 

BST Hyde Park again brought a hugely diverse range of superstars to the Royal Park in 2024 across three weekends – SZA to Kings of Leon, Morgan Wallen, Andrea Bocelli, Robbie Williams, Shania Twain, Stevie Nicks, Kylie Minogue and Stray Kids.

Expect more incredible announcements soon, for the 2025 edition of the UK’s most anticipated summer event.
