The third and final weekend of BST Hyde Park 2025 is shaping up to be a big ’un. If the first two weekends – with Olivia Rodrigo, Zach Bryan, Noah Kahan and Sabrina Carpenter – seemed geared towards younger audiences, the final few shows are for the legends. Neil Young, ELO and Stevie Wonder are closing out this year’s fest.
Stevie will be gracing the Great Oak Stage on Saturday with a stellar supporting lineup featuring the likes of Corinne Bailey Rae, Thee Sacred Souls and Time Out cover stars Ezra Collective.
