Hans Zimmer, Seal and more have been announced as special guests for Andrea Bocelli’s headline show at BST Hyde Park 2024. See the line-up below.
The renowned classical singer is due to top the bill at the London concert series on Friday July 5. Billed as a “UK exclusive” performance, the set will mark the first time BST has been headlined by a classical musician.
Today (June 6), organisers have revealed a host of acts who will join Bocelli on stage at his upcoming gig in Hyde Park – which marks the 30th anniversary of his career. These include the aforementioned Zimmer and Seal, as well as Zucchero, Loren Allred, Joaquina, Andrea Griminelli, Rusanda Panfili and Bocelli’s 12-year-old daughter, Virginia.
They appear on the line-up alongside the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (conducted by Michele Spotti), and dancers Angelica Gismondo and Francesco Costa.
The new additions to the bill join the previously announced Katherine Jenkins and Bocelli’s son Matteo (who will both be performing their own exclusive sets), host Myleene Klass, Nadine Sierra, Isabel Leonard and Luca Micheletti, and the Crouch End Festival Chorus.
Further performers are to be confirmed at a later date. Check out the announcement post above, and find any remaining tickets here.

Upon announcing the show last November, Bocelli said: “I am delighted to see how today this anniversary has become a celebration for many: a collective way to celebrate three decades of music and excitement, of memories and feelings, that can bloom to life to the notes of a score each time.
“Hyde Park is the perfect place for coming together to celebrate my 30th anniversary and reimagine it as a springboard propelling us into the future, imbued with positivity and the power of good.”
He added: “Celebrating it here is sure to be unforgettable, in the vast green lung from which London has been drawing breath for hundreds of years, in this park that is the embodiment of a glorious chapter in the history of a nation, of a continent, of a civilisation… and also of so much wonderful music that has rung out here, nourishing it in its wake.”
Also headlining BST Hyde Park this summer are SZA (June 29) Kings Of Leon (June 30), Morgan Wallen (July 4), Robbie Williams (July 6), Shania Twain (July 7), Stevie Nicks (July 12), Kylie Minogue (July 13) and Stray Kids (July 14).
