BST Hyde Park has announced the first round of special guests set to join Garth Brooks for his long-awaited return to the UK on Saturday 27 June, revealing two major names in country music: Zac Brown Band and Ashley McBryde. Tickets for the highly anticipated show are on sale now via bst-hydepark.com, with the event already shaping up to be one of the most significant live music moments of the summer.
Zac Brown Band brings an extraordinary live legacy to the Hyde Park stage, with a career defined by chart dominance and genre-blurring musicianship. The multi-platinum, GRAMMY Award-winning group has achieved six consecutive top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 and five straight number one debuts on the Country Albums chart. With over 30 million singles sold, billions of streams, and a record for consecutive sold-out shows at Fenway Park, the band has earned its reputation as one of the most dynamic live acts in modern country and southern rock, celebrated for its powerful performances and musical versatility.
Joining them is Ashley McBryde, whose rise from playing biker bars to becoming one of country music’s most respected voices has been marked by critical acclaim and major awards. A GRAMMY, CMA and ACM winner, McBryde has earned widespread recognition for albums including Girl Going Nowhere and Never Will, as well as her GRAMMY-winning duet with Carly Pearce, Never Wanted To Be That Girl. Currently touring on The Devil I Know Tour, McBryde continues to solidify her place as a compelling and fearless storyteller on the country scene.
Headlining the night is Garth Brooks, one of the biggest-selling artists of all time and a true global icon who has not performed in the UK since 1998. Brooks revolutionised country live shows with stadium-sized production, pyrotechnics and record-breaking crowds, including his legendary Central Park performance in front of over one million fans. His most recent Stadium Tour concluded in 2022 with five sold-out nights at Dublin’s Croke Park, drawing over 400,000 attendees.
His return to BST Hyde Park marks a historic moment for UK fans and places him among the festival’s prestigious legacy of headliners, which includes Stevie Wonder, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift. The 2026 edition of BST Hyde Park will also feature Maroon 5 with OneRepublic on 3 July, Pitbull with Kesha on 10 July and Lewis Capaldi on 11 and 12 July, with more announcements expected soon.
Tickets for Garth Brooks at BST Hyde Park are available now at bst-hydepark.com.
