Full line-up to be announced. Tickets go on general sale on Friday 29 May, visit www.bst-hydepark.com
Hailing from KQ Entertainment, ATEEZ quickly distinguished themselves as one of K-pop’s leading acts, selling out a global tour just four months into their career. Their artistic identity is defined by interconnected storytelling, unfolding across their ‘TREASURE,’ ‘FEVER,’ ‘THE WORLD’ and ‘GOLDEN HOUR’ album series.
They reached million‐seller status with their eighth EP in 2022, marking an important milestone in their rise. Their impact extends strongly into the UK as well, with the group becoming the first South Korean musical act to have three different releases chart in the Top 10 Official Albums Chart within a single year in 2024. Their momentum accelerated further that year, when they dominated major festivals worldwide, including Coachella in the US, Summer Sonic in Japan and a headline set at Mawazine in Morocco.
Their achievements continued last year, with a ‘K-pop Artist of the Year’ win at the iHeartRadio Music Awards and a nomination for ‘Favourite K-Pop Artist’ at the American Music Awards. This was followed by their celebrated ‘TOWARDS THE LIGHT: WILL TO POWER’ tour, which brought 14 shows across nine European countries.
ATEEZ has continued to solidify their global success, earning Top 3 placements on the Billboard 200 with six consecutive releases and placing a total of eight albums in the chart’s Top 10. The group also achieved back-to-back entries on the Billboard Hot 100, further underscoring the consistency and scale of their worldwide impact. Most recently, ATEEZ successfully wrapped up their latest world tour, ‘IN YOUR FANTASY,’ with stops across the United States, Asia, Japan, and Korea.
Early 2026 saw the release of ‘GOLDEN HOUR : Part.4,’ ATEEZ’s 13th EP, which added yet another wave of achievements to the group’s growing global momentum. Featuring five tracks led by the high-energy single ‘Adrenaline,’ the release earned major chart success across Korea and internationally.
ATEEZ now take another major step in their global journey. Their Hyde Park headline show will be a reminder of why they stand among the most influential groups of their generation. It also marks a significant moment for Hyde Park itself as a UK exclusive event for 2026.
BST Hyde Park has built a strong legacy of placing K-pop artists at the forefront of major festival stages. In 2023, BLACKPINK made UK festival history by becoming the first K-pop group to headline a major UK music festival at BST Hyde Park. The following year, Stray Kids became the first male K-pop group to headline the festival. ATEEZ now join this landmark lineage.
Headliners for BST Hyde Park 2026 also include: Garth Brooks (Saturday 27 June), Maroon 5 (Friday 3 July), Mumford & Sons (Saturday 4 July), Duran Duran (Sunday 5 July), Pitbull (Friday 10 July) and Lewis Capaldi (Saturday 11 July and Sunday 12 July).
