American Express presents BST Hyde Park has announced the first wave of special guests joining South Korean group ATEEZ for their Hyde Park headline debut on Sunday, 28 June. One of the world’s biggest K-pop acts will take to one of the world’s most iconic stages, as the eight-member group – HONGJOONG, SEONGHWA, YUNHO, YEOSANG, SAN, MINGI, WOOYOUNG, and JONGHO – continues its global rise since debuting in 2018. They will be joined by FLO, Taemin, Midnight Til’ Morning, ALTÉGO, dearALICE, Tommy Lyon, Girl Group, and Jazzie Martian, with more acts still to be announced. Tickets are on sale now via www.bst-hydepark.com.

BRIT Award-winning trio FLO (Jorja Douglas, Stella Quaresma, and Renée Downer) have quickly become one of the UK’s best R&B groups. They were the first British R&B girl group in two decades to earn a Grammy nomination, and this year won Best R&B/Soul Act at the MOBO Awards. With over a billion streams and the highest-charting UK R&B girl group in more than 20 years, FLO are leading a new wave of British R&B. Their second album, Therapy at the Club, arrives on 24 July.

Taemin, member of SHINee and solo K-pop star, is one of the genre’s most respected performers. Since debuting in 2008, he has built a career defined by strong visuals and performance-driven music, with tracks like “Sherlock” and “Dream Girl” helping shape his legacy. Now a global solo artist, he became the first male K-pop soloist to perform at Coachella and continues to be praised for pushing the boundaries of performance in K-pop.

Midnight Til Morning (Conor Smith, Mason Watts, Shane Appell, and Zach Newbould) is a rising pop group formed through Netflix. After a run of sold-out shows, including a full takeover of London’s KOKO, the band is fast becoming one of the new acts to watch in 2026. Their latest single, “Math,” shows their upbeat, guitar-led sound and growing confidence as a live act.

ALTÉGO, the UK platinum-certified DJ duo and twin brothers Michael and Lukas Fernandes-Pense, are known for turning viral mashups into dance-floor hits. Their remix of “Toxic” and “Pony” broke into the Billboard R&B chart and built them a strong online following. Having previously opened for Kylie Minogue, they return to BST Hyde Park with their signature club-ready sound.

dearALICE, formed through SM & Kakao Entertainment America and Moon&Back, is a five-member group brought together through the BBC series Made in Korea: The K-Pop Experience. James Sharp, Dexter Greenwood, Reese Carter, Olly Quinn, and Blaise Noon are still early in their journey, but are already being tipped as one of the more interesting UK-K-pop crossover acts.

Tommy Lyon, formerly of boyband Here At Last, is now building a solo career. His debut single, “Live To Die,” marked a new direction in 2025, followed by indie-pop releases “Ruins” and “All I’ve Known”, which gained attention online and on the charts. Known for emotional songwriting, he continues to grow a strong TikTok following.

Girl Group (Katya Birkeland, Lily Christlow, Thea Gundersen, Mia Halvorsen, and Maria Tollisen) brings a sharp, feminist edge to pop. Formed at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, their music tackles modern expectations on women with humour and bite, turning everyday experiences into bold pop statements.

Jazzie Martian, Nottingham-born artist and winner of the Amex Gold Unsigned initiative, blends R&B, rap, and spirituality in his music. Praised early on by NME, he continues to build a growing fanbase and collaborate with established producers while refining his sound.

ATEEZ headline BST Hyde Park with a global reputation built on powerful performances and ambitious storytelling. Since debuting in 2018, the eight-member group has toured worldwide, topped charts, and built a strong narrative-driven universe across their releases. Known for their high-energy shows and detailed concepts, they remain one of the most successful K-pop acts of their generation.

Other BST Hyde Park 2026 headliners include Garth Brooks (27 June), Maroon 5 (3 July), Mumford & Sons (4 July), Duran Duran (5 July), Pitbull (10 July), and Lewis Capaldi (11–12 July).
