Andrea Bocelli at BST Hyde Park: timings and everything you need to know

Andrea Bocelli at BST Hyde Park: timings and everything you need to know

BST has held some superstar names over the years, with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen and Adele all having headlined the Great Oak Stage since the festival started in 2013. However, 2024 marks the first year that a classical artist is taking the reins, and it’s no less than Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli. 

Celebrating 30 years of his musical career, Bocelli will be the Friday headliner for this weekend’s stint in Hyde Park. He’ll be accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as British singer-songwriter Seal, Italian singer Zucchero and Oscar and Grammy-winning score composer Hans Zimmer as special guests. 

For classical music lovers, this isn’t one to miss. Here is everything you need to know about timings, tickets and setlist ahead of Bocelli’s headlining performance at BST.
