British Summer Time is back for 2017 at London's Hyde Park! Starting with Phil Collins see the likes of Justin Bieber, Green Day & Kings of Leon
British summer time is always full of exciting art and music events, especially in the capital where you can see the entertainment industry's biggest names on your doorstep. British Summer Time at Hyde Park is therefore an aptly named series of open air concerts, right in the city centre. The 2017 BST line up does not disappoint; expect to see Phil Collins, Justin Bieber, The Killers and Stevie Nicks live in concert. With tickets starting at £79 and some events already sold out, you will have to be quick to join in the fun!
Kicking off on Friday 30 June is Phil Collins as part of his Not Dead Yet Live Tour, the first time the singer will take to the stage in almost ten years. Guaranteed to please the crowds, the Genesis front man has said: "I will be playing all of the songs that people love." With support from Blondie and KC and The Sunshine Band this looks to be a fantastic opening night.
The other headliners of the series include big names such as Green Day, Justin Bieber, Kings of Leon, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, while The Killers have sold out already! However, it is not just the main acts that will be drawing in the crowds either, support across the event series includes Blondie, Gogol Bordello, Naughty Boy and the Pixies.

Not only are these world-class acts going to entice you, but the on-site food vendors offer a huge range of cuisines from Caribbean to Italian, burgers to waffles, vegan to pescetarian, that defy your typical 'festival food' vans. We would recommend turning up at opening doors to allow you and your friends and family time to enjoy the food, drink and electric atmosphere while the supporting acts build up into the evening! Tickets are available to buy for any one of the events, the only problem will be deciding who you want to see most!
