Ateez Headline BST Hyde Park on June 28 as Festival Draws Its 3rd K-pop Top Bill
8 articles · Updated · BBC.com · May 18
June 28 was added to BST Hyde Park’s headline roster with Ateez topping the bill, joining acts including Pitbull, Lewis Capaldi, Maroon 5 and Garth Brooks.
The eight-member group becomes the third K-pop act to headline the London festival, after Blackpink in 2023 and Stray Kids in 2024.
Ateez arrive with strong UK momentum: they became the first K-pop group to post four straight UK top-10 albums and the first to land three top-10 albums in one year.
BST Hyde Park headliners typically draw about 65,000 fans, and organizers said more artists are still to be announced before Ateez tickets go on sale on May 29.
