Back in July Scottish singer/songwriter Lewis Capaldi announced a grand return to touring after a two-year break. The 'Someone You Loved' and 'Before You Go' singer revealed a bunch of UK tour dates, and he's currently working his way through several of Britain's biggest indoor arenas. Now Capaldi has announced an extension of that tour with several equally massive (if not bigger) outdoor shows in the UK next summer. And, excitingly, one of them is here in London at BST Hyde Park.
BST has had quite the run of huge-name country headliners over the last few years. Zach Bryan, Shania Twain and Morgan Wallen have all headlined the Great Oak Stage in recent editions. Brooks' concert next June will be his first appearance in the UK in nearly 30 years. That's right, three decades. That's a hell of a long time for the best-selling solo artist in US history to have not played the UK. He last performed here in 1998.
Jeff Lynne's ELO will perform their last show at BST Hyde Park on July 13, featuring original member Jeff Lynne and special guests like the Doobie Brothers.
