… but we didn’t start it – pun intended of course! As summer looms and festival season comes onto our minds once more, it’s hard not to be drawn to London’s Hyde Park. Not only are you certain that camping in the rain won’t need to be an issue you have to deal with, but the acts playing across the site’s three stages will be second to none!

While 2022 brought us face to face with Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood as The Rolling Stones headlined BST Hyde Park’s Great Oak Stage across two nights; the likes of tennis legend John McEnroe joined Eddie Vedder’s men as Pearl Jam stormed the park also across two night, The Rocketman himself – Elton John – brought his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour along as well as The Eagles, Adele and Duran Duran gracing the stage, 2023 will continue to promise something for everyone.

Trent And Atticus Nine Inch Nail It At The O2 Arena

Every act craves that strong connection with their audience – but how do you achieve this in a cavernous space like The O2 Arena, filled to the brim with around 20,000 fans (all, naturally, dressed in black)? Well, in typical belligerent style, Nine Inch Nails meet this challenge head on – treating us to a set by turns poetic and punishing, and despite the odd technical hiccup, really delivering that all important connection.
