BST Hyde Park 2025 Announces Fourth Headliner: Noah Kahan

by | Nov 5, 2024

American Express presents BST Hyde Park has announced another incredible headliner for 2025, record breaking folk-pop star, Noah Kahan, for his biggest UK show to date on Friday 4 July! Kahan will be joined by special guest, Gracie Abrams, with full line-up still to come. Over the past year, the GRAMMY®-nominated Vermont singer-songwriter has exploded from his New England roots into the global mainstream, solidifying himself as one of this year’s biggest and best new artists.

Across three albums and two EPs, the 27-year-old has garnered global renown for his singular mix of Folk, Americana, and Rock, landing more than five billion streams, a Double Platinum Certification for hit single Stick Season, and collaborations with Post Malone, Kacey Musgraves, Kelsea Ballerini, Brandi Carlile, Gracie Abrams, Sam Fender and more.

A major global success, Stick Season, a song based on the malaise he felt staying in his hometown, became Kahan’s first UK Top 10 single. Climbing all the way to Number 1 it sat atop of the UK charts for seven weeks and, in February this year, he landed the Official Chart double as both Stick Season and its accompanying album took the Number 1 spot on both the Official Singles and Albums Chart simultaneously. Just last month, the track has now been named as the UK’s Biggest Song of 2024 by Official Charts.

Shows in support of the widely adored LP sold-out across North America, selling over half-a-million tickets – just a prelude to his stadium and arena dates on his sold-out world tour that followed. In 2024 here in the UK, Kahan sold-out two nights at OVO Wembley Arena, following up with two sold-out shows at the O2 Arena just a few months later. Now the singer joins the incredible list of headliners to play BST Hyde Park’s Great Oak Stage, for one of the biggest shows of his career so far.

Since making her debut in 2019, Gracie Abrams has emerged as one of the most compelling songwriters of her generation. Her debut project minor was released in summer 2020, featuring her beloved singles 21, I Miss You, I’m Sorry, and Long Sleeves. In 2021, Abrams returned with EP This Is What It Feels Like, before sharing her long-awaited debut album Good Riddance, produced by long-time Taylor Swift collaborator Aaron Dessner, of The National. Her latest offering, the 2024 sophomore album The Secret Of Us, was created soon after Abrams took the stage at stadiums across the US as support for Taylor Swift’s blockbuster Eras Tour.

Noah Kahan joins previously announced headliners Jeff Lynne’s ELO, Zach Bryan, and Hugh Jackman for 2025. Expect more incredible announcements soon, for the next edition of the UK’s most anticipated summer event.

BST Hyde Park again brought a hugely diverse range of superstars to the Royal Park in 2024 across three weekends – SZA to Kings Of Leon, Morgan Wallen, Andrea Bocelli, Robbie Williams, Shania Twain, Stevie Nicks, Kylie Minogue and Stray Kids, many of which Rockshot Magazine went along to check out.

Britainicana Is Louder That Americana: Westside Cowboy Stampede Through Portsmouth

Manchester-based quartet Westside Cowboy have only been together since 2023, but have already caused a stir. They have even coined a genre of their own – Britainicana. Even though the name suggests US country with a miserable and sarcastic British twist, they have created something much more fun.

Midweek Metal Mass: Lacuna Coil Blaze Through Leeds Stylus

Italian goth heavyweights Lacuna Coil turn Tuesday into a blackout ritual at Leeds Stylus, backed by a fired-up opening assault from Florida bruisers Nonpoint.

Nonpoint hit the stage like they’ve been itching for it all day. Elias Soriano stalks the mic with clipped precision, spitting hooks and commands in equal measure. Robb Rivera goes straight for the gut behind the kit, while Adam Woloszyn grinds out bass lines with industrial weight. Guitarist’s Jaysin Zeilstra and Rasheed Thomas add bite and distortion, feeding the noise without ever tipping it into clutter. The band sound more drilled-in than on their last UK run — tighter, sharper, still proudly abrasive.
