BST Hyde Park continues to cement its status as the crown jewel of the UK’s summer music season, and this year’s edition promises one of its most emotionally charged and dynamic nights yet. On Friday 27th June 2025, Olivia Rodrigo will headline the legendary Great Oak Stage—and now, she’ll be joined by a dazzling array of special guests and rising stars set to light up London’s Royal Park.

New Jersey-born and Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Sarah Hollins is no stranger to telling hard truths through even harder songs — and with her new single “Mother”, dropping just in time for Mother’s Day Weekend 2025, she has crafted her most uncompromising and timely release to date. Produced by Erik Kertes (Michael Bublé, Shakira, Jewel, Melissa Etheridge), the track is a snarling, defiant ode to the kind of feminine rage that rarely gets the sonic space it deserves.

In a music landscape where reinvention can often seem forced, The Kooks have taken a different approach: reflection as a form of renewal. With their seventh studio album, Never/Know, out today, the Brighton-formed indie mainstays offer a vibrant, emotionally grounded record that doesn’t just revisit their roots—it reimagines them.

Alt-pop icon Lorde has officially announced her long-awaited return to the global stage with the Ultrasound 2025 headline tour, marking her biggest and most ambitious live run yet. The announcement comes hot on the heels of the reveal of her upcoming fourth studio album, Virgin, due out on 27th June.
