MUSE are the latest major act announced for American Express presents BST Hyde Park 2027, taking to the Great Oak Stage in London on Saturday 26th June. The two-time GRAMMY® Award-winning rock trio will be joined by special guests Nothing But Thieves and CHVRCHES, bringing together three of the UK’s most successful and distinctive alternative acts for one of next summer’s biggest outdoor shows.

The announcement adds another heavyweight date to the 2027 BST Hyde Park programme, with MUSE joining previously confirmed headliners Bon Jovi, who play on Thursday 24th June, and RAYE, who returns for a major homecoming performance on Saturday 10th July. Further artists and the full supporting line-up are expected to be revealed in the coming months.
Formed in Teignmouth, Devon, in 1994, MUSE have spent more than three decades establishing themselves as one of Britain’s most ambitious and internationally recognised rock bands. Fronted by Matt Bellamy, alongside Dominic Howard and Chris Wolstenholme, the trio have built their reputation on expansive live productions, cinematic arrangements and a catalogue of arena-sized anthems.

Songs including Plug In Baby, Time Is Running Out, Supermassive Black Hole and Uprising have become defining moments in the band’s career, helping them develop a worldwide following and sell more than 30 million records. Their ten studio albums have also delivered an extraordinary run of eight consecutive UK Number 1 records, most recently with their tenth album, The Wow! Signal, released in June 2026.
The latest album continued that chart-topping run, with production shared between the band, Dan Lancaster and Aleks Von Korff, and recording taking place partly at Abbey Road Studios. Its tracklisting includes the singles Unravelling, Be With You, Cryogen, Hexagons and Nightshift Superstar, alongside Hush, a collaboration with Ellie Goulding.
Throughout 2026, MUSE have taken The Wow! Signal Tour around the world, beginning with an intimate album launch performance at London’s Brixton Academy in April before heading to North America, where the run concluded at the Hollywood Bowl. Their European arena dates arrive in the UK next month, with two-night runs at Manchester’s Co-op Live and London’s The O2, ahead of their return to the capital for BST Hyde Park next summer.

Joining them are Nothing But Thieves, whose rise from their beginnings in Southend to international arena stages has been driven by a distinctive blend of alternative rock, expansive songwriting and powerful live performances. The band have amassed billions of streams, sold more than 1.2 million albums and earned multiple gold and platinum certifications worldwide.
With four UK Top 10 albums to their name, Nothing But Thieves reached the summit of the UK Albums Chart for the first time with 2023’s Dead Club City. Their extensive touring history includes landmark performances at Wembley Arena, while 2025 marked ten years since the release of their self-titled debut.
The band returned to Angelic Studios in Banbury, where that first record was made, to begin work on their latest chapter. Released in September, Stray Dogs sees Nothing But Thieves embrace a rawer, more organic and unpredictable sound, drawing on the energy and experience accumulated through more than a decade on the road while retaining the adventurous approach that has defined their music.

Completing the line-up are Scottish synth-pop trio CHVRCHES, who return with a new album and another chapter in their career. Recognised for their soaring electronic arrangements, infectious melodies and the unmistakable vocals of Lauren Mayberry, the band have built a devoted following through releases including The Bones of What You Believe, Every Open Eye, Love Is Dead and Screen Violence.
Their live set is expected to draw on more than a decade of material, including breakthrough tracks The Mother We Share and Recover, alongside fan favourites from across their catalogue. CHVRCHES are also preparing to release their fifth studio album, All The King’s Men, in January 2027. Their first full-length release in almost six years, the record is introduced by new single Roses, which offers an early glimpse of a politically charged direction for the trio.

The 26th June announcement is not the only major festival appearance planned for MUSE next summer. The band will also headline Roundhay Festival in Leeds on Sunday 27th June, the day after their BST Hyde Park performance, giving fans in the north of England another opportunity to see the group.
