Sir Tom Jones said, "I love playing in Hyde Park, it's such a beautiful place and so many of the greats have played there. There is a real sense of musical history and a fantastic atmosphere that comes with playing in the middle of a great London park on a wonderful summer evening."

Other musical acts include Boyzone, Little Mix, 10cc, and Bootleg Beatles.

Horrible Histories return to Hyde Park with multiple performances of their ‘Loathsome London’ theatre show. Shaun the Sheep along with his flock are being herded to Hyde Park for Championsheeps Live with activities throughout the day including Shirley’s Pie-athlon, the Free Range Egg & Chick Race, a Naughty Pigs Sack Race and much more.

Other family attractions include Go!Go!Go!, Nick Jnr’s resident pop group, Mr Men Little Miss will take over the Village Hall to bring day long arts & crafts workshops to Hyde Park. With Mr Bump, Mr Tickle, Mr Strong and Little Miss Sunshine in charge there are sure to be some Mr Messy moments!
