BST Hyde Park

Every year, BST Hyde Park brings some of the most iconic artists to the stage, and this year the line-up has been spot on. This weekend Stevie Nicks, Kylie Minogue and Stray Kids will be closing the festival – and one of the best ways to elevate the experience is at the Volvic VIP HydeAway where you can skip bar queues, get access to shaded seating and enjoy stellar performances by emerging artists at The Birdcage stage. Your tickets will also grant you access to the exclusive Gold Circle standing area that’s right in front of the stage – so you’re guaranteed the best view in the park.
