November 2024

BST Hyde Park has unveiled another addition to its 2025 line-up: record-breaking folk-pop star Noah Kahan, who is set to perform his biggest UK show yet on Friday, 4th July. Kahan’s performance will feature special guest Gracie Abrams, with more acts to be announced soon. Kahan, a GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter from Vermont, has swiftly risen from his New England roots to global stardom. Known for his distinctive blend of folk, Americana, and rock, Kahan’s music has resonated with fans worldwide, racking up over five billion streams. His hit single “Stick Season,” inspired by his experiences in his hometown, has become a cultural phenomenon in the UK, where it reached Number 1 on the Official Charts and remained there for seven weeks. Earlier this year, Kahan’s album and single topped both the UK Albums and Singles Charts simultaneously, with “Stick Season” recently crowned the UK’s Biggest Song of 2024 by Official Charts. Kahan’s live performances have been met with immense enthusiasm. His tour promoting the Platinum-certified Stick Season album sold out across North America, drawing over half a million fans. In the UK, he quickly sold out two nights at the OVO Wembley Arena before performing to packed crowds at the O2 Arena. His upcoming appearance at Hyde Park promises to be a milestone in his career, following a line of unforgettable performances in 2024. Joining him is Gracie Abrams, whose own rapid rise in the music scene has positioned her as one of her generation’s most captivating songwriters. Known for her soul-baring lyrics and emotive delivery, Abrams made waves with her debut project, minor, and her subsequent EP This Is What It Feels Like. Her debut album Good Riddance, produced by The National’s Aaron Dessner, earned her critical acclaim, and her recent sophomore album The Secret of Us followed her participation in Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. Abrams’ BST Hyde Park debut adds yet another compelling layer to this unmissable event. Kahan joins an impressive roster of BST Hyde Park 2025 headliners, including Jeff Lynne’s ELO, Zach Bryan, and Hugh Jackman. With its tradition of attracting a diverse range of artists, BST Hyde Park has cemented itself as one of the UK’s most exciting summer events, delivering unforgettable performances from superstars like SZA, Morgan Wallen, Stevie Nicks, and Shania Twain. As more acts are announced, BST Hyde Park 2025 is shaping up to be yet another spectacular celebration of music.   To read more exclusive articles and latest news, see our last issue here.
