In the twelve years I’ve been covering BST Hyde Park concerts, from the Rolling Stones, Duran Duran and Sabrina Carpenter, I’ve never seen the park this full, this charged, or this unified in joy as I did on Saturday 12 July 2025, when Stevie Wonder, at 79, took to the stage for what is believed to be his final UK tour date. Families sprawled out on parched yellow grass, teenagers wearing vintage Motown tees, and elders holding each other close – all gathered beneath the scorching London sun for a man who transcends generations, genres and even ideologies.
This wasn’t just a concert. It was a communion.

Yesterday at BST Hyde Park, amidst one of London’s hottest days on record, something truly magical happened: Yusuf / Cat Stevens took to the stage, and for 60 glorious, transcendent minutes, time stopped.

Hyde Park on the evening of 6th July 2025 shimmered like the inside of a giant glitter globe. The air was thick with perfume, heat, and adolescent squeals as Sabrina Carpenter stepped onto the BST stage. Having experienced many gigs in this iconic London venue, this one felt different — like a generational coronation for a pop princess in her prime, with just enough nods to the past to make us grown-ups feel seen.
