Noah Kahan ’s headline show at BST Hyde Park on 4th July was much more than a concert – it was a heartfelt celebration of music, family, connection and joy. In the midst of this hot London summer, Hyde Park became a peaceful pocket of paradise – no political noise, no news drama – just a 65,000-strong crowd united in song. And what a gig it was. Noah Kahan, the Vermont-born singer-songwriter with a voice like warm honey and lyrics that hit straight to the heart, played his biggest show to date. And he made sure we knew just how grateful he was. “My mum is here tonight,” he beamed. “She believed in me. She told me that one day I’d have my chance.” As a fellow mum, I had a lump in my throat. Every mother in the audience must’ve felt the same. Her faith in him wasn’t misplaced – he was phenomenal.

On a balmy summer evening at London’s Eventim Apollo, Celtic Throne lit up the stage with a spectacular fusion of music, dance, and storytelling that left families – especially young children – utterly enchanted. The high-energy production, delivered by a powerhouse cast of over 50 performers hailing from America with strong Irish roots, felt at times like a Disney musical reimagined through the lens of ancient Gaelic legend.

While the world raves about Glastonbury and Rod Stewart’s epic show, there’s something distinctly magical – and wonderfully convenient – about British Summer Time (BST) Hyde Park. This year’s festival, especially over the weekend of 28–29 June headlining Zach Bryan, was proof that London knows how to throw an epic party. Two days of music, sunshine, cowboy boots, and soulful Americana made for a spectacular showcase – and unlike Glasto, at the end of each day, we could head home, kick off our boots, and sleep in our own beds. No mud, no tents – just world-class performances and urban comfort.
