BST Hyde Park is back for another year in 2024 and Andrea Bocelli is the first headliner to be announced.
It will mark the first time a classical artist has joined the line-up of the annual music event, making this a truly one-of-a-kind moment for both Bocelli and the BST event.
The Italian tenor, best known for tracks such as Time to Say Goodbye / Con te Partirò, Fall On Me, Cantico, and Because We Believe will be marking the 30th anniversary of his career.
Bocelli said: "In and of itself, it should be a private celebration: a career spanning 30 years, 30 years – a lifetime! – spent on stages around the world, striving to brush with beauty and offer my voice to those who wish to hear it, as part of the soundtrack of their lives.
"I am delighted to see how today this anniversary has become a celebration for many: a collective way to celebrate three decades of music and excitement, of memories and feelings, that can bloom to life to the notes of a score each time."
Bocelli said of BST: "Hyde Park is the perfect place for coming together to celebrate my 30th anniversary and reimagine it as a springboard propelling us into the future, imbued with positivity and the power of good.
"Celebrating it here is sure to be unforgettable, in the vast green lung from which London has been drawing breath for hundreds of years, in this park that is the embodiment of a glorious chapter in the history of a nation, of a continent, of a civilisation… and also of so much wonderful music that has rung out here, nourishing it in its wake."
