Sabrina Carpenter to headline BST Hyde Park

Sabrina Carpenter will headline BST Hyde Park

Sabrina Carpenter is set to headline American Express presents BST Hyde Park.

The 'Espresso' hitmaker will take to the Great Oak Stage at the London outdoor venue on 5 July next year, and she'll be joined on the day by both Cairo and beabadoobee.

Further names will be added to the bill in due course.

The Amex presale begins on Friday (06.12.24) at 10am and ends at 9am on 11 December, while Sabrina's Arist Fanclub sale opens at 10am on Monday (09.12.24) ahead of general release next Wednesday (11.12.24).

Other artists announced to be headlining American Express presents BST Hyde Park next year including Olivia Rodrigo, Zach Bryan, Noah Kahan, Hugh Jackman and Jeff Lynne's ELO, with additional acts still to be revealed.

Sabrina recently defended herself against "misconceptions" that she doesn't write her own music.

Speaking on CBS Sunday Mornings, the 25-year-old star said: “I think the biggest misconception is that I don’t write about my music.

“I think a lot of people think that because I have a producer and co-writers that I love, that I’m sitting in the room on my phone not writing songs.”

Prior to releasing her viral singles ‘Espresso’ and ‘Please Please Please’, Sabrina – who shot to fame on the Disney Channel series ‘Girl Meets World’ as a teenager – had in fact written and recorded five other albums.

The ‘Because I Liked A Boy’ singer admitted it that her success is probably down to the encouragement of her parents.

She said: “They never told me to stop singing, and I that psychologically really, probably helped me.”

The ‘Taste’ hitmaker had been due to star in the leading role Cady Heron in the Broadway musical ‘Mean Girls’ in early 2020, but her plans were scuppered after just two performances when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, she went back to music and penned the record ‘Emails I Can’t Send’.

She said: “I rehearsed for about three months in New York, we opened, did our first two nights and then…COVID. It humbled me very quickly! I was sent home. I felt like I could do eight shows a week, I’d been training for it but then it was just like…silence.”
