Barclaycard presents British Summer Time Hyde Park (BST Hyde Park) is a music festival held over two weekends once a year in London's Hyde Park. It was the first event AEG Live held in Hyde Park since they acquired the rights to host concerts there, and features a wide range of musical genres. Since 2013, BST Hyde Park has seen headliners such as The Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi, Lionel Richie, Black Sabbath, Neil Young, The Libertines, Arcade Fire, The Who, Blur, The Strokes and Taylor Swift.[1] In 2016, headliners will include Florence and the Machine, Kendrick Lamar, Carole King, Take That, Mumford and Sons and Stevie Wonder.[2] Arcade Fire's 2014 set is remembered as being "the concert of the summer".[3]
