Celine Dion to headline British Summer Time festival at London’s Hyde Park

It will not only mark her only scheduled European date in 2019, but will come a month after she closes her second Las Vegas residency

Celine Dion is set to headline the British Summer Time festival, marking her only European date this year.

The musician said in a statement: ”It’s my first time doing a show in beautiful Hyde Park. I’m so excited. I love London, and it’s a great honour for me to be part of the Barclaycard presents BST Hyde Park concerts. I can’t wait. Summertime in London, here we come!”

Dion will join fellow headliners Florence + The Machine and Robbie Williams for the Hyde Park music festival.

She will perform on 5 July, with the rest of the line-up yet to be announced.

It will not only mark her only scheduled European date in 2019, but will come a month after she closes her second Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace.

James King, senior vice president of AEG Presents, the organisation behind BST, said: “Celine’s record-breaking career has seen her perform her many iconic songs on the globe’s most iconic stages, yet never before in Hyde Park.”

“It is therefore with the utmost excitement that we are bringing Celine Dion to Hyde Park for her only European show of 2019.”

Tickets will be available through a fan pre-sale on 23 January, with general sale tickets available on 29 January.
