BRIT award-winning group FLO (Jorja Douglas, Stella Quaresma, and Renée Downer) became the first British R&B group in two decades to secure a Grammy nomination and, this year, took home Best R&B/Soul Act at the MOBO Awards. FLO are the highest-charting British R&B girl group in the last 23 years, with over a billion career streams. Rolling Stone UK declared the group a “quintessential part of this renaissance, helping to usher in a next-generation group formula both on home soil and abroad”. Earning co-signs from Cythia Erivo, SZA, Missy Elliot and rapper GloRilla, FLO are transforming the UK R&B, one sultry, glimmering track at a time. And, if you don’t believe us, their 3.7 million listeners on Spotify prove otherwise. The trio release their highly anticipated sophomore album, Therapy at the Club, on 24 July.
South Korean artist, actor and member of boyband SHINEee, Taemin is a global phenomenon. Your favourite artist’s favourite idol, Taemin made his name as a beloved K-pop star in 2008 through hit releases ‘Julliete’, the iconic track ‘Sherlock’ and funky single ‘Dream Girl’. Since then, Taemin has emerged as a solo artist in his own class, earning praise from NME who labelled him as “one of the industry’s most boundary-pushing and inimitable icons”. Taemin’s earnest praise is well deserved. In the last few years alone, he’s fashioned a fresh image of a K-Pop artist, proving there’s little getting in his way. This year, he made history by becoming the first male K-pop artist to perform at Coachella. Rolling Stone UK marvelled as Taemin “continues to ride the crescendo of his stardom” with over two decades of bangers against his name. Inspired by the legendary Michael Jackson, it’s no surprise Taemin’s showmanship has earned him the title of the prince of K-Pop. Taemin’s full-throttle career shows no signs of slowing down, and he’s ready to bring his record-breaking festival flair and dance moves to the famous Great Oak stage this summer.
Netflix-formed breakout band Midnight Til Morning (Conor Smith, Mason Watts, Shane Appell, and Zach Newbould) are a new frontier of pop. Making BST Hyde Park their next biggest venture, the special festival show will be a prelude to their forthcoming UK headline shows in October. They kicked off this year with a string of sold-out shows, including a complete takeover of London’s KOKO. From there, the band are fast becoming one of 2026’s must-see acts. Midnight Til Morning have taken viral moments in their stride and, now, their new guitar-driven single ‘Math’ spotlights the band’s charisma and relatable lyrics, establishing them as a global band to watch.
ALTÉGO are a story of two halves. In this case, the UK platinum-certified DJ duo are twin brothers. Born to an Angolan-Portuguese mother and Austrian-Indian father, the brothers – Michael and Lukas Fernandes-Pense – meld buzzy dancefloor tunes with slick R&B influences and hip-hop style, amassing a huge TikTok following online. The pair have transformed online megahits into infectious dance-pop, such as remixing Britney Spears’ ‘Toxic’ with Ginuwine’s ‘Pony’ which charted on Top 10 on Billboard’s R&B Chart and hit No. 40 on the Billboard Pop Airplay chart, earning millions of followers online – and Britney Spears her first-ever entry on Billboard’s R&B charts. Now, ALTÉGO are ready to make their BST Hyde Park comeback, having opened for the iconic Kylie Minogue in 2024.
dearALICE, a collaboration between SM & Kakao Entertainment America and Moon&Back, are a K-pop school success story. The five singers – James Sharp, Dexter Greenwood, Reese Carter, Olly Quinn, and Blaise Noon – were assembled by three of the biggest names in K-pop. The boys were brought together through BBC’s reality show Made in Korea: The K-Pop Experience, where they experienced non-stop training to become a superstar band.
With their journey just beginning, dearALICE is entering new territory as a British export. As Billboard UK puts it: “dearALICE are arguably creating one of the most compelling fantasy worlds in contemporary pop music.”
Internet star Tommy Lyon has always had an affinity for music. A former member of the boyband Here At Last, the British musician has newly stepped out on his own. His debut single ‘Live To Die’ came out in 2025, marking his new, personal chapter. His second indie-pop single ‘Ruins’ garnered huge buzz online and appeared on the Official Chart’s new music list. Now, Lyon’s is back with ‘All I’ve Known’, a warming love song he’s showcased to
his 3 million TikTok following online. A fan of Adele and Lewis Capaldi, Lyon’s music is inspired by similar emotive, thoughtful lyrics and singer-songwriter style.
Girl Group (Katya Birkeland, Lily Christlow, Thea Gundersen, Mia Halvorsen and Maria Tollisen) are doing things on their own terms. First formed during Fresher’s Week at the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts, the collective are an antidote to the boys’ club music industry, bringing their feminist energy alive onstage. Their lyrics are snappy, witty and refreshing. On ‘Flink Pike’ they slip in lines “Why can’t you girls just take the pill and move on?”, while on pop tune SuperDrug they ponder the imposed expectation of women in today’s society — plastic surgery and the never-ending standards of today. Girl Group showcase what killer, unapologetic girl bands can pull off, and just when we need it too.
Jazzie Martian is putting Nottingham back on the map. A winner of the Amex Gold Unsigned initiative in 2022, his R&B fusion sound has earned praise from NME, naming him as a “brilliant” artist to look out for. Since his monumental win, Martin has collaborated with producer Jammer and built a steady following online, balancing rap, wordplay and his spirituality.
Headliners ATEEZ is an eight-member South Korean group that has taken the world by storm immediately after their debut in October 2018. Known for standout performances that combine runway aesthetics with darker tones lined by hip-hop and electronic trap mixes, the octet have turned storytelling into a full musical experience. The eight members of ATEEZ are HONGJOONG, SEONGHWA, YUNHO, YEOSANG, SAN, MINGI, WOOYOUNG, and JONGHO. Establishing themselves as top artists early on in their career with a sold out global tour only four months after their debut, they continue to break their own records. In a unique narrative that starts from the very first release in the ‘TREASURE’ album series and continues through the ‘FEVER’ ‘THE WORLD’ and now ‘GOLDEN HOUR’ masterpieces, the group combines bestseller narratives with personalized music that speaks to their generation. The pirates of the high K-pop seas ATEEZ have made their mark as a million seller group, collecting nominations for the American Music Awards, wins at the iHeartradio Awards, and charting on the Billboard 200 and Billboard Hot 100 with multiple releases.
Headliners for BST Hyde Park 2026 also include: Garth Brooks (Saturday 27 June), Maroon 5 (Friday 3 July), Mumford & Sons (Saturday 4 July), Duran Duran (Sunday 5 July), Pitbull (Friday 10 July) and Lewis Capaldi (Saturday 11 July and Sunday 12 July).
