Elton joins a list of already-announced stars for BST 2022 that includes consecutive shows, an event first, by Pearl Jam on July 8 and 9, as first scheduled for this year. Pixies will guest at the first of those dates, with another major guest to be announced for the second as well as many other artists on the bill. Duran Duran will play their show on July 10 with guests Nile Rodgers & Chic and Grace Jones.

Jim King, CEO of European Festivals at AEG Presents, says: “BST Hyde Park has always stood for the world’s biggest and most loved artists bringing not just a performance but a truly one-off and memorable event. Elton John has provided the soundtrack to the lives of so many of us and to know that his last tour is coming to Hyde Park, possibly the last time many of us will ever see him play, is one of the most important and ‘must see’ nights of BST Hyde Park ever.”

Another feature of British Summer Time next year will be the launch of the Hard Rock Stage and entertainment area, to mark Hard Rock’s 50th anniversary and the rich history of Hard Rock Calling festival in Hyde Park. Features will include a pop-up Hard Rock Cafe experience, Hard Rock Stage viewing areas, a showcase of Hard Rock’s music memorabilia collection, a retail location, and other unique experiences for visitors to the festival site.
