Elle King

More special guests announced for Shania Twain’s BST Hyde Park headline show

by
American Express presents BST Hyde Park welcomes global superstar Shania Twain on Sunday 7 July for her BST Hyde Park debut. With summer just around the corner, we’re delighted to announce that Anne-Marie, Elle King and Natalie Imbruglia will be joining the queen of country pop. They join previously announced special guests The Corrs, with more names to be added to the all-female bill. Let’s Go Girls!
Tickets for this unforgettable show are now available at www.bst-hydepark.com and general admission tickets are running low.

The UK’s own Anne-Marie’s rise to stardom has been nothing short of meteoric. A former 3x world karate champion and West End child star turned multi-platinum-selling artist, Anne-Marie has gone on to become one of the world’s most-loved and successful pop stars of our time. She’s known for her chart-topping hits ‘Friends,’ ‘Alarm,’ ‘Ciao Adios’, and ‘2002,’ and has collaborated with everyone from Aitch to David Guetta. Last year, she stunned fans worldwide when she and Shania Twain released the pop banger of the summer ‘Unhealthy’, taken from her album of the same name, which shot into the UK charts at No.2.

Multi-Platinum artist Elle King first gained widespread recognition with her debut album Love Stuff, which featured the hit single ‘Ex’s & Oh’s.’ She released her critically-acclaimed second album Shake The Spirit in 2018 featuring the lead single and King’s fourth radio No. 1 hit ‘Shame’. King’s incredibly powerful voice and signature style, with elements of rock, blues, country, and pop, means she’s impossible to miss and we are so excited to welcome her to BST Hyde Park.  

Another artist with pure star power joins this bill. Natalie Imbruglia, known for her smash hit ‘Torn’, first rose to fame in 1997 with her debut album Left of the Middle. She continued to find success with albums like White Lilies Island and Counting Down the Days. Alongside her incredible music career, she ventured into acting and TV, including a stint as a judge on The X Factor. After a hiatus, she returned to music in 2015 with ‘Male’, a collection of covers, followed by her original album Firebird in 2021. With these three joining Shania’s all female bill alongside The Corrs, BST Hyde Park is in for a very special day of music.

Speaking of her Hyde Park show, Shania Twain says: “I’ve seen so many of my own musical heroes headlining at Hyde Park and have wonderful summer memories there. It is a real privilege to headline my own show this year. It’s going to be a s**t-kicking party!”

Shania Twain, a household name for over three decades and “the Queen of Country Pop,” has left an indelible mark on the face of modern music. With a career spanning from her debut in the early ’90s to her continued success today, Twain is a multi-platinum, Grammy-winning artist and one of the most celebrated performers of our time.

Boasting over 100 million album sales worldwide, Twain is one of the best-selling music artists of all time and the best-selling female artist in country music history. She’s known for undeniably brilliant hits like ‘Man! I Feel Like a Woman!’, ‘That Don’t Impress Me Much’, and ‘You’re Still the One’. With Twain’s unmistakable voice and irresistible sing-along hits, it’s going to be an electrifying night at BST Hyde Park.

Twain’s influence extends beyond music, with her memoir, From This Moment On, and her residency in Las Vegas, proving her impact on the entertainment world as a whole. As a global icon, Shania Twain’s performance at BST Hyde Park will be a highlight of the summer.

Special guests The Corrs will head to BST Hyde Park on Sunday 7 July. The Corrs are Ireland’s first family of music, a multi-million selling sibling quartet who have conquered the world with a seamless blend of sleek pop rock, lush harmonies and Celtic folk trimmings. Comprising Andrea (lead vocals, piano, tin whistle), Sharon (violin, piano, vocals), Caroline (drums, piano, vocals) and Jim (guitar, keyboards, vocals), The Corrs have sold over 40 million albums since their debut Forgiven Not Forgotten in 1995, spawning a dozen classic hit singles.

The lineup for American Express presents BST Hyde Park 2024 is set to be truly spectacular, with headliners SZA (29 June), Kings of Leon (30 June), Morgan Wallen (4 July), Andrea Bocelli (5 July), Robbie Williams (6 July), Shania Twain (7 July), Stevie Nicks (12 July), Kylie (13 July) and Stray Kids (14 July), with the full line up for each day to be announced, plus All Things Orchestral on 28 June.
This announcement follows the tremendous success of BST Hyde Park 2023, featuring legendary acts such as P!NK, Guns N’ Roses, Take That, BLACKPINK, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Billy Joel, and Lana Del Rey.

Elle King, The Hearts and more join T in the Park 2015 lineup

by
The Fancy Dress Friday theme has also been revealed, and in homage to the festival’s picturesque new setting Strathallan Castle, fans will be encouraged to dress up to the theme of theUltimate Fairy Tale – think King or Queen, Knight or Jester, Dragon or Fairy. 
 
Singer-songwriter The Beach released debut single Thieves earlier this year, capturing the attention of BBC Radio 1’s Annie Mac (and her predecessor Zane Lowe), receiving airplay on the station. His gorgeous melodies meld epic crescendos and raw emotion. Widely hailed as one to watch, he is one of the most exciting singer-songwriter talents to emerge in recent years.
 
Elle King is an American recording artist whose musical style encompasses country, soul, folk, rock, and blues. Born in Ohio and raised in Brooklyn, Elle retains her roots in a style that blends those worlds of both grit and mid-western charm. She’s toured with Of Monsters and Men, Ed Sheeran, and James Bay, and ties her old soul and rock 'n' roll influences into a sound that’s all her own.
 
Belfast four-piece And So I Watch You From Afar also make their T in the Park debut this summer. The band released their fourth album Heirs earlier this month – a work of intense focus and adventurous abandon that reaches to the heart of artistic expression, packed with anthemic melodies and infectious hooks.
 
After 20 stellar years with Feeder – including 8 gold and platinum albums and over 3 million album sales – frontman Grant Nicholas appears as a solo artist. His debut solo record Yorktown Heightsevoked the carefree spirit of Laurel Canyon in the ‘70’s while also sounding bang up to date – ambitious, largely acoustic, and full of head-spinning melodies. Its follow-up – the six-track mini-album Black Clouds, was released last month.
 
Welsh buzz band The Hearts have supported the likes of Paul Weller and Arcade Fire. They released a 2 track EP Run Free at the start of the year, with lead track Lips receiving major airplay on Radio 1 and XFM, and are one to watch at this year’s T in the Park.
 
Organisers have also revealed that the Slam Tent will be open on the Thursday night, with Animal Farm, Clouds and Ben Sims taking to the decks to get the party well and truly started.
 
With some of the biggest names in music heading for Scotland this summer, T in the Park’s debut outing at Strathallan Castle is shaping up to be an unmissable weekend over 10th – 12th July.
