There will also be two smaller stages featuring the likes of The Coronas, Kingfisher, First Time Flyers and more. 

What’s the rest of the BST Hyde Park 2023 lineup?

With the festival well underway, we’ve already seen headline shows by Take That, Blackpink, Guns ‘n’ Roses and P!NK. Still to go are Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen and Lana Del Rey. 

What time does British Summer Time at Hyde Park finish?

Bruce’s set is due to finish at 10.20pm. 

What are the reviews saying?

According to fans who were at the show last night, The Boss definitely still has it. Strutting about in a pair of cherry red Doc Martens, Bruce might be 73 years old, but he was exuding star power – and sex appeal. 

The official reviews agree. The Telegraph wrote that Bruce was ‘at the peak of his powers’, while The Independent called his five-star BST show a ‘generation-defining performance’. 

Where else is Bruce Springsteen touring in the UK?

Sadly, BST Hyde Park is Bruce's final UK show. After playing the Big Smoke, he'll be jetting off to Copenhagen to continue the European leg of his tour.
