Boy band Ateez will headline the British Summer Time Hyde Park concert series, better known as BST Hyde Park, on June 28, according to its agency KQ Entertainment on Tuesday.
The annual event, held at Hyde Park in London every summer since 2013, is one of Europe's premier outdoor music events. Past headliners include Taylor Swift, Adele, Justin Bieber, Kendrick Lamar, Olivia Rodrigo, Lana Del Rey and Sabrina Carpenter. This year's lineup also features Garth Brooks, Maroon 5, Mumford & Sons, Duran Duran, Pitbull and Lewis Capaldi.
The appearance adds to an already crowded festival resume for the eight-member act. In 2024, Ateez became the first K-pop boy band to perform at Coachella and the first K-pop act ever invited to headline Morocco's Mawazine festival. It also performed at Summer Sonic 2024, one of Asia's largest urban music festivals.
Ateez wrapped up its “In Your Fantasy” world tour last year, staged across 12 cities in North America, three in Japan and nine in Asia and Australia between July 2024 and March 2025.

The band debuted under KQ Entertainment in October 2018 with its first EP, “Treasure EP.1: All to Zero.” The octet, comprising Hongjoong, Seonghwa, Yunho, Yeosang, San, Mingi, Wooyoung and Jongho, is best known for hits such as “Wonderland” (2019), “Answer” (2020) and “Deja Vu” (2021).
