The wait is finally over for UK country fans. After nearly three decades away from British concert stages, Garth Brooks returns to London today (June 27) to headline BST Hyde Park in what promises to be one of the biggest country music events the UK has seen in years.
Brooks tops a packed country-heavy bill featuring Zac Brown Band, Ashley McBryde, The Shires, Alexandra Kay, Jackson Dean, Leah Blevins, Mae Estes, McGrath and more across the Hyde Park stages.
What time does Garth Brooks take the stage?
According to the official BST Hyde Park schedule, Brooks is due on the Great Oak Stage at 8.40pm and is expected to perform until around 10.20pm. Gates open at 2pm for general admission ticket holders, while Primary Entry and VIP guests can enter from approximately 1pm. Last entry is 8.30pm.

What songs is Garth Brooks likely to play?
While every Garth Brooks show is different, recent festival appearances suggest fans can expect a career-spanning set packed with classics. Songs performed during a recent US festival appearance included:
- Rodeo
- The River
- The Thunder Rolls
- Unanswered Prayers
- Callin’ Baton Rouge
- Friends in Low Places
- The Dance

alongside a handful of crowd-pleasing cover versions.
For many UK fans, hearing “Friends in Low Places”, “The Dance” and “The Thunder Rolls” live will be a once-in-a-generation opportunity. Brooks has not played a full concert in England for more than 30 years, making today’s BST Hyde Park appearance one of the most significant country music events of 2026.
