On Tuesday (November 25), event organizers announced that Zac Brown Band and Ashley McBryde will be the special guest opening acts for Garth Brooks’ highly-anticipated 2026 BST Hyde Park concert on June 27, marking the country music superstar’s first UK show in nearly 30 years. Zac Brown Band recently headlined the UK’s C2C Festival and are set to release their new album, Love & Fear, on December 5, while McBryde joins the lineup fresh off her high-profile performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall for the Grand Ole Opry’s centennial celebration. Brooks’ Hyde Park show joins the 2026 summer concert series lineup which already includes Maroon 5, Pitbull, and Lewis Capaldi, and continues the recent tradition of performances by country artists at the annual event, which includes past appearances by Zach Bryan and Morgan Wallen. Additional acts are set to be announced in the coming weeks. (Holler)
