The final headliner for this year’s BTS Hyde Park has been announced as none other than soul legend Stevie Wonder.

He will take to the stage in front of thousands alongside a lineup that includes other megastars like Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo.

Wonder, 74, will appear as part of the LOVE, LIGHT & SONG UK performances on July 12, with tickets set to go on sale at 10am GMT on Friday 21, March. 

However, for fans who are particularly keen to secure tickets, the Amex presale begins at 10am GMT on Monday, 17 March.

Some of Wonder’s many hits include Isn’t She Lovely? and I Just Called To Say I Love You.

The musician became the youngest-ever artist to top the Billboard H๏τ 100 in 1963 when he was just 12 years old with his single Fingertips.

Wonder’s glittering career has seen him collaborate with music legends like the late Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney. 

He has had a staggering 32 number-one singles and sold over 100 million albums worldwide. 

His appearance on July 12 will be his third on the Hyde Park stage, having previously appeared on the Great Oak Stage twice. 

The H๏τly anticipated event features, in full, Olivia Rodrigo (27 June), Zach Bryan (28 & 29 June), Noah Kahan (4 July), Sabrina Carpenter (5 & 6 July) and Jeff Lynne’s ELO (13 July). 

The venue has a mega capacity of 65,000 people, making it London’s largest live music venue. 

More exciting announcements about one of the capital’s most exciting musical festivals are set to be made soon.

The headliners are joined by other artists on a series of smaller stages throughout the festival which features a funfair and many food and drink options. 

BTS Hyde Park had a similarly impressive line-up in 2024, featuring a mixture of both current megastars and true music legends like Stevie Nicks, who coincidentally also took to the stage on July 12. 

Wonder has been a music legend for decades, having secured the first of many number one singles when he was just 12 years old with ‘Fingertips’

News of Wonder’s headlining spot at BTS Hyde Park comes after it was claimed that he was in advanced talks to also headline Glastonbury this year. 

A source told The Sun: ‘Emily was so close to securing Stevie last year. The deal was basically done and his name was put on to the draft posters.

‘When it fell apart because of his schedule, it was a nightmare for everyone involved – and Stevie was gutted. 

‘There is now the chance he could come back next summer to headline the Pyramid Stage. Talks are ongoing.’ 

MailOnline has previously contacted Wonder’s representatives for comment. 

Tickets for BTS Hyde Park start at £79.95 plus booking fees.
