Zac Brown Band and Ashley McBryde Announced as Support for Garth Brooks’ 2026 BST Hyde Park Concert

The line-up for Garth Brooks’ blockbuster 2026 BST Hyde Park concert is heating up, with two country chart-toppers confirmed as joining the ‘90s icon on June 27th next year.

Zac Brown Band and Ashley McBryde have been unveiled as the first two openers for Brooks, with the full roster of performers across all the stages still to be fully announced.

It marks a triumphant return for Zac Brown Band, who headlined the UK's C2C Festival in 2023, and who are gearing up to drop their eagerly anticipated new album, Love & Fear, next month. The ‘Chicken Fried’ legends are coinciding the drop date by becoming the second country artist to headline Sphere Las Vegas after Kenny Chesney.

Similarly to Zac and his crew, Ashley McBryde has cultivated a strong relationship with her fans across The Pond, performing at London's iconic Royal Albert Hall earlier this year as part of the Grand Ole Opry's momentous 100-year celebration.

Brooks will be the latest in a storied line of country-leaning heavyweights to take the stage at BST Hyde Park, following the likes of Morgan Wallen, Zach Bryan and many more.

It'll mark the ‘Friends in Low Places’ hitmaker's first show in the UK in almost 30 years, with Brooks joined on the 2026 BST Hyde Park line-up by Maroon 5, Pitbull and Lewis Capaldi, with more big-name artists set to be added in the coming months.
