American country superstar Zach Bryan brought his signature brand of heartfelt anthems and raw energy to a sold-out American Express presents BST Hyde Park for a second consecutive night. Day Three of the festival saw 65,000 fans pack the Great Oak Stage to witness the 29-year-old Oklahoma native deliver another unforgettable "country party."
Taking the stage to a roaring crowd after an intro featuring "Don't Look Back In Anger" and "The Star-Spangled Banner," Bryan, clad in a blue denim shirt and black jeans, dove straight into his hit "Overtime." He expressed his gratitude, telling the audience he felt like "the luckiest man in the world" to be performing on the iconic stage.
The hit parade continued with "Dawns," "Motorcycle Drive By," "Starved," and "American Nights," each met with a chorus of voices echoing through the park. A highlight of the night saw Bryan invite an enthusiastic fan, Michaela, on stage for a special duet of "Tourniquet." As the sun began to set, "Pink Skies" provided the perfect soundtrack. Bryan proudly declared, "Country music is just about the most beautiful thing in the entire world."
A pinnacle moment arrived when Dublin singer-songwriter Dermot Kennedy joined Bryan for a powerful rendition of "Hey Driver." Bryan lauded Kennedy as "one of the kindest men I've ever met," adding, "He sings it ten times better than I ever could." Earlier in the set, supporting artist Noeline Hofmann also joined Bryan for "Purple Gas."
The two-hour set culminated in a spectacular big-band extravaganza, complete with country dancing, fireworks, and the epic "Revival," leaving the Hyde Park faithful buzzing. Bryan took time to introduce his impressive 19-strong band, whose diverse origins spanned from Oologah, Oklahoma to California, New York City, and Texas.
The day’s stellar lineup showcased a wealth of talent across multiple stages. Dermot Kennedy delivered a captivating performance, with his "jaw-dropping vocals" leaving the crowd wide-eyed during tracks like "Innocence and Sadness," while hits like "Power Over Me" and "Glory" drew enthusiastic screams. Having begun his career busking, Kennedy expressed profound humility and gratitude to the sold-out audience.
Turnpike Troubadours opened their set with the "country waltz" of "The Bird Hunters," showcasing their class before galloping into "Every Girl" and a "ferocious" "Before the Devil Knows We're Dead." Singer Evan Felker remarked on the impressive sight of so many people singing along in London.
Willow Avalon moved up the bill for her second Great Oak Stage performance of the weekend, delighting the "sizzling crowd" with "Something We Regret" and the "springy" "Homewrecker." Country newcomer Gabriella Rose made her Hyde Park debut, sporting a sequin Union Jack on her outfit and performing tracks like "Money Makes the Heart Go 'Round."
Kentucky country-rock band Ole 60 gathered a large audience at The Rainbow Stage, while Canadian Noeline Hofmann delivered "back-to-back country tunes." Other notable performances included Waylon Wyatt (who invited Willow Avalon for a collaboration), Bo Staloch, Angel White, and 17-year-old Jasper Hodges.
BST Hyde Park continues its incredible run, with upcoming headliners including Olivia Rodrigo, Noah Kahan, Sabrina Carpenter, Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts, Stevie Wonder, and Jeff Lynne’s ELO.
