Stevie Wonder has been named as the final headliner for this year's BST Hyde Park festival.

The Superstition singer will take to the stage in London's Hyde Park on 12 July as part of his upcoming Love, Light & Song Tour.

Wonder, 74, previously performed at the annual summer festival in 2016 and 2019. His special guests have yet to be announced.

BST Hyde Park takes place across three weekends, beginning with Olivia Rodrigo's show on 27 June and concluding with Jeff Lynne's ELO on 13 July.

The other headliners include Noah Kahan, Neil Young, Zach Bryan and Sabrina Carpenter. The latter two acts will be playing two shows each due to high demand.

Hugh Jackman had been originally announced as a headliner but he pulled out due to a scheduling conflict, after which Carpenter signed up for a second headlining set.

In addition to his BST Hyde Park show, the Isn't She Lovely hitmaker unveiled the U.K. dates for the Love, Light & Song Tour, which kicks off with a headlining performance at Lytham Festival in Lancashire, England on 3 July.

In between the two festival sets, the music legend will perform in Manchester on 5 July, Birmingham on 7 July, and Cardiff, Wales on 9 July.

He had been rumoured to play at Glastonbury this year, however, he has not been announced as a performer for the June festival.

Tickets for Wonder's BST Hyde Park show go on sale on Friday 21 March.
