This year, the festival starts on July 5 and comes to an end on July 14.
Since its inception, BST has earned itself a reputation for booking the highest calibre headline performers, and this year is no different.
Here’s all of the British Summer Time headline acts for 2019, in case you were still making up your mind as to whether or not to go…
Celine Dion – 5 July
Kicking off the festival will be none other than the iconic Celine Dion.
Headlining on the opening night, Celine is sure to set the BST off with a bang, with support from Josh Groban and Claire Richards.
Known for a few little ol’ songs like The Power Of Love, It’s All Coming Back To Me Now and, the eternal banger, My Heart Will Go On.
Stevie Wonder – 6 July
As if it isn’t enough to have 25-time Grammy Award-winner Stevie Wonder grace the BST stage, the festival has also confirmed that 80’s legend Lionel Richie will be playing on the same day.
Barbra Streisand – 7 July
Clearly starting as they mean to go on, BST have booked Barbra Streisand to headline the following day.
Babs has won two Oscars, nine Golden Globes, ten Grammy Awards, five Emmy Awards, and a Special Tony Award in her time, and she’s lost none of her talent with time.
Bob Dylan and Neil Young – 12 July
The festival will carry on the following weekend with a set from none other than Bob Dylan – iconic folk poet who influenced an untold number of people through his music, and who, in 2016, won the Nobel Prize in Literature for, as the organisation itself put it, ‘having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.’
If, for some unholy reason, that doesn’t float your boat, then worry not, because two-time inductee of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Neil Young will be playing the same day.
Florence + The Machine and The National – 13 July
This genre-bending ensemble, led by Florence Welch and her powerful voice, is a prime example of indie talent big enough to take the world by storm.
They’ve been topping the charts since their first album was released in 2009, and they’re not showing any signs of slowing down.
They’ll be joined by fellow indie rock superstars The National, whose Grammy Award-winning sound has been compared to the likes of Nic Dave & the Bad Seeds, Joy Division and Depeche Mode.
Robbie Williams – 14 July
To close out the festival will be Robbie Williams, Take That alum, one of the best-selling musicians of all time, having sold 75 million records all over the world.
On top of that, he’s also the best-selling British solo artist in the UK, and the best selling non-Latino artist in Latin America.
And how could all those numbers lie?
