The musician said in a statement: ”It’s my first time doing a show in beautiful Hyde Park. I’m so excited. I love London, and it’s a great honour for me to be part of the Barclaycard presents BST Hyde Park concerts. I can’t wait. Summertime in London, here we come!”

James King, senior vice president of AEG Presents, the organisation behind BST, said: “Celine’s record-breaking career has seen her perform her many iconic songs on the globe’s most iconic stages, yet never before in Hyde Park.”
“It is therefore with the utmost excitement that we are bringing Celine Dion to Hyde Park for her only European show of 2019.”
