Take That have been confirmed as the latest headliners of BST Hyde Park 2023.

The boy band will perform their only show of 2023 at the annual central London concert series on July 1, with The Script and Sugababes providing support. “We’re so excited to be back together and that BST Hyde Park will be the first stage we perform on in almost four years,” the group said in a statement. 

“We have incredible memories of playing there in 2016, and we can’t wait to see everyone in July.”

The Greatest Day hitmakers join Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Billy Joel, P!nk and BLACKPINK on the line-up, with shows running throughout the summer. 

Tickets go on general sale from 10 am BST on November 3.

Frontman Gary Barlow recently revealed he, Mark Owen and Howard Donald have been working on new music, for an album that will serve as the follow-up to 2017’s ‘Wonderland’.

Speaking of the LP, which has a 2023 release date, he said: “We’ve kind of started already. We’ve learnt to work remotely because we live in different parts of the world.

“So I’ll send off a chorus and say, ‘Let me know what you think, lads’, then it will be back a few days later and it’s had a little more written on it.

“You’ll hear a single just before the summer next year and the album will be released around October. And the following year we’ve put the whole of it aside for a world tour. 

“We haven’t done a world tour for years. So we will take this new record everywhere and there will be a few surprise places that we haven’t toured before.”

In addition to the new music, Take That have a movie coming out, ‘Greatest Days’, and Gary insists the trio have a lot left they want to achieve together.

He adds: “We’re feeling ambitious and ready for hard work. Music isn’t about repetition, so we always want to feel like we are moving forward and chasing new dreams.

“We’ve done a lot as Take That but we haven’t achieved everything we want to achieve. I believe we have years to go yet.”
