Those that bought tickets to last year's Pearl Jam BST Hyde Park show will have priority access to rebook and experience both shows with a two-day ticket.

Jim King, CEO of European Festivals at AEG Presents, says, "We couldn't be happier to be back and we can’t wait to bring everyone together with BST Hyde Park 2021, for what could be the most memorable British Summer Time ever… Pearl Jam jumped at the chance to celebrate after having to cancel their show this year and we are honoured that they agreed to play two consecutive nights, a first for BST. As their fans know, they are the perfect artists for such an unprecedented double bill."
