SZA to headline American Express presents BST Hyde Park
American Express presents BST Hyde Park has announced that SZA will headline on Saturday 29 June, for the first Saturday of BST Hyde Park’s three weekends.
SZA established herself with a trio of spaced-out EPs and collaborations with the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Nicki Minaj, and Rihanna, and continued her ascent with her 2017 debut album, Ctrl, which resulted in five Grammy nominations, including Best New Artist. It's follow-up, SOS, released in 2022 went straight to number one on the Billboard 200, and earned the SZA three Grammy awards. This past weekend, (2 March) SZA was also crowned International Artist of the Year.
