Sabrina Carpenter thanked her loyal fans for braving a thunderstorm before her BST Hyde Park set on Sunday night (06.07.25).

The pop superstar played the second of two sold-out nights at the music festival in London and her legion of fans endured some unpredictable British weather in the afternoon but the storm clouds dissipated when Sabrina stepped out on the Great Oak Stage.

Addressing the crowd, Sabrina said: "We really turned that weather around didn't we. Raise your hand if you were damp earlier. Guys it's really, really sweet of you to wait outside, I know you're used to this because this is your land, but seriously thank you, that means so much to me."

Sabrina opened her set with Busy Woman, Taste and Good Graces and her latest single Manchild prompted a huge sing-a-long and dance-a-long in the crowd.

The 26-year-old singer also brought out special guests Duran Duran for a rendition of the band's 1982 single Hungry Like the Wolf but before she introduced Simon Le Bon and John Taylor she insisted the crowd all howled like wolves.

Sabrina's duet with Duran Duran prompted a sea of smartphones in the air as fans wanted to capture the unique moment.

Sabrina - who was photographed by Jordan Hughes and Alfredo Flores - was in a very chatty mood all evening and thanked her fans for making her a headliner, just two years after she supported BLACKPINK at BST Hyde Park in 2023.

Before singing Coincidence, she said: "I thought you were going to be more sarcastic.

"I've been told your humour is very dry and that's why I love it here.

"London, I actually don't understand how this is possible but you guys sold out two nights, 65,000 people at Hyde Park.

"I believe two years ago I was playing a show here for about 5,000 people and before that I was opening for many different talented artists and I was just, like, dreaming of this day and this moment. I am just so grateful for everybody who came here."

Sabrina made fun of her risqué reputation on stage by flashing parental guidance warnings on screen but she still provided a jaw-dropping moment as she frolicked with her dancers on a bed for Bed Chem, which included a dance interlude to Pony by Ginuwine.

Sabrina sent fans home happy with her final run of songs which included Juno, Please Please Please and Don't Smile - which she performed on a crane above the crowd.

She closed her show with smash hit single Espresso complete with fireworks lighting up the London night sky.

American Express presents BST Hyde Park continues this week with sporting event PDC Presents Hyde Park Darts on Tuesday (08.07.25), Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts on Friday (11.07.25), Stevie Wonder on Saturday (12.07.25) and Jeff Lynne's ELO on Sunday (13.07.25).

Other highlights at the event include The House of Peroni which brings a premium taste of the Amalfi coastline and blissful Italian shores to Hyde Park, the Casamigos Tequila cocktail bar and funfair rides.

Peroni Nastro Azzurro is the official beer partner for BST Hyde Park and its owners - Asahi UK - is also serving up a range of its brands at the iconic London festival including Cornish Orchards Cider, Grolsch and Asahi Super Dry 0.0 percent for those looking for a quality tasting beer without alcohol.
