Robbie Williams headlined BST Hyde Park on Saturday, delivering a performance that he described as his happiest ever. The 50-year-old singer, who last played the festival in 2019, arrived on stage after an elaborate entrance featuring Beefeaters, dancers, and EastEnders actor Danny Dyer. The show came shortly after England's Euro 2024 victory over Switzerland, which Williams celebrated with the crowd.
During the concert, Williams reflected on his career, including his departure from Take That in 1995 and his transformative Glastonbury appearance that same year. He performed covers of Oasis's 'Don't Look Back in Anger' and Supergrass's 'Alright', with Supergrass frontman Gaz Coombes joining him on stage. The highlight was Danny Dyer chanting Blur's 'Parklife' alongside a 44-strong brass band of Coldstream and Welsh Guards.
Williams dedicated the song 'Love My Life' to his wife Ayda Field and their four children, who watched from above. He also performed hits including 'Let Me Entertain You', 'Rock DJ', 'Feel', and 'Angels', showcasing his enduring popularity. The singer repeatedly expressed his contentment, telling the audience, 'This is the most happy and most chilled out I’ve been before a show, ever.'
