9 hours ago

Following his groundbreaking appearance at Coachella, legendary K-pop icon and solo star Taemin has safely conquered the United Kingdom, delivering a flawless, high-energy festival stage in London. On the afternoon of June 28, 2026 (local time), the multi-talented performer took over the main stage of Britain’s premier summer music festival, BST Hyde Park (British Summer Time Hyde Park), solidifying his undeniable presence as a top-tier global artist.

Dominating the Great Oak Stage for 40 Minutes

Stepping onto the festival’s massive “Great Oak Stage” at exactly 3:30 PM, Taemin treated a packed, cheering crowd to an exclusive 40-minute solo show. Invited as one of the definitive artists of this year’s lineup, the singer drew passionate screams from local music fans who gathered early in the afternoon to witness his famous performance skills and artistic live stage production.

Taemin perfectly structured his 10-song setlist, showcasing everything from his iconic past masterpieces to fresh music. He kicked off the afternoon by introducing his brand-new digital single, “PERMISSION,” before sliding into a heavy rotation of his most successful, boundary-pushing hits.

The crowd danced and sang along to a beautiful balance of smooth pop, heavy hip-hop, and deep electronic production:

“Sexy In The Air” and “WANT”
“Criminal” and his definitive solo anthem “MOVE”
“Guilty” and the physically demanding choreography of “Advice”
“IDEA”, “Let Me Be The One”, and a spectacular performance of “1004”

A Global Run: From America to Europe

This successful London run serves as another massive trophy in Taemin’s historic 2026 global tour schedule. This past April, he grabbed international headlines by becoming the very first Korean male solo artist to perform a full official set at the famous Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in the United States. Taking over a massive British open-air stadium just two months later safely proves his unmatched position as a globally respected pop dancer and singer.

An official representative from his management agency, Galaxy Corporation, shared their deep excitement following the afternoon show:

“Following our incredible milestone at Coachella in the United States, it was highly meaningful to connect deeply with thousands of music fans on the iconic outdoor stage of Hyde Park in London. Moving completely past the boundaries of traditional music genres, Taemin will continue to expand his global presence and unique artistry through even more international projects later this year.”

Now celebrating its 11th year as a staple of the European summer season, BST Hyde Park is famous for bringing the world’s absolute top musical acts directly to the heart of London. This year’s massive lineup saw Taemin sharing the festival grounds alongside fellow K-pop icons ATEEZ (who served as the day’s ultimate headliner), country icon Garth Brooks, pop group Maroon 5, and indie-rock legends Mumford & Sons, safely cementing his spot among the true giants of modern music.
