BST Hyde Park returns tomorrow (June 27) with Olivia Rodrigo headlining the first night of the much-loved London festival. The line-up also features Girl in Red, The Last Dinner Party, and viral sensation Caity Baser.
Caity, who rose to fame on TikTok, will perform on the Rainbow Stage at 6.05pm. She first went viral with unfiltered, honest songs that resonated with a young audience.
Speaking to MyLondon ahead of her set, Caity said she’s feeling overwhelmed in the best way. She said: “I'm feeling so grateful and excited and ecstatic and incredible.”

She admitted she’s just as star-struck by Olivia Rodrigo as her fans. Caity added: “I just want to say hi to her - it’d be rude not to thank someone for inviting you to their party!”
Caity is also dropping a brand new single, The Story of Her, today. The track is inspired by her mum, and tells a tale of a person’s life, complete with its ups and downs, and how it affects others around them.
She told us that her music now is much deeper than her earlier TikTok releases. Caity added: “I’ve gone through heartbreak after heartbreak - and now I’m in love. It’s completely shifted how I see the world and what I want to write about.”
This isn’t Caity’s first time at Hyde Park - she previously supported BLACKPINK at BST in 2023. She said she’s thrilled to return to the stage and perform for her London fanbase.
Caity added: “London fans? Nutters. But honestly, I love that - they match my energy.”
The TikTok star is known for her cheeky lyrics, huge personality, and relatable storytelling. She’s built significant fan engagement on platforms like TikTok (over 500k followers) and Spotify (millions of streams).
Her breakthrough came last year with her debut mixtape ‘Still Learning’, which earned the highly-acclaimed 22-year-old pop singer and songwriter a top 10 in the UK album charts and followed her nomination for the BRITs ‘Rising Star’ Award that year.
When asked about the strangest way a song has come to her, Caity didn’t hold back. She said: “I was smashed, riding a Boris bike in Brighton at 5am - wrote a song from it the next day!”
BST Hyde Park opens its gates at 1pm for early access and 2pm for general entry. Caity Baser’s set runs from 6.05pm to 6.45pm on the Rainbow Stage.
Olivia Rodrigo is set to headline the Great Oak Stage at 8.50pm, with her set running until around 10.20pm. Other acts include BETWEEN FRIENDS, flowerovlove, and The Last Dinner Party.

Viagogo and resale tickets
Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs.
Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused.
