Robbie Williams at Hyde Park: predicted set list, banned items & last-minute tickets for Robbie’s only UK show

• Robbie Williams plays his only UK show this year as part of BST Hyde Park this weekend (July 6 2024.)
• The former Take That singer is set to be joined by the likes of ​​Seal, Gaz Coombes, Shaun Ryder's Black Grape, Kate Nash and Soft Play.
• To avoid drama before entering the festival gates, what should you not bring with you - including a standard picnic item?

This weekend marks Robbie Williams’ first and only UK performance in 2024, as he takes to the stage in London for BST Hyde Park.

The former Take That star has a clutch of festival dates throughout the remainder of the years, but many of those are across mainland Europe, leaving Robbie fans to decide if they’re going to see him in London, or maybe with it being summer take the chance to see him perform on the continent.

The organisers of the event have boasted that Williams is expected to have many special guests supporting him this year, including soul legend Seal, Supergrass’ Gaz Coombes, Shaun Ryder’s Black Grape, Kate Nash and Soft Play. 

But those names are also set to be complimented throughout the event by other names such as James Smith, Ellur, Davina Michelle, Ryan Gibb and Ben Kidson to round out this Saturday’s offering in London.

As always, a strict bag policy will be in place ahead of entering the gates to BST Hyde Park, but some items that are prohibited might surprise you, especially one picnic item that has some rules regarding its use. 

So what can and can’t you bring to Robbie Williams’ performance at BST Hyde Park this weekend and will he play “Angels” by chance? 

What items should I not bring to see Robbie Williams at BST Hyde Park?

The usual suspects once again appear on the banned and prohibited items list for Robbie Williams’ performance at Hyde Park this weekend, but an additional note to make is that there is a no pass-out policy at the event. 

That means once you’re inside the surroundings of Hyde Park for the show, you won’t be able to nip out the festival gates and re-enter. So pack wisely and, of course, avoid bringing these items. 

• Golf umbrellas or parasols.
• Chairs, seats, shooting sticks and table.
• Food and drink, except bottled water in unopened plastic containers of up to 500ml
• Air horns.

There will be a strict bag check enforced at the gates to BST Hyde Park, with organisers citing that an A4-sized bag is fine, but anything more may be confiscated. 

There will also be a strict “no picnic blanket” zone to ensure foot traffic is kept at a steady pace, and BST Hyde Park has also stated that “you cannot claim a spot with a picnic blanket (or similar) and leave it unattended.”
