The Hyde Park Darts Championship will be returning this summer, taking place at BST Hyde Park for 2026 and starring Luke Humphries, Fallon Sherrock and many more.
The annual summer series is best known for its musical performances, and this year will have a stacked line-up including Garth Brooks (June 27), ATEEZ (June 28), Maroon 5 (July 3), Mumford & Sons (July 4), Duran Duran (July 5) Pitbull (July 10) and Lewis Capaldi (July 11 and 12).
In addition to its music programme, organisers also present a number of other live events, including days dedicated to sports and wellness. Returning for this year will be The Hyde Park Darts Championship – a PDC Pro-Am tournament featuring top stars from the sport.
Taking place this year will be professionals Luke Humphries, Fallon Sherrock, Nathan Aspinall and Stephen Bunting, with each paired with a celebrity teammate.
The special celebrity guests include broadcaster AJ Odudu, sports presenter Emma Paton, YouTuber Behzinga and presenter Joe Swash, who is back to defend his joint-title with Sherrock.
Luke Humphries – aka ‘Cool Hand Luke’ – has enjoyed a huge rise to prominence since winning his first TV title at the 2023 World Grand Prix, following up with Grand Slam of Darts and Players Championship Finals success before a famous victory at Alexandra Palace in January 2024.
‘Queen of the Palace’ Fallon Sherrock changed darts history when she became the first woman to defeat a man at the PDC World Darts Championship, and remains a major force in 2026 having ended Beau Greaves’ incredible 114-match winning streak on the PDC Women’s Series.
A former UK Open and World Matchplay champion, ‘The Asp’ Nathan Aspinall has enjoyed another strong spell across 2025 by claiming multiple European Tour titles and reaching the Premier League play-offs. Aspinall has also reached the quarter-finals of the 2026 PDC World Championship and continues to sit inside the world’s top 15 on the PDC Order of Merit.
The former BDO World Champion, ‘The Bullet’ Stephen Bunting, has become a fan favourite on the PDC circuit and enjoyed a standout 2024 and 2025 campaign, including strong runs in major televised events and a return to the Premier League. Bunting climbed back into the world’s top 10 during 2026 and remained a regular feature in the latter stages of major tournaments.
Tickets go on sale this Friday (May 29) at 12pm BST and you can find yours here. The event will be played out on BST Hyde Park’s famous Great Oak Stage.
“We’re delighted to see The Hyde Park Darts Championship return following the huge success of last year’s event,” said PDC Chief Executive Matthew Porter. “Having some of the sport’s biggest stars involved alongside well-known celebrity names creates a fantastic atmosphere and introduces darts to a wider audience in a unique setting.
“The Great Oak Stage provides an iconic backdrop for the event and we’re looking forward to another memorable evening as part of BST Hyde Park Open House.”
