Sabrina Carpenter Thrills Fans by Bringing Out Duran Duran at Sold-Out BST Hyde Park Show

Sabrina Carpenter delighted fans as she brought out Duran Duran during her second sold-out headlining set at Hyde Park’s British Summer Time festival.

The 26-year-old singer took to the Great Oak Stage at the London music festival on Sunday night.

Sabrina dazzled a crowd of 65,000 people with her tongue-in-cheek lyrics, choreography, and glitzy costumes, as she belted through her hit songs.

Opening her set with Busy Woman, Sabrina went through her biggest hits from her most recent Short n’ Sweet album including Taste, Bed Chem and Please Please Please.

She packed out the festival for two nights in a row, but those who attended Sunday’s gig received an extra special treat. 

Midway through the concert, she asked the crowd to howl with her before introducing the legendary pop rock band Duran Duran to the stage.

Lead singer, Simon Le Bon, and bass guitarist John Taylor emerged to join Sabrina to sing Hungry Like The Wolf.

Introducing the band on stage, Sabrina said: ‘I also thought it might be fun if I brought out some friends of mine from the U.K. 

‘I’m going to need you guys to put that howling to good use. But everybody please give it up and make so much noise for the legendary Duran Duran.’

A host of stars turned out for the show on Sunday, including opera singer Katherine Jenkins with her husband Andrew Levitas and their daughter Aaliyah.

Katherine opted for cowboy chic as she stepped out in a denim shirt adorned with lace panelling and floral appliques, as well as jeans with a brown leather belt. 

Also in attendance on Sunday was Cara Delevingne and her sister Poppy, as they enjoyed a sibling night out. 

But Cara was left red-faced as she twisted her ankle before laughing off the trip and heading into the festival.

Cara looked as chic as ever in a pair of lace-up straight leg leather trousers, with a brown bomber jacket, mother f***er t-shirt and stiletto leather boots.

Irish actor Jamie Dornan was also spotted at the show, as he enjoyed a dad-daughter day out with one of his kids.  

Elsewhere in the show, Sabrina led the London crowd into a line dance as she sang her most recent hit single Manchild, before taking a moment to thank her fans.

She said: ‘I don’t really understand how this is possible but you guys sold out two nights, 65,000 people, at Hyde park.

‘I believe two years ago I was playing a show here for about 5,000 people and before that I was opening for many different talented artists and I was just like dreaming of this day and this moment and I am just so grateful to everybody that came here, so thank you for spending your evening with us.’

The Espresso hitmaker was welcomed on stage by fans sporting the likes of cowboy hats, platform boots and glitter – who eagerly waited for the moment to sing along with the pop star. 

She later ‘arrested’ The Bear star Ayo Edebiri and singer Clairo, in what has become a trademark introduction to her song Juno with screens showing alarms and the caption, ‘You’re under arrest for being too hot’.

Throughout the set, she also performed track favourites from her 2022 album, Emails I Can’t Send, which included Feather, Because I Liked A Boy and her viral hit Nonsense.

From dancing on a makeshift balcony to serenading a sea of flashing lights, Sabrina closed her sold-out show by serving up her hit song Espresso, complimented with a firework display.

The performance comes after the singer announced she will be releasing a new album called Man’s Best Friend later in the summer.

Sabrina gained prominence starring on the Disney Channel series Girl Meets World as a teenager and released her debut album Eyes Wide Open in 2015 on Hollywood Records.

She later signed to Island Records and released her gold-certified fifth studio album, Emails I Can’t Send, through them.

Earlier this year, she received the global success award at the 2025 Brit Awards in recognition of her breakthrough year in 2024, in which she became the first woman to simultaneously occupy the top three spots of the UK singles chart with Taste, Please Please Please, and Espresso.
