James King, Executive Vice President Live Music, AEG Presents, said of the announcement: "Over the past ten years Florence Welch has rightfully cemented herself as one of the UK's finest performers. Her unforgettable live shows go from strength to strength with every passing tour. It's a delight to welcome her back onto the Great Oak Stage at Barclaycard presents British Summer Time 2019 for what's certain to be a phenomenal homecoming show.

"Joining Florence will be The National, another amazing band at the top of their game, as I'm sure anyone who saw them headline this years' All Points East will agree. These two incredible artists will be joined by one of the strongest bills we have assembled for BST Hyde Park. It will be a magical day."

Tickets for Florence + the Machine, priced from £65, are available on Barclaycard presale now and will go on general sale on Friday (07.12.18).
