Doves announced as second artist in live Music Week line up 05
May

By Regent's Park Open Air Theatre

Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre in partnership with Communion ONE today announces Doves will perform on Friday 25 September as part of the Live Music Week running from 22 September – 27 September 2026. They join the previously announced Echo & The Bunnymen who are opening the week, with further artists to be announced. A curated concert series celebrating the finest talent of today — from legendary icons to rising stars — set against the breathtaking backdrop of Regent’s Park.

Inspiration is seldom elusive and motivation rarely fades for Doves as the boundary-clearing alchemists of yearning, scenic alternative sound return with their sixth studio album, 25 years after they arrived with their Mercury Award-nominated debut.

Tested yet undiminished, the three members’ artistic impulses quietly raged on following 2020’s third No.1 album success of The Universal Want, getting to work almost immediately afterwards. Five years on, a baton passes to Constellations For The Lonely, ten new tracks of enkindled, future-facing, meticulous manipulation of mood.

Tickets for Doves go on sale for Members’ priority booking at 10am on Wednesday 6 May with general on sale at 10am on Friday 8 May. Become a member today.
