Buble’s headline slot at the festival marks his return to performing following a career break while his son battled cancer.
He and actress wife Luisana Lopilato announced their eldest son Noah, then three, had been diagnosed with cancer in November 2016.
The entertainer joins fellow headliners Roger Waters, Bruno Mars, The Cure, Eric Clapton and Paul Simon in the BST festival series at Hyde Park across July.
Bananarama’s Siobhan Fahey said: “British Summer Time at Hyde Park has become such an important part of the year. To be included in this year’s line-up alongside so many wonderful acts is just joyous.”
