She hid her eyes behind dark sunglasses and wrapped a thick scarf around her, despite the UK heatwave.
Kate toted her belongings in a large shoulder bag and accessorised with a quirky gold eye ring.
She was spotted enjoying a few beers with pals and puffing on a red vape while watching Neil headline the event from the VIP area.

The picture of Kate holding a beer and vape contrasts sharply with her recent image of healthy living. In the past, she was known as ‘The Tank’ by her friends due to her fondness for various substances.
She recently sparked concern among her fanbase after being filmed looking ‘fraught’ and ‘on edge’ as she sat front row at Paris Fashion Week.
It was believed that Kate quit drinking alcohol in 2017, opting instead for juice cleanses and reformer Pilates. She even launched her own line of teas and skincare products through her beauty and wellness brand, Cosmoss.
And while she has long struggled to give up her nicotine habit, just two years ago Kate – once hailed the ‘greatest smoker of all time’ – was seen puffing away on a vape in an attempt to give up the cigarettes.
Back in January, Kate was reportedly planning a huge boozy birthday bash to celebrate her 51st birthday following her split from boyfriend of nine years, Nikolai von Bismarck , 38.
Kate, who lived in the Cotswolds with teetotal photographer Nikolai, apperently decided at the time that she ‘wants to let her hair down’ to mark her birthday with her famous pals.
A source told The Sun: ‘Last year, she celebrated her 50th at an intimate soiree in Paris, which was fairly pared down.
‘But a lot has changed since then and Kate has said she wants this party to be like turning over a new leaf.
‘Now that her daughter Lila is all grown up and she is single again, Kate feels like she wants to let her hair down and be carefree — which is not something she’s been able to do for a long time.

Kate and her pals threw their arms in the air during the performance
‘She is looking on the bright side of life. Although it’s sad her relationship is over, she is throwing herself back into her social life and embracing the new year.’
She went on to start her new chapter celebrating her 51st birthday at A-list restaurant China Tang at The Dorchester before continuing her night until the early hours at The Globe in London’s Notting Hill.
Kate’s outing at BST Hyde Park comes after she returned from a mother daughter Ibiza trip.
The Croydon-born beauty sported a tiny black bikini paired with denim hot pants as she dropped her trademark pout to laugh uproriously with her only child.
In an uncharacteristically animated moment, the stunner, who has appeared on a whopping 78 Vogue covers, looked radiant on her holiday where her glowing skin showcased the results of her clean lifestyle, having turned her back on partying.
Lila, who is now a model in her own right, was also clad in a black bikini but she layered a Jim Beam whiskey T-shirt on her top half.
Lila’s father is Dazed Media chief executive Jefferson Hack, with whom Kate was in a relationship in the early Noughties.

Kate and Lila have spoken candidly in the past about their unconventional relationship, with Kate telling Vogue in 2023: ‘There were still rules in our house – always say please and thank you; never go out with wet hair or you’ll catch a cold – even if I wasn’t that strict. Now that she’s 21, Lila’s the one setting rules for me.
‘Wear SPF50; quit smoking… Although she did give me this cigarette case as a gift recently that I just love… She’s flown the nest now, and got her own place in downtown New York, but she’s still so young in my mind…
‘I feel like I’d already lived quite a few lives by Lila’s age. I’d gone abroad. I’d had one serious boyfriend – and moved on to the next. In a lot of ways, though, Lila is so much more grown-up than I was in my 20s…
‘Watching her establishing her career as a model takes me right back to the ’90s when I was just starting out, but I know that things will be different for her.
‘She understands she can say no, for one thing, which I never did, and she has the right people around her – I’ve made sure of that. And let’s face it, she’s a lot more sensible than I was back then. I mean… thank God. Ha!’
