Didnt know that had now been added to the "offensive" list - and I'm a native English speaker. But if it is, then it's best removed.

This is why, apparently. It's a US thing at the moment, but I expect it will spread so we had better all remove it from the vocabulary we use to describe interesting foreign locations. I'd have thought it was only offensive when applied to people.

Hyde Park has hosted the British Summertime Festival lasting 2 weeks in late June/early July every year for many years now and the Stones’ 2013 appearances were a part of that so not sure you can include it.
You can definitely include Hyde Park 1969 though

The performance they gave facing the River Thames, with the audience stood behind them. That has to be one of the most unique. There are photos documenting the event.
When was that?
One of their very early performances took place in Battersea Park, with a pool between them and the audience. And while we're thinking of unusual venues, how about a tumbledown wreck of a hotel on a little island in the Thames, where they had to carry all their gear over a footbridge?

The article does include the following clarification:
"The word “exotic” is correct when referencing inanimate life forms but its use in describing other humans is objectifying."
