Rock band Kasabian and legendary US artist Bruce Springsteen have been confirmed as the headliners for this summer’s Hard Rock Calling.
The British rock band will join ‘The Boss’ at the two day ‘festival’ at The Olympic Park – the new home to various festivals this summer after organisers famously scrapped Hyde Park.
Kasabian are set to headline the first night (June 29th), and are set to be supported by the likes of The Tribes, Paul Weller and The Klaxons.
Meanwhile, June 30th will play host to Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band, with support provided by Alabama Shakes and The Black Crowes.
Springsteen’s return to Hard Rock Calling will mark a year since he was famously forced to end his set at a moment’s notice after a collaboration with Sir Paul McCartney overran on Royal Park regulations. Hamish Dodds, CEO of Hard Rock International, announced today:
“Last year, Bruce Springsteen And The E Street Band made international news and history when their Hard Rock Calling encore with Sir Paul McCartney was unceremoniously cut short due to a noise curfew at Hyde Park. This summer we are giving Bruce and the band the opportunity to finish what they started and make history again with a celebrated performance at Hard Rock Calling. Additionally, we are looking forward to christening Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park with a Saturday line-up of some of Britain’s hottest talent, including headliner Kasabian, Paul Weller and more.”
Tickets for Hard Rock Calling go on sale this Friday (8th March) at 9am
