The diverse line-up will make up part of the programme for A Day At the Park, an event featuring children’s entertainment from The Gruffalo, Horrible Histories and Braniac.

The show will be a part of a series of events called the Barclaycard Presents British Summer Time. The series already boasts performances from Elton John, The Rolling Stones and Bon Jovi along with a variety of activities for ticket holders to enjoy.

President of International Live Touring and AEG Live Rob Hallett used the new announcement as an example of how the series will be fun for the whole family:

"Junior can be enthralled with the Gruffalo and your daughter can scream at JLS while your parents dance around to The Beach Boys. Everyone’s happy!" he said.

During an interview with the Rolling Stone, the 'Get Lucky' hitmaker admitted it was rather entertaining to hear that a member of public had the guts to do such a thing:

"One thing I like about the masks is that I don't have people constantly coming up to me and reminding me what I do. It's nice to be able to forget, but there are occasional downsides. Several years ago in Ibiza some guy ran up exorbitant bar tabs at clubs while claiming to be me."

In the same interview, the pair also discussed their sci-fi anonymity and confessed that they went with the robot heads because "robots are exciting to people":

"We're interested in the line between fiction and reality, creating these fictional personas that exist in real life. Kraftwerk and Ziggy Stardust and Kiss; people thought the helmets were marketing or something, but for us it was sci-fi glam. We're not performers, we're not models – it would not be enjoyable for humanity to see our features, but the robots are exciting to people."

The French dance duo regularly wear robot style helmets when live or in photoshoots.

Speaking to Rolling Stone, Thomas Bangalter said that the group wants to blur the boundaries between real life and fantasy by wearing the helmets. He said:

"We're interested in the line between fiction and reality, creating these fictional personas that exist in real life. Kraftwerk and Ziggy Stardust and Kiss; people thought the helmets were marketing or something, but for us it was sci-fi glam."

Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo added: "We're not performers, we're not models – it would not be enjoyable for humanity to see our features, but the robots are exciting to people."
