Bon Jovi confirmed for new Hyde Park summer event

Bon Jovi have been announced to perform at a brand new summer event at London's Hyde Park.

The US group will headline a show as part of the new Barclaycard British Summer Time event at the iconic venue.

The event is due to take place from June 28 to July 7 with two weekends of live music planned, whilst weekdays will see other themes on show including literature, sport and film.

Bon Jovi will play Hyde Park on Friday July 5, with tickets due to go on sale from February 1.

Speaking about the Bon Jovi gig, President of promoters AEG Live Rob Hallett said:

"t is fabulous that, as we begin to celebrate a decade of working together with Bon Jovi, we come together again to launch a re-imagined series of shows at the iconic Hyde Park."

Fellow promoters Live Nation recently pulled out of holding events such as Wireless and Hard Rock Calling at Hyde Park, choosing to relocate to London's new Olympic Stadium.
