Now in its seventh consecutive year, Hard Rock Calling returns to Hyde Park in July with Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band set to headline. They make their welcome return to the Hard Rock stage after an unforgettable performance back in 2009. Usually found sporting a familiar double-denim ensemble Springsteen (also known as The Boss) is known for his emotive brand of heartland rock and has sold more than 120 million albums worldwide and picked up an impressive collection of Grammys during his five-decade spanning career. Festival goers should expect some of his iconic hits including Born in the U.S.A, Dancing in the Dark and Born to Run, alongside a few new surprises at what should be an unmissable occasion under the stars in London's back garden. The three-day festival saw over 150,000 music lovers flock to one of the capital's best loved parks for three days of superb entertainment and live music in 2011. Recent performers at the festival include Bon Jovi, Stevie Nicks, Pearl Jam, Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney. Keep checking www.hardrockcalling.co.uk for the latest line-up additions.About Hyde Park
Technically two different parks, Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens are in practical terms one huge, merging expanse. The 'split' dates back to 1728 when Queen Caroline, wife of George II, took almost 300 acres from Hyde Park to form Kensington Gardens. The 350 acres that remained has become one of London's best-loved parks. More about Hyde Park
