I feel like I am only just after recovering from this year’s Download festival, and it is time to kick it off again this weekend with a stop at Hard Rock Calling in Hyde Park.

Not to be put off with being on the same weekend as Glastonbury – the festival has a strong line up with the likes of The Killers, Imelda May, Bon Jovi, Ray Davies, Rod Stewart, Adam Ant and Stevie Nicks making up some of the acts performing over the weekend.

Promoters Live Nation are expecting 145,000 to visit the event. “Because it’s the 40th anniversary of Hard Rock this year, they are going to town and spending a lot of money on the event,” said Live Nation vice president of promotions Toby Leighton-Pope.

Hard Rock International and Live Nation are pleased to announce that the Kaiser Chiefs and James will play Hard Rock Calling 2011 in London’s Hyde Park joining headliners The Killers on Friday 24 June.

Black Cards and Vintage Trouble are also confirmed to perform, joining headliner Bon Jovi on Saturday 25 June for what promises to be an incredible weekend of live music.

Returning in fine form, pop-rockers the Kaiser Chiefs are ready to get the crowds at Hyde Park jumping to hits including I Predict A Riot, Everyday I Love You Less And Less, Oh My God and Ruby, as well as showcasing brand new material from their forthcoming album.
