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.

More acts have been added to this year’s Hard Rock Calling in London. Adam Ant & The Good, The Mad and The Lovely Posse, Rumer, Mike + The Mechanics, The Lighthouse Family and Barenaked Ladies have all been confirmed for Sunday 26th June.

The new additions to Hard Rock Calling in London’s Hyde Park on Sunday 26 June, are set to join Sunday headliner Rod Stewart and queen of rock ‘n’ roll Stevie Nicks.

Further additions to Sunday 26 June include American Grammy-Award winning rockers Train, who had big hits with the Top Ten smash Drops Of Jupiter (Tell Me), as well as Hey, Soul Sister.

Music legend Stevie Nicks has been added to the Sunday 26 June lineup at Hard Rock Calling 2011 in London’s Hyde Park.

Joining the already impressive line up, Stevie will be joining headliner Rod Stewart whose appearance at Hard Rock Calling was also announced this week. Both Stewart and Nicks are currently in rehearsal for their upcoming “Heart & Soul” US Tour.

Hamish Dodds, president and CEO of Hard Rock International, commented: “Stevie Nicks is one of the most influential women in music, and we’re thrilled to add her to the lineup at Hard Rock Calling and help celebrate our 40th Anniversary.”

With the summer announcements coming hard and fast – Hard Rock Calling have announced the next headliner for this year’s festival.

Living legend Rod Stewart will headline the Sunday night at Hard Rock Calling on 26 June in London’s Hyde Park.

Now in its sixth consecutive year, Hard Rock Calling has fully established itself as one of the UK’s premier outdoor music events. Rod Stewart joins fellow Grammy-Award winning act and all-American rock band Bon Jovi, who was announced to headline Saturday 25 June in London’s Hyde Park.
