Rod Stewart will headline this year’s Hard Rock Calling festival in London, it’s been announced.

The veteran singer will top the bill on the final night of the festival, which takes place in Hyde Park from June 24-26.

“Sounds like a perfect night - the people, the place - and I intend to do my part to bring a whole lot of music and more than a few surprises to Hard Rock Calling,” Stewart said.

Stewart joins previously announced headliners, Bon Jovi, who will play on the Saturday (June 25) of the festival.

Tickets go on sale on Friday (March 11) at 9am.
