Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers‘ headline gig at the British Summer Time festival in Hyde Park next July has gone on sale today.
Petty is making a rare visit to the UK to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Hearbreakers’ debut album in what will be his first festival appearance in Britain since 2012 – James King, senior vice president of AEG Live, has described it as a ‘one-night-only experience direct from the music gods’.
“Tom Petty’s UK fans will feel blessed to see him and the Heartbreakers in such a rare appearance in this country,” he said.
“Celebrating their 40th anniversary with them is their friend and true icon Stevie Nicks. Music does not get better than this.”
Big name support will come from Fleetwood Mac‘s Stevie Nicks on July 9th, while The Lumineers have been booked too, joining previously announced headliners Kings Of Leon, Green Day, Phil Collins and Justin Bieber.
