Stevie Nicks will be joining Tom Petty on the bill at British Summer Time 2017 (Paul Bachmann for Live4ever)
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers will be at the British Summer Time festival in Hyde Park next July to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their debut album.
An infrequent visitor to UK shores, it’s due to be Petty’s first festival gig in Britain with the Heartbreakers since 2012 – something which James King, senior vice president of AEG Live, has described 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 continued.
“Celebrating their 40th anniversary with them is their friend and true icon Stevie Nicks. Music does not get better than this.”
There’s some significant support too, in the form of Fleetwood Mac‘s Stevie Nicks, while The Lumineers are also confirmed for the July 9th bill.
They all join previously announced headliners Kings Of Leon, Green Day, Phil Collins and Justin Bieber.
