Paul McCartney for Hard Rock Calling

headlining the Sunday night

Tuesday 2nd March 2010


Festival organisers have revealed that Paul McCartney will be headlining the Sunday night at Hyde Park's Hard Rock Calling.

Paul McCartney (Pyramid Stage, Saturday)
From the days of The Beatles to the present this will be McCartney's first-ever full-blown headlining gig in Hyde Park.

Paul has appeared in Hyde Park twice before - he opened and closed 2005's Live 8 concert and most recently he surprised fans last summer at Hard Rock Calling during Neil Young's set to perform The Beatles anthem 'A Day In The Life'.

Paul McCartney commented, "My last show of 2009 was in London at The O2 Arena and we had a great night, there was a great party atmosphere. I hope that this summer we can have an even bigger party in Hyde Park. I've had a little taste of performing in the park when I guested briefly with Neil Young there last summer and it tasted good. So I'm looking forward to getting there with the band and performing our own show."

Tickets for the Sunday at Hard rock Calling will go on sale at 9am this Friday, 5th March.

Previously announced as performing on the opening Friday of Hard Rock will be The Hives, The Gaslight Anthem, Wolfmother, Ben Harper & Relentless7 and headliners Pearl Jam. Saturday's headliner and more of the line-up for the weekend will be announced shortly. The dates for the three days of Hard Rock Calling 2010 are from Friday 25th until Sunday 27th June 2010.

Tickets for Friday are on sale priced at £47.50 per day. Under 16's must be accompanied by an adult. To buy tickets for Friday click here.
