Rob Hallett, President, International Live Touring, AEG Live commented: “Barclaycard Presents British Summer Time Hyde Park is much, much more than just a music event.

“I have always wanted to promote a show where you can take your kids and your parents. Junior can be enthralled with the Gruffalo and your daughter can scream at JLS while your parents dance around to The Beach Boys. Everyone’s happy.”

The British Summer Time Hyde Park event will open with a headlining set from Bon Jovi on 5 July and is set to be closed by Lionel Richie and Jennifer Lopez on Heart in the Park Day on 14 July.
