Lauded TransAtlantic supergroup Crosby, Stills And Nash are set to perform at this year’s Hard Rock Calling event.
Held in the middle of Hyde Park, Hard Rock Calling has grown to become one of the most talked about events of the summer season. The festival is capable of grabbing some stunning headliners, with Sir Paul McCartney set to venture to the London event later this summer.
The Beatles legend will have some famous company. Amongst the latest additions to the line up are original supergroup Crosby, Stills And Nash who will plough through their greatest hits for the crowd.
Also set to play Glastonbury, the trio contain some legendary songwriters. Uniting over a long of music, the group were later joined by sometime compatriot Neil Young.
Meanwhile, New Zealand group Crowded House are set to perform one of their first dates after coming out of retirement. The band will trawl through their back catalogue, finding some classic songs.
Neil Finn comments, “This is a day that I wouldn’t want to miss for all the tea in China. I will be hearing songs from the masters McCartney, Crosby, Stills & Nash that I sang as a child and emulated as a teenager, and Elvis who laid down the gauntlet to all of us as we formed our bands. The scene is set, great music both modern and timeless…. and, God as if that wasn’t good enough, we get to play too!”
Elsewhere, Elvis Costello will perform at the event fresh from starting a fire of controversy after cancelling his concerts in Israel. Earning the wrath of fans, the singer explained that the move away a protest against the country’s government.
Currently working on a new album, the singer will be joined by Joshua Raden and plenty more.
