It was Blackpink (not sold out) and LDR (very sold out) at 50k.

The "All things Orchestral" gig they did was 5k capacity and so didn't register as an event day.

Thanks very much. Thought it would have been the case those two were smaller ones.

Wonder how many double-shows they'll have this year.

Assume Green Day are out with the announced dates today, playing IOW and Wembley instead

It would be unusual to see somebody book both Wembley and BST HP tbf. Maybe Taylor Swift or Harry Styles, but equally they seem to just do Wembley residencies.

I think Bruce Springsteen did Hard Rock Calling and Wembley in the same year once, but yeah. Highly unusual.

Just speculated this on another thread, but Rod Stewart on one of the smaller days?

This will obviously not be as a headliner, but seen chatter on Twitter that Level 42 apparently self-confirmed for this over the weekend at their London show.

So he did all the way back in 2013. Think that was the surprise return to HRC a year after he had the plug pulled on him by the local council midway through playing with Paul McCartney, to widespread derision. Would've thought that was a dealbreaker to play Hyde Park again.

EDIT: Turns out the 2013 version was actually in a park by the London Olympic Stadium. So... ignore that. Also, to my earlier question, turns out Hard Rock Calling is not still a thing.

The Springsteen / HRC booking in 2013 was a very late announcement, well after the rest of the tour (and after the Wembley date had already sold out), with the assumption being that they'd struggled to find a headliner.

A London absence does feel pretty BST-friendly to me.

Surely the smaller show, though.

Tomorrow some news or do we have to wait longer??

kings of Leon doing British grand Prix show at Silverstone July 4th so could they be in the frame for a Hyde park return 

[NorthernSoul52]

Kings of Leon headlining one of the shows at the Formula One British Grand Prix next year, in early July.

I reckon that might put them in the frame.

All of those could be possibilities. I think there is a Metal day missing from BST, perhaps AC/DC? 

However, BST seem to get random acts that nobody would predict i.e Billy Joel, Carole King, Barbara Streisand. No point in trying to guess

[NickisGinger]

Cher for BST lol…

also I see KOL more at Finsbury Park?

Initially the plan for 2020 was for them to do Finsbury with Courteeners, Cage the Elephant, Inhaler, Soccer Mommy and Big Moon, which is a bill I might well have ventured along for. But they had to pull that because 2020 and eventually ended up doing 2 nights at the O2 in 2022.

Doing Silverstone on July 4th means that they could be around on Sat 6th for either HP or FP, given both will be hosting concerts that weekend.

Omg I never knew that they were meant to be at FP! 😭. Was seeing The 1975 back then at FP so god knows how I missed the info about Kol. 
 

hopefully next year.

Andrea Bocelli.

Gotta be a 50,000-cap show, right?

Really hope so as they are still excellent live.

Keep the faith brother
