They did BBC Radio 2 in Hyde Park, that was Jeff Lynne's big return after Chris Evans started campaigning for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah I must've missed that one. Although same venue but before BST Hyde Park became a thing, if I'm not mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted yesterday at 02:41 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 02:41 PM I think it was indeed. ELO seems a very strong contender to me. Cannot believe they wouldn't have a crack at it, especially with it being the last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernSoul52 Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago I'd expect they'll try and shift BST first before adding the dates. Hell, if demand is there, they may do two at BST - though I doubt it. Get this one on the market, then add half-a-dozen arenas - Manchester, Birmingham (x2), Glasgow, Cardiff and Newcastle, probably - over the fortnight beforehand.
