"Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band's 2009 Hard Rock Calling performance proved to be one of the greatest live performances in the festival's history," said Hamish Dodds, President and CEO of Hard Rock International. "We look forward to having them back for Hard Rock Calling 2012, for what is sure to be another iconic show."

Toby Leighton-Pope, of promoter Live Nation, said: "It's great to welcome Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band back to Hyde Park. They always put on a fantastic show and 2012 is set to be a special one."
