Carole King to headline BST Hyde Park with Tapestry

Carole King is to play her first UK concert in more than 25 years on Sunday 3rd July at AEG Live's Barclaycard presents British Summer Time happening in London's Hyde Park.

The singer-songwriter, 74, will play her seminal album Tapestry in full, followed by a selection of other hits..

Support will come from Don Henley formerly of The Eagles, and King's own daughter, Louise Goffin.

Carole King said, "I want to begin by thanking Londoners for making Beautiful: The Carole King Musical so successful. And now I’m coming to London and can’t wait to perform Tapestry from beginning to end for the first time ever! How perfect to be doing that in the heart of one of my favourite cities.

"I know I’m not alone in considering Don Henley one of the greatest songwriters of our time. I’m looking forward to hearing classic Eagles songs and other hits from Don and his band. And, as a lifelong fan of Louise Goffin I can only say that there’s nowhere else I’d rather be on 3 July 2016 than Hyde Park in the great city of London."

Massive Attack are to headline on Friday 1st July. They will be supported on the line-up by Young Fathers, Patti Smith & her band, Ghostpoet, TV on the Radio, Warpaint, and more.
