Mumford And Sons Announced As British Summer Time Hyde Park 2016 Headliners
Friday, 20 November 2015
Written by Laura Johnson
Mumford And Sons are the second headliners to be confirmed for next year's British Summer Time series.
They will be joined at Hyde Park by Wolf Alice and Alabama Shakes on July 8. Tickets for the event go on sale at 9.00am on November 27. Prices start from £59.50, plus fees. Discussing the show, the band said:
“Hyde Park for us: sacrificing hopes and dreams at the altar of Neil Young; being transported to another dimension by The National; supporting Arcade Fire (the best band in the world); playing alongside our mates The Vaccines; accidentally seeing Black Eyed Peas; wishing we were at Kylie. What a place. And this time we get to headline and pick a bill of sick artists to play with us. Alabama Shakes! Wolf Alice! Gentlewomen of the Road! We’re travelling all over at the moment, so having this massive gig to look forward to next Summer, right in the heart of our home city, is just awesome.”
Bassist Ted Dwane has hinted, during a discussing with NME, that the Hyde Park performance may be the only UK festival the band will play in 2016:
"It’s certainly the only thing we’re planning right now. I think, to do a big one like that, you do want to focus not only everyone’s attention on it, but our own as well. It’s quite good, from within a band, just to pull back the moment. I don’t think we want to dilute it for our own minds, or anyone else’s. So that’s likely to be the only thing, I think."
Take That were the first headline act to be confirmed for the series and will take the stage at Hyde Park on July 9.
