The Rolling Stones are back! After their tour earlier this year, the English rock legends announced a one off gig at Hyde Park on July 6th.

The Rolling Stones return to Hyde Park for the first time on 44 years. The first gig at Hyde Park was on July 5th 1969, only two days after founding member Brian Jones drowned in a swimming pool and passed away. The gig was the live debut of his replacement guitarist Mick Taylor and was attended by over 250,000 UK fans. Guitarist Keith Richards said, there will be “some emotion involved” in this years gig at Hyde Park. He added: “think it’s a celebration. I think that it’s a celebration for everybody really, for Brian, for everybody that was there and hopefully for loads of people that were not there the first time round.” The Rolling Stones also announced that they will headline Glastonbury this year.

The summer shows follow the five 50 year anniversary gigs they played last year. Mick Jagger and co are excited about the gig and said in an interview: “We had such a great time playing the five concerts last year, we want to keep it going. Hyde Park holds such great memories for us and we can’t think of anywhere better to perform to our UK fans this summer.”

Tickets for the Barclaycard Presents British Summer Time Hyde Park gig go on general sale on Friday. As well as the Stones, Bon Jovi and Kaiser Chiefs will play the same festival on the night before.
