After Hard Rock Calling's 2006 success, a Hard Rock Calling 2007 quickly entered planning stages. It was announced that the event would take place during the weekend of 23-24 June 2007. It was Aerosmith's first concert in the United Kingdom for 8 years, and featured Peter Gabriel and the recently reformed Crowded House as a joint-headliner for the first day. Other draws to this year's event were the addition of a new third stage. Only one band to have played at the previous Hard Rock Calling, Rose Hill Drive, played again in 2007. One of the many incarnations of the Buena Vista Social Club featured. Hard Rock Calling 2007's version of the band includes Manuel "Guajiro" Mirabal, Orlando "Cachaito" López, Manuel Galbán and Jesus "Aguaje" Ramos (trumpet). Unlike the previous years' mostly British mainstage, of the nine bands playing, three were American, one from New Zealand and one from Australia.
Sunday became an "Aerosmith Family" event. Aerosmith headlined the mainstage, with it opened by The Micki Free Electric Blues then Arckid - a band featuring Steve Tyler son in law. Chris Cornell played the main stage before Aerosmith made their appearance. TAB the Band, played fourth on the bill on second stage featuring Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry's two sons. Many people saw the event as unbalanced, with most commercially successful bands playing the Sunday. The second stage was sponsored by Pepsi. Despite Aerosmith having the headline slot on Sunday, Chris Cornell played for the same length of time. His set combined Audioslave and Soundgarden songs with his own. In keeping with the family theme Aerosmith brought with them, on Saturday Peter Gabriel's daughter sang and played percussion. On Sunday Cornell brought his two children onto the stage for the audience to see.
Hard Rock Calling will be returning for 2012 on 14 July 2012 at Hyde Park, London. Fans get ready for this eye captivating festival and grab your Hard Rock Calling Tickets from Ticket Royale at affordable price.
