Hard Rock Calling - Overview

Hard Rock Calling also known as Hyde Park Calling is an annual music festival held in Hyde Park, London. Initially it took place on Saturday July 1 and Sunday July 2, 2006. The music played is primarily rock music, and various performers, including Aerosmith, Neil Young, Bon Jovi, The Who and Bruce Springsteen have played at the event. The organizers of this festival are Hard Rock Cafe and Live Nation.

The 2006 Hard Rock Calling festival had two stages, and was headlined by Roger Waters and his band on the Saturday and The Who on the Sunday. Gates opened at 14:00 and the show ended at 22:15 on both evenings. The Who's Sunday headline performance was released as part of their Encore Series 2006 of CDs & DVDs. The Hard Rock Calling festival was a peaceful one, being inside the city the event required attendees to rely on external accommodation. Unlike more popular festivals such as Download Festival or Reading and Leeds Festival, which require camping on site for most people.

Despite the veteran status of the headline acts, most other bands were younger and with a more 'contemporary' audience, providing a contrast in musical styles. Since this festival, Razorlight particularly has acquired much fame and in under a year has gone from second slot in a smaller inaugural event like Hyde Park Calling to headlining the long-running and respected Reading/Leeds Festival. The festival mainstage proved to be unusually British, with the British Isles being represented by seven English bands and one Scottish, with only one American and one New Zealand band from abroad. However of the ten second stage bands, three were from Canada and two from the USA.

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.
