Hard Rock International and Live Nation are pleased to announce that the fantastic Ray Davies has been confirmed for this year’s Hard Rock Calling in London’s Hyde Park, joining headliners Bon Jovi on Saturday 25 June 2011.

As frontman of one of the most important bands to emerge from the sixties, TheKinks, Ray Davies influenced generations as part of the British music invasion with smash hits including You Really Got Me, All Day And All Of the Night, Sunny Afternoon, Waterloo Sunset, Dedicated Follower Of Fashion and Lola to name just a few from an incredible catalogue. He is described as “almost indisputably rock’s most literate, witty and insightful songwriter” by the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, and now Ray Davies is back on fine form ready to take to the stage at Hard Rock Calling 2011 in London, transporting crowds back to undeniably one of the most iconic eras in pop music, the swinging sixties.

Now in its sixth consecutive year, Hard Rock Calling has fully established itself as one of the UK’s premier outdoor music events. Ray Davies joins Grammy^®-Award winning act and all-American rock band Bon Jovi, who was announced to headline Saturday 25 June in London’s Hyde Park.

Hard Rock Calling, produced by Live Nation and presented by Hard Rock International, is a unique and historic musical event with a main stage, second stage and many surprises in store for fans of all ages. In addition to renowned bands and an on-site Hard Rock Cafe, the festival will include a variety of attractions to be announced at a later date.
