Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers will play next year’s edition of the British Summer Time festival at London’s Hyde Park.
It’s the band’s only European appearance during their 40th anniversary year – and it could be their last year of hitting the road on a large scale.
It’s also been confirmed that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are to be joined on July 9 by special guests Stevie Nicks and The Lumineers, with a full supporting lineup to be announced.
The British Summer Time festival has already revealed Green Day, Phil Collins, Kings Of Leon and the Pixies for the 2017 run of events.
Petty this week revealed a run of North American anniversary dates but told Rolling Stone: “It’s very likely we’ll keep playing – but will be take on 50 shows in one tour?
“I don’t think so. I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was thinking that might be the last big one. We’re all on the backside of our sixties. I don’t want to spend my entire life on the road.”
Tickets for Petty’s British Summer Time show go on general sale at 9am on December 16 (Friday) with Barclaycard presales available now and on Thursday.
