Neil Young will headline one night at London's Hard Rock Calling.

The 'Heart of Gold' rocker has been confirmed to play the open-air show in the UK capital's Hyde Park on June 27, with support coming from The Pretenders, Fleet Foxes, Ben Harper's new band The Relentless, and Sea Sick Steve.

We would play a garden shed to be on a bill with Neil Young but Hyde Park - summer - with 'The Loner'?This is what makes a thousand hours on tour buses all worthwhile. This is why people get in bands.

The Pretenders singer Chrissie Hynde says the group are thrilled to be sharing a bill with the legendary musician.

She said: "We would play a garden shed to be on a bill with Neil Young but Hyde Park - summer - with 'The Loner'?

"This is what makes a thousand hours on tour buses all worthwhile. This is why people get in bands."

Neil was recently confirmed as the final headliner at the Glastonbury Festival, which takes place over the same weekend as Hard Rock Calling.

He will also play this year's Isle of Wight festival.

Fellow Glastonbury headliner Bruce Springsteen will also play Hard Rock Calling.

He headlines the day after Neil on a bill which also includes the Dave Matthews Band and Gaslight Anthem.
