Kaiser Chiefs, Bush and Rival Sons are among the acts added to the upcoming Barclaycard Hyde Park concert.

The gig will be headlined by Bon Jovi on 5 July, and a whole host of other bands are also taking part. Kaiser Chiefs, Bon Jovi and Bush will all be performing on the Great Oak Stage, but there are other stages at the event.

The Futureheads and Charlie Simpson are going to be playing on The Theatre stage, along with Norwegian funk/soul star Bernhoft and Irish indie band The Coronas.

The Village Hall Stage will see performances from Rival Sons, who hail from California, as well as English talent Little Barrie and Leo Gun. Finally, All The Young, Josh Flowers & The Wild and The Virginmarys will be playing on the Band Stand stage.

Rob Hallett, President, International Touring, AEG Live, said, “With the clocks going forward on Sunday, despite the temperatures, British Summer Time really begins and it is timely to reveal the full line up for the opening night of our 10 Day event with headliners Bon Jovi.

"More than just a concert, the bill illustrates why rock’n’roll remains as vibrant a force today as it has ever been."

Bon Jovi have promised that the gig will be 'loud', despite the fact that previous Hyde Park concerts have suffered from noise complaints - which led to prestigious events Hard Rock Calling and Wireless moving to the Olympic Stadium.
