Elton John is to headline a new summer festival
celebrating British songwriters in London's Hyde Park.
Former Kinks
frontman Ray Davies and Elvis Costello will also perform full sets with their
own bands at the 12 July show.
Three other
stages will showcase established and younger songwriting talent from the UK and
the US.
They include
Nick Lowe, founding member of Del Amitri Justin Currie and Lucy Rose.
American
singer-songwriter Tift Merrit will play on The Village Hall stage, alongside
British band To Kill A King.
Thea Gilmore,
Grammy and Golden Globe nominee Scott McFarnon and Olivia Sebastianelli will
perform on The Bandstand stage.
Tickets for the
festival go on sale on Thursday 23 May.
Sir Elton will
also headline this year's Bestival on the Isle of Wight at the start of
September.
He will also be
the first act to play at the new Leeds Arena on 4 September - his only UK
indoor date for the year.
The 65-year-old
star has live dates booked across Europe from June 15 until December.
Sir Elton will
also be performing a 13-night run in Las Vegas in the autumn.
