Boy band to play alongside Beach Boys and Gruffalo
Soon-to-split boy band JLS are the latest headliners for a series of major outdoor shows in London's Hyde Park.
The group, who announced last month that they will call it a day after a farewell tour later in the year, will share a bill with The Beach Boys and The Saturdays.
They are to play the new festival Barclaycard Presents British Summer Time Hyde Park, performing at a family-friendly day of acts on Sunday July 7. The event also features performances of The Gruffalo and Horrible Histories stage shows.
Performers lined up for other days during the festival include The Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi and Sir Elton John. Jennifer Lopez and Lionel Richie were unveiled yesterday as the stars topping the bill at the finale concert on July 14.
Rob Hallett of promoter AEG Live said of the latest line-up: "I have always wanted to promote a show where you can take your kids and your parents. Junior can be enthralled with the Gruffalo and your daughter can scream at JLS while your parents dance around to The Beach Boys."

The Stones in Hyde Park in 1969

Bon Jovi on playing at Hyde Park
Bon Jovi said they are looking forward to performing at Hyde Park as part of the Barclaycard British Summertime Festival which starts at the end of June. They added they were not concerned about noise restrictions or the British weather which caused problems at festivals last year.
Bon Jovi to headline Hyde Park festival
Rock act Bon Jovi are to headline a new festival which will be staged in London's Hyde Park this summer. The Barclaycard British Summer Time event, promoted by AEG, has been set up in the park after rival promoters Live Nation Europe transferred their concerts to the Olympic Park.
There have been problems with concerts at Hyde Park - last year the sound was turned off at a Bruce Springsteen concert because it would have broken a curfew brought in to protect local residents from the noise.
However, Rob Hallett, president of International Touring for AEG Live, said: "It is fabulous that, as we begin to celebrate a decade of working together with Bon Jovi, we come together again to launch a reimagined series of shows at the iconic Hyde Park."
