The legendary British rock band, the Rolling Stones, are set to perform in Hyde Park in London this summer.
The outdoor gig will take place on 6 July, a week after the group's first appearance at the Glastonbury festival.
The band decided to put their concerts on hold in 1969, after the death of Brian Jones, the Rolling Stones' guitarist, although they have performed at a few selected gigs more recently.
Ticket prices have not yet been announced, although rumour has it that the group aroused fans' anger when they attempted to charge up to £406 for shows at the O2 arena last year.
The British Summer Time Hyde Park show will come a week after the Stones headline the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury. The Stones have also announced a North American tour, beginning in May, but with more recovery time between gigs than in previous years. "You gotta pace yourself," said 69-year-old Mick Jagger. "We have enough time before we come back to England, so we'll be well recovered."
Accommodation in London from £35 per night.
