News: Full Line-Up Announced For Jeff Lynne’s ELO At BST Hyde Park

American Express presents BST Hyde Park welcomes the incredible Jeff Lynne’s ELO to the famous Great Oak Stage on Sunday 13 July. The special guests joining their landmark final show are: W. H. Lung, Cats in Space, High Fade, Neckbreakers, Bobbie Dazzle and Bec O’Malley, alongside previously announced acts Californian rock legends The Doobie Brothers, iconic songwriter and guitarist Steve Winwood and composer and songwriter Dhani Harrison.

One of Britain’s best loved bands, the group marks their farewell, decades after their founding in Birmingham and the start of a journey that transformed music. Currently completing their farewell US tour, ‘Over and Out’, the band will land at BST Hyde Park for a final ‘goodbye’ this summer.

Originally emerging as a mysterious, studio-only trio, Manchester’s W. H. Lung have evolved into one of the UK’s most compelling live acts and a forward-thinking synth-pop powerhouse. Fresh off the release of their critically acclaimed third album Every Inch of Earth Pulsates (produced by Ross Orton – Arctic Monkeys, Working Men’s Club, Yard Act), the band have spent the past year touring extensively across the UK and Europe. Their latest tour saw fans treated to a powerful new live set blending euphoric, dance-driven new material like “How to Walk” and “Bloom and Fade” with favourites from Vanities and Incidental Music. With momentum building and a new chapter firmly underway, W. H. Lung have cemented their status as one of the most innovative and electrifying forces in modern British music.

Cats in Space are a British classic rock band brimming with majestic songs, boasting soaring vocal harmonies, power chord guitars, thundering drums and bass as well as huge symphonic keyboards. Since landing on the UK Rock scene in 2015 with their debut album Too Many Gods, touring major UK arenas as special guests to Status Quo, Deep Purple and more, and with a huge festival appearance alongside Phil Collins and Blondie at BST Hyde Park they have built up a reputation as one of the finest bands to emerge this century with their unique 70s inspired Classic Rock sounds.

On a three-man crusade to set dance floors alight with their inimitable brand of razor-sharp funk and disco, Edinburgh’s High Fade captured the attention of a global audience with their music amassing over 30 million views and streams within six months of their first release and, in the process, gaining recognition from music heavyweights including Jack Black, Cypress Hill, Deep Purple’s Glenn Hughes and Brad Wilk from Rage Against The Machine.

New generation indie band NECKBREAKERS inject an electric feel reaching straight into your mind’s eye. Innovatively unpredictable and tantalisingly catchy, they bring a fresh, punchy sound to the scene. Leading with their plethora of anthems and soul wrenching lyricism, their music spans across a wide range of genres, from screeching guitars to dense, spine tingling blood harmonies, granting an almost unparalleled accessibility to their feel-good experience.

Bobbie Dazzle, the brainchild of singer-songwriter and flautist Siân Greenaway has reinvented herself to take the listeners back in time to quintessential 70s Glam and Progressive Rock, her unwavering passion for good old rock & roll will take you on a nostalgic trip. Inspired by bands like The Sweet, Focus, Slade, T. Rex and the lesser known retro rock bands of the time, she has curated a style and musical character to embody the joy and brilliance of a genius musical era.

Bec O’Malley is a rising singer-songwriter based in Manchester. Blending raw emotion with melodic storytelling, he’s quickly making a name for himself on the live circuit, having supported artists like Sonny Tennet and HARDY and performed at venues including Manchester’s Gorilla. Though yet to release his debut music officially, Bec has built a loyal following through intimate live performances and viral moments on social media.
