Two of the world's biggest acts are ready to rock at Hard Rock Calling, held at the brand new iconic home of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London.

Kicking off what will be the first show at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, London since the London 2012 Games, one of Britain's biggest and most contemporary bands Kasabian are announced in a UK festival exclusive, making their debut appearance at Hard Rock Calling on Saturday 29th June.

Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band are confirmed for Sunday 30th June in what marks a third epic headline performance at the festival. Back for some unfinished business, Bruce Sprinsteen & The E Street Band will bring The Wrecking Ball Tour to Hard Rock Calling. Expect a high energy all out rock performance that goes down in history with some of their biggest and most loved hits plus a few surprises and special guests.

Kasabian

A glorious synth-tinged melting pot of indie rock that will caress the eardrums. Formed in Leicester while still at school, they took their name from Linda Kasabian, one of the members of the Charles Manson cult. Their electronica-indie rock fusion akin to Primal Scream combined with the rough vocal style and unrepentant Mancunian swagger of Oasis has firmly established them as more than just a flash in the pan and injected a large dose of energy back into the Brit-rock scene.

Twin Forks

Twin Forks is the new project by Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional. Florida four-piece Twin Forks is a change of mood and pace, moving away from the rock sounds of DC to a more folk and Americana feel with a pop sensibility. "Dashboard Confessional fans may cry foul given the band's similarity to the current pop-folk trend of bands like Mumford And Sons or The Lumineers, but if it's good music what is the point in complaining?" - Letssingit.com
