"Bon Jovi have been confirmed as the first headliners of a new summer event at Hyde Park. The group headline the AEG Live and The Royal Parks Barclaycard British Summer Time festival on Friday, July 5.  Hyde Park will be open from June 28 to July 7, with live music on the weekends and the site remaining open from Monday to Thursdays for smaller film, music, literature and sport events. Rob Hallett, president of international touring for AEG Live, said: &amp;quot;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.&amp;quot; Bon Jovi will play songs from their back catalogue alongside tracks from upcoming album What About Now, which is released on March 25. The group also headline the Isle of Wight festival on Sunday, June 16.  Jim King of AEG Live and event director added: &amp;quot;We have created what we believe to be the ultimate in summer events. &amp;quot;Fantastic music, great food, drinks, farmers&amp;#039; markets, theatre, film - and much more incredible entertainment across a full ten days. The list is endless!&amp;quot; The Royal Parks head of events James Russell said: &amp;quot;This is a new era for entertainment in Hyde Park. &amp;quot;Hyde Park has such a wonderful heritage in hosting world class concerts in the heart of London, dating back to 1969.&amp;quot; Photo gallery - Blur at Hyde Park for London Live:  Live Nation had previously pulled Wireless and Hard Rock Calling from Hyde Park after writing a formal letter of complaint to the Royal Parks Agency about its tender and bid process for a new five-year contract. It this week confirmed that the Live Nation festivals would be moved to the North Park at Stratford&amp;#039;s Olympic Stadium. Last year, there were complaints when the microphones were switched off as Paul McCartney duetted with Bruce Springsteen at Hyde Park, and further criticisms of low volume at shows by Blur and Madonna. AEG later won the five-year contract for the site to deliver live music at the park.
