Tom Jones, Little Mix, Boyzone to perform huge British Summer Time gig

Tom Jones, Little Mix and Boyzone are the latest big-name acts to be announced for shows at this year's Barclaycard Summer Time Hyde Park gigs.

The unlikely trio will perform in Central London on Sunday 13 July, at an event that being billed as a family day out at the huge annual event. Black Sabbath are performing at the British Summer Time shows on 4 July. That one will probably be less family friendly...

Also on the line-up for the 13 July show are 10cc and The Bootleg Beatles.

Speaking of his headline booking, Tom Jones says [adopt Welsh accent]: "I love playing in Hyde Park, it's such a beautiful place and so many of the greats have played there. There is a real sense of musical history and a fantastic atmosphere that comes with playing in the middle of a great London park on a wonderful summer evening."

Girl group Little Mix seem suitably impressed at supporting Sir Tom, saying in a statement: "Wow, Hyde Park – so many amazing artists have played there and to be on a line up with Sir Tom Jones is a true honour. We can’t wait to see all The Mixers in the summer sun. And it’s Perrie’s 21st birthday a few days before, so we will be celebrating in style."
