The series opens with Northern Irish indie favourites Two Door Cinema Club on 26th June, celebrating the 15th anniversary of their beloved debut album Tourist History. The band will perform the record in full alongside a selection of their biggest hits. They’ll be joined by special guests The Vaccines performing their debut album What Did You Expect from the Vaccines? in full, plus appearances from alt-pop artist James Marriott and indie rock outfit The Royston Club.

The following day, Irish rap trio Kneecap will deliver their biggest headline show to date. Known for their incendiary live performances and bilingual hip-hop, the group will be joined by a stacked line-up including The Mary Wallopers, Fat Dog, Biig Piig, Gurriers and Madra Salach, promising one of the standout gatherings in London’s Irish cultural calendar.

Legendary Californian punk band The Offspring will then take over the park on 28th June, bringing their high-octane catalogue to the capital. They’ll be supported by Celtic punk heroes Dropkick Murphys, skate punk stalwarts Pennywise and rising punk outfit Destroy Boys, with more acts still to be announced. “Nobody rocks like the UK rocks,” the band said in a statement. “This is gonna be a great day out.”

The following weekend, the concert series returns on 3rd July with Northern Irish alt-rock giants Snow Patrol headlining a rare outdoor London show. The evening will also feature powerhouse vocalist Rag’n’Bone Man and rising indie-pop artist Nieve Ella, with additional names still to come. Frontman Gary Lightbody said the band were excited to return to the capital for what promises to be a memorable open-air performance.

The series concludes on 4th July with a special appearance from seven-time GRAMMY®-winning singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette. The influential alternative icon will be joined by British rock powerhouse Skunk Anansie for a landmark summer show.
