Ward Thomas are among the latest wave of artists to be joining Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Stevie Nicks and Lumineers at Barclaycard British Summertime Hyde Park on the Sunday 9th July.  

Sisters Catherine and Lizzy Ward Thomas have been making a name as the vanguard of the British country movement, despite being from Hampshire rather than Nashville.

Other acts added to the bill are: The Head and the Heart, Tyler Bryant And The Shakedown, The Shelters, Diane Birch, Jordan MacKampa, Juanita Stein, Jade Bird and Catherine McGrath

British Summertime is a unique festival offering, each live music-packed weekend will be linked by a midweek programme of diverse entertainment, accessible for all to enjoy. Each weekend will see live music over four stages in ticketed events.

From Monday to Thursday, the entire site, saved for the main stage, will give visitors the chance to get involved with smaller, more intimate events offering film, music, literature, sport and a specific family day that will expand the experience to genuinely appeal to the whole family.
