Hard Rock Calling tickets: Sir Paul McCartney tickets now below face value


Whilst Hard Rock Calling tickets are available for all days of the festival, the Sunday of the festival is the only one headlined by a knight of the British Empire. Ex-Beatle Sir Paul McCartney tops the bill on June 27th alongside rock legends Crosby, Stills & Nash, Crowded House and Elvis Costello, as well as many others. Sunday 27th June Hard Rock Calling tickets begin from £35 from Ticketmaster affiliate GetMeIn for general admission, and having initially gone on sale for £62.50, they are now below face value. Alternately, those looking for the height of luxury in a Platinum Package will pay up to £1324 – but that does include a champagne reception in the legendary Abbey Road recording studios.

Avienne still in race for Hard Rock festival slot local music highlights


Detroit alternative rockers Avienne could land a slot at the Hard Rock Calling music festival in London, but the band needs your online votes to get there. You can catch the group tonight at the Hard Rock CafĂ© in Detroit, where friends and fans will gather to show their support. The appearance is tied to the Ambassadors of Rock contest in which bands from North America have been battling it out for a coveted slot at Hard Rock Calling, set for London's Hyde Park at the end of June with a star-heavy lineup that includes Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Pearl Jam. Avienne has advanced through several stages of competition, including surviving the most recent cut in front of a panel of judges that included Little Steven of the legendary E Street Band. "We've never been in a competition as fierce as this," says guitarist Matt Justice. "All the bands we played with were stellar." Now Avienne is among 10 finalists from across North America and the band's fate is in the hands of fans. Online votes are being collected through midnight Sunday, so there's still time to get your votes in. Band members met at South Lyon High School in 2007 and began writing songs, playing shows and breaking into the local scene. Avienne won a series of battle-of-the-bands contests and used the prize money to record a debut album, which was released last fall. The six-piece band -- Mike Tooman (keys, vocals), Justice (lead guitar), Kentaro Roy (violin, mandolin), Chris Fader(rhythm guitar), Tyler Mattiello (bass) and Justin Smith(drums) -- creates a really big alt-rock sound with two-, three- and four-part harmonies.

"We're all huge fans of the Beatles," says Justice. "They're the greatest band in the history of rock music. To play on the same stage as Paul McCartney would be such an honor."
