Guitarist Joe Perry said in a statement: “Speaking for myself I’ve been so involved writing my autobiography I did not realise how long it had been since we have played across the big pond. Its been far too long since we have performed in the UK. We can¹t wait to bring back some of the classics as well as some of the new songs from ‘Music from Another Dimension’. We miss our UK fans. See you soon.”

Some 20 more acts will be announced in coming months. Live Nation’s Vice President of Promotions, Toby Leighton-Pope, said: “This year is one of the most exciting on record for the Calling Festival. We’re looking forward to bringing the new look event to Clapham Common, one of London’s premiere outdoor locations…. There’s still lots of announcements to come, including a big Sunday night headliner, and we’re excited at what’s in store.”
