Radio 2 Live in Hyde Park

Sunday 14th September 2014 on the Main Stage

Radio 2’s Festival in a Day returns for 2014, live from London’s Hyde Park.

Forty years of hits

Celebrating their 40th anniversary as band in 2014, Blondie have spent the last four decades making timeless, genre-hopping pop music.

Founded in 1974 by iconic frontwoman Debbie Harry and guitarist Chris Stein, the band burst out of the New York new wave scene with a series of hit singles on both sides of the Atlantic including The Tide Is High, Atomic and Call Me.

After a lengthy hiatus the band reformed in 1999 to have a UK no.1 with Maria and were inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame in 2006.

Fresh from a session with Jo Whiley and a Radio 2 documentary on their early career, Blondie take to the main stage of Hyde Park, promising a set packed with classic tunes alongside cuts from their tenth studio album Ghosts Of Download.
