Bob Dylan and Neil Young to headline BST 2019 at Hyde Park: How to get tickets, dates and more

Music maestros Bob Dylan and Neil Young have been announced as the headliners for next year's British Summer Time music festival.

Both musicians will play the 70,000-capacity festival in London's Hyde Park on 12 July next year.

The pair have performed together many times previously and have repeatedly expressed their admiration for each other's artistry.

In a 2005 interview, Young said: "I'll never be Bob Dylan. He's the master. If I'd like to be anyone, it's him."

Returning the favour in 2007, Dylan told Rolling Stone: "He's sincere and he's got God-given talent. With that voice of his and the melodic strain that runs through absolutely everything he does...There's nobody in his category."

James King, Senior Vice President, of concert promoters AEG Presents, said: “Barclaycard presents British Summer Time has always tried to deliver the greatest possible one off live experiences for music fans in London."

Tickets will no doubt sell out fast, so here's how you can get to the front of the queue:
