Whilst gearing up for the release of their new single Idaho (due on 27th August), indie/rock institution Feeder have announced that they are to play an exclusive live show at BT London Live in Hyde Park on 10th August, as part of the London 2012 Olympic celebrations. They'll be sharing the stage with Ocean Colour Scene and The Temper Trap.
Other acts at BT London Live Hyde Park include The Enemy, Saint Etienne, McFly, Lemar, The View, The Levellers and The Beat. The celebratory concert series is hosted by BT London Live at two sites throughout the Olympic Games in London’s Hyde Park and Victoria Park. With all eyes on the UK, the free, three-week long event celebrates British music, arts and sport. For those not wanting to miss a thing, there are also to be five giant screens installed, showing the BBC’s coverage.
