The event, held at London's iconic landmarks of Hyde Park and Victoria Park for the duration of the Games, is London's biggest free celebration of London 2012.

Hyde Park will be open from July 28 to August 11 and has revealed a bill of top acts to play on its main stage including Tom Jones, Rebecca Ferguson, Alexandra Burke, McFly, The Overtones and The Temper Trap.

The latest artists which were unveiled to perform were alternative rock band Ocean Colour Scene, chanteuse Ren Harvieu and indie rock band The Enemy (pictured below).


Fans have an exclusive opportunity to see Team GB medallists in person during the Games at the official Team GB Fan Zone, where British medal winners will gather to publicly celebrate their success with their home crowd in the heart of the city.

Every day the BT House will be giving away London 2012 Games tickets for athletics, gymnastics and the Closing Ceremony by playing London 2012 – the official video game of the Olympics.

Alongside this, visitors can enter the 300-seat grandstand Sport Arena and take part in an array of sport sessions including badminton, netball and modern pentathlon or even join the face painting crew at the Sun Bus.

Guests are welcomed into the Cadbury House to step into the shoes of the athletes by going head to head in a virtual race with Team GB swimmer Rebecca Addlington (pictured below) before receiving a celebratory chocolate medal.

Meanwhile, from July 27 to August 12 Victoria Park has a spectacular 55-metre high observation wheel supplying impressive views of the Olympic Park, as well as bungee trampolines, zip lines, and land and water zorbing in place for the adrenaline junkies among the crowds.

Top acts including Norman Jay and friends, Club De Fromage, Alexandra Burke as well as Sway and Skepta are set to play on the main stage along with many others.


Victoria Park also caters for the younger audience with its various craft activities in the Kids Zone area.

In addition to this, BT London Live is also hosting two Celebration Concerts in Hyde Park in celebration of the London 2012 Opening and Closing Ceremonies.

Snow Patrol, Stereophonics, Duran Duran and Paolo Nutini will be headlining the Opening Ceremony Celebration Concert on July 27, while Blur will headline the Closing Ceremony Celebration Concert on August 12, also featuring New Order and The Specials.
