BST Hyde Park 2020: Duran Duran, Gwen Stefani and Nile Rodgers & Chic to play London show

Duran Duran have been announced as the final headliners for this year's American Express presents BST Hyde Park 2020.

Duran Duran will be joined by US star and No Doubt frontwoman Gwen Stefani and Nile Rodgers & Chic on their date.

Simon Le Bon said: "I look at film of The Rolling Stones at Hyde Park back in '69 and think of all the great acts who've performed there since. It really is an honour to add the name Duran Duran to that roster, and to play our music at one of the world's greatest inner city locations at BST Hyde Park."
