American bearded rock veterans are to headline a new festival in Hackney's Victoria Park in July next year.

Just announced, the two-day festival is designed to be a rock festival "Custom Built By Rock Fans For Rock Fans", featuring classic rock, prog-rock and metal over the last weekend in July 2010.

ZZ Top are set to headline the Saturday (24th July), with English prog-rockers Emerson, Lake and Palmer taking the helm on Sunday 25th. The event starts at midday each day.

Early-bird tickets are on sale now, priced at £65 for a day ticket, or £120 for the two days. More info as we get it.
