Live Nation to quit the park?

Live Nation has reportedly said that it will not re-bid for the rights to stage festivals and concerts in London's Hyde Park, claiming licensing restrictions put in place in recent years have hindered the company's efforts to stage events there, and that the tender process put in place by the Royal Parks Agency for a new five-year contract to use the park for live events is "flawed". The move would put an end to the Wireless and Hard Rock Calling festivals as well as Live Nation's series of major summer concert events.
