Phil Collins is heading to Hyde Park this summer as part of his comeback tour, and it looks like he'll have some big support too.

Blondie have been announced as the main support act on June 30 at the British Summer Time festival.

Also on the bill will be Collins's fellow Genesis member Mike Rutherford and his supergroup Mike + the Mechanics, alongside Starsailor (remember them?).

The Debbie Harry-fronted group said that they are "looking forward" to returning to London, while more acts are yet to be announced.

The gig will (against all odds) be Collins's only UK festival appearance as part of his Not Dead Yet tour.

"The reaction from the British public has been overwhelming," Collins previously said. "I can't wait to play Hyde Park and see everyone there."

This year's event includes a number of big acts headlining, including Justin Bieber, Green Day, Kings of Leon and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

Last week, The Killers were announced as the final headline act, with support from Elbow, Tears for Fears and White Lies.

Tickets are on sale now from here.

Last year's British Summer Time event saw the likes of Florence + the Machine, Take That, Mumford & Sons and Stevie Wonder play Hyde Park.
