Kilimanjaro Live and The O2 have announced The Stone Free Festival at the O2 in London next June.

The festival will feature two 12-hour days of the very best in classic rock music and deliver a host of live performances spread over multiple stages, including many other must-visit events throughout the weekend.

Headlined Alice Cooper and Rick Wakeman (performing ‘The Myths And Legends Of King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table’).

Alice Cooper: “Coming to the UK is always like coming home for us, fans in the UK are always high energy, always there. Headlining the very first STONE FREE FESTIVAL at London’s The O2 in June next year is an example of why we feel so welcome. It will be my only performance in the UK next year, so that makes it even more special. And as always with my show you can expect the unexpected!"

Rick said: "After the success of the ‘Journey To The Centre Of The Earth’ shows last year, I’m over the moon to have the opportunity to perform ‘King Arthur’ for the first time since 1975 with an orchestra and choir. It’s going to be wonderful!"

Joining them in the main arena across the two days will be a full supporting cast of artists to be announced over the coming weeks including rock heroes Marillion, Steve Hackett and Blackberry Smoke. A diverse bill of artists are promised from all areas of the classic rock world to be performing throughout The O2.

Day and Weekend and Rock Royalty tickets will be on general sale on Friday 20th November at 10am
