This follows the confirmation by Royal Parks that Live Nation successfully retained the contract which extends their 10-year history there. Over the years Showsec has supplied a range of event security services for live events including the Wireless and Hard Rock Calling series of festivals.
Showsec operations director Simon Battersby comments: "We are delighted to be returning to Hyde Park. It is the jewel in the crown of London's outdoor event spaces, attracting prestigious events with high profile artists and visitors. I enjoy the challenge of delivering a consistent high standard security service at a range of very different events, working alongside the best production teams in our industry."
Live Nation's festival director John Probyn adds: "We intend to continue to bring the very best in music and entertainment to the heart of the community. I am delighted that we can continue to develop shows in Hyde Park and work with the professional agencies who support us such as Royal Parks, Westminster City Council, the Metropolitan Police and key supply partners like Showsec."
