New Wave of Classic Rock heavyweights The Dust Coda and LA’s Dirty Honey are two of the bands that have been added to the Guns N Roses BST show at the end of June.
The Dust Coda are to make their Hyde Park live debut this summer, founded in the melodic prowess of Adam Mackie and John Drake, completed by the richly rugged groove of Scott Miller and Tony Ho, the London rockers present enticingly unforgettable riffs, gravel-soaked vocal soul and sheer swagger. Their new album Loco Paradise is out on the 7th July and the show at BST will give fans a chance to hear some of the blisteringly hot songs!
Also appearing are Los Angeles-based quartet Dirty Honey. They hit the ground running in 2019 with their debut single, ‘When I’m Gone’. It became the first song by an unsigned artist to reach No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart, and their second single ‘Rolling 7s’ followed suit placing in the Top 5. They’ve opened for Guns N’ Roses, as well as The Who, Slash and Alter Bridge, and toured the UK supporting Rival Sons. The success of that tour brought the band back in January for a sell out UK headline tour! They have become a “must-see” band. 2021 saw the release of their self-titled debut album, capturing their lightning-in-a-bottle dynamics and energy of their live sound. Driven by the smoking lead single ‘California Dreamin’’, the record showcases airtight songwriting that plays up their strengths: sexy, bluesy, nasty rock’n’roll, melodic hard rock, and soulful ‘70s blues-rock.

James and the Cold Gun, Grade 2, Bad Nerves and The Foxies complete the line up on the 30th June. They join previously announced The Pretenders, The Darkness and Larkin Poe
