Richard Hawley said, "Playing Somerset House is the venue along with Greenwich Observatory I've always hoped I might get a chance of playing as they are both connected deeply with our country's history. I'm a bit of a history lover truth be told so I'm really looking forward to it, you never know they might let me have a look around the place then I can visit the shop and bring me mum a tea towel home like a proper tourist. Oh and we get to play some rock n roll ... result."

Tickets are priced from £27.50 to £47.50. Tickets go on general sale at 9am on Friday 15th March, and eFestivals will have links to buy them then.
