Hyde Park headliner Dizzee Rascal said, ‘I’m looking forward to hooking up with Coke to bring music to Hyde Park at the end of the Olympic Torch Relay. Young people out there make a really positive difference and now we can recognise and celebrate them with music. It’s wicked so get a ticket, see you there!’ Emeli Sandé stated how thrilled she was to be a part of the celebrations and cannot wait to ‘share in the excitement and energy that the Olympic Flame will bring to the UK.’
Last summer, Pop-Punkers You Me At Six helped Coke to choose inspirational torchbearers and played a show with Eliza Doolittle and Dizzee Rascal at Westfields Shopping Centre, West London. The band said, ‘It’s amazing that we now get to celebrate them (the torchbearers) with these amazing concerts…this is going to be huge!’
