Springsteen, known as “The Boss”, rolled back the years during his three-hour set at British Summer Time (BST) – his debut performance at the festival.
Federer’s appearance at the London music festival follows his trip to Wimbledon earlier this week, his first time back since announcing his retirement last year.
