Ocean Colour Scene + special guest Black Grape & Louis Berry -24 July

The band's rip-roaring live shows have long been one of the most extraordinary sights in modern rock - communal outpourings of hope and joy which boast the most life-affirming sing-a-longs you'll ever hear.


OCS remain one of the most successful -and most loved- bands of the modern era. Having spent six years fine-tuning their sound, they lit up the Britpop party, chalking up three Top 5 albums- 1996's Moseley Shoals, 1997's Marchin' Already and 1999's One From The Modern and a run of nine successive Top 20 single's including the immortal ‘The Riverboat Song' (in total they have seventeen Top 40 singles and six Top Ten singles).

 

Frank Turner & the Sleeping Souls- 30 July

Over the course of an astonishing career spanning 20 years + and counting - during which he has to date sold in excess 1 million records and played to over 2 million people - Frank Turner's popularity has grown with his artistry. From the ferocious, sweaty box venues of rock band Million Dead and starting from scratch with an acoustic guitar in pubs and bedrooms in 2005, to his name now routinely appearing in the largest font on ticket stubs that permit entry to such venues as Wembley Arena, The O2 or the Royal Albert Hall. In short, it has been a number of years now since the hard-core troubadour transformed himself from The Boy Who Surely Could Not, to The Man That Did. 

 

 

Sara Cox - Can't Get Enough 80s! -6 August

BBC Radio 2's Sara Cox brings you Just Can't Get Enough 80s! Playing the best disco tunes of the decade all night, Just Can't Get Enough is the ultimate 80s event.

From Bowie to Belinda, Wham! to Whitney, Kylie to Kate Bush, Erasure to Elton, and Tiffany to T'Pau, Just Can't Get Enough 80s is jam packed with huge anthems and epic 80s memories! 

 

Bjorn Again -13 August

The Internationally acclaimed BJÖRN AGAIN show was created and founded in 1988 in Melbourne, by Australian Director and Musician ROD STEPHEN. Designed as a rocked-up light-hearted satirical ABBA spoof, the show rapidly achieved world-wide Cult status and acknowledged for singlehandedly initiating the ABBA revival which brought about ABBA Gold, Muriel's Wedding and MAMMA MIA! The enduring appeal of ABBA is reflected in the ongoing success of the Björn Again show having amassed over 5,300 performances in 72 countries in 33 years. 

 

Margate Pride -14 August

Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle will grace the stage of Margate Pride this year. The Pride favourite is best known for iconic hits with Girls Aloud including ‘Sound Of The Underground', ‘Love Machine' and ‘Sexy! No, no no...'.  Nadine also released a solo album ‘Insatiable' in 2010.  Joining Nadine on the stage will be Lisa Maffia, Jodie Harsh, Sink The Pink DJs, Janet District Council, Amy Zing and the drag queens of Margate Pride!

Billy Ocean + special guest Rebecca Ferguson- 22 August

One of the greatest singers of his generation, thanks to international hits such as 'When the Going Gets Tough...' and 'Caribbean Queen', Billy Ocean is a Grammy Award winner with worldwide sales of over 30 million. He hit the number one spot across three continents in the 70s and 80s, counting no fewer than six UK top 10 singles. ‘Caribbean Queen' stormed to number one on both the US singles chart and US R&B chart and is amongst Billy's six US top 10 singles. With top 10 albums the world over, Billy has notched up an impressive three Platinum albums (including two which are certified 2x Platinum).

 

2020 saw Billy celebrate his 70thbirthday, receive an MBE in the New Year Honours list and release his 11thstudio album ‘One World,' which was his first new material in 10 years. The album featured 12 new songs all co-written by Billy and saw him re-unite with producer Barry Eastmond who wrote and produced a number of Billy's biggest hits including ‘When The Going Gets Tough...' and ‘Love Zone.'
