A Kent band will join the likes of Jay-Z, Kings of Leon and The Verve at one of the UK's biggest music festivals, it has been revealed.

Hobo Jones and The Junkyard Dogs, who have made a name for themselves skiffling everything from Led Zeppelin to the Pussycat Dolls, are on the bill for this year's Glastonbury alongside the likes of Kings of Leon, Jay-Z and The Verve.

The Maidstone-based trio - Hobo Jones, Wino Tyrone and Miser Bill - will certainly stand out in their unique get up, playing an array of instruments from the washboard to the kitchen sink.

It was announced on Tuesday that the band will play the Avalon stage at the Somerset music event on Friday, June 27.
