Pop group East 17 are to perform at an airport site as part of a major classic car show next summer.

The 1990s boy band will be one of the attractions at the Thanet Extravaganza Classic Motor Show taking place on Manston Airport in June.

They will appear on stage alongside other acts, including Ben Mills - who shot to fame on the X Factor in 2006 while living in Whitstable - who now fronts the Americana Revue.

Organisers are promising hundreds of classic vehicles - among them the car from the Ghostbusters movie.

There will also be a Memorial Flight Flypast, along with a fun fair.

Taking place on June 29, it will be the first of two big events planned for the site next summer - prior to work getting under way on transforming it into a major cargo hub.

In August, it has been announced the Manston International Air Show will make a return.

The site has currently been shut since the airport in its previous guise closed in 2014.
