Fatboy Slim and Madness have been giving away free tickets to their performances at a two-day festival.

People queued at Dreamland to get their hands on the tickets which the pair were giving away from an ice cream van at Dreamland in Margate.

The event, called Hi-Tide, is being held at Dreamland Margate and will begin on Saturday, July 4, to mark the venue's 100th anniversary.

The British DJ - best known for songs The Rockafeller Skank, Praise You and Right Here, Right Now - will perform on the opening day with a full supporting bill.

And on Sunday, July 5, Madness will take to the stage to bring the festival to a close.

Lead singer Suggs and Fatboy Slim will both be at Marine Terrace on the Margate seafront today from 12.30pm until 1.30pm giving away 100 free tickets for the entire weekend.

The supporting bill is expected to be announced next week.

Tickets - ranging in price from £72.50 for one day to £130 for the whole weekend - are set to go on sale at 9am on Friday, January 31.
