Boyband District 3 are to play at this month’s Dartford Festival.

The group will be among a diverse line-up of musicians performing at the event in Central Park.

They will be playing at the event on Saturday, July 20, when other acts will include Madness tribute band One Step Behind, and Kitten & The Hip - a blend of electro swing, R&B, disco, drum and bass, dubstep and pop.

Squeeze lead singer and guitarist Glenn Tilbrook will be the headline act on Sunday, July 21.

With his writing partner Chris Difford, he was responsible for several top 10 hits, including Cool for Cats and Up The Junction.

1970s disco tribute band CarWash will also be getting the crowds up and dancing, and fresh from BBC’s The Voice, Medway’s Joseph Apostol will also be taking to the stage.

And in addition to the music, there will be a family-friendly mix of stalls, activities and entertainment on offer throughout the weekend.

Admission is free.
