Tickets for Hi-Tide Festival featuring Fatboy Slim and Madness are now on sale.
The two-day festival will be held at Dreamland in Margate to celebrate the fairground's 100th birthday.
Created by the team behind the sell-out Demon Dayz in 2017, the event will welcome an incredible 15,000 people each day with two separate stages and a star-studded line-up.
On Saturday, July 4, Fatboy Slim will headline the show, with Jax Jones, Hannah Wants and Riton also performing.
And on Sunday, July 5, the iconic ska band, Madness will take to the stage, followed by Rudimental, Baxter Dury, Gentleman's Dub Club and Hollie Cook.
More artists are yet to be announced.
Suggs from Madness and Fatboy Slim - aka Norman Cook - headed down to the seaside town earlier this month to kick off the Hi-Tide celebrations, giving away 100 free tickets to fans from an ice cream van.
Dreamland chief executive Eddie Kemsley said: “This is a going to be phenomenal event for Dreamland, and for the people of Kent. We are thrilled to present not one but two incredible headline artists over one epic weekend at our beautiful park in our centenary year. We can’t think of a better birthday party.
“We really pleased to be working with Fifty Six Group again, and to build on the amazing success of Demon Dayz. It’s going to be a big year for Margate.”
Mags Revell from Fifty Six Group said: “After Demon Dayz we really saw there was a need to bring a major festival to Margate. Hi Tide will become a yearly event that we hope will be taken into the hearts of the local community and in turn they will help us create its personality as it grows.”
A day admission ticket gives festival-goers access to the whole site with unlimited rides, plus all the bands and artists for the entire day.
Saturday or Sunday (individual day tickets) cost £72.50 each plus a booking fee.
A weekend tickets cost £130 plus a booking fee.
