His debut album, also titled Human, shot to the top of the chart, going 4x platinum and receiving a plethora of accolades the world over, as well as another Brit Award for Best Single of the Year in 2018.

Dreamland has also announced two forces of the underground, Fabio & Grooverider and The Outlook Orchestra Present The History Of Drum & Bass, have joined the 2023 Margate Summer Series.

The main stage includes Goldie, DJ Hype, Congo Natty, Dillinja and TD&BB.

Stage two will be playing host to Sabrina, The Drum n Bass Bible, Vs and Sound Project to name but a few.

"Together, they’ll present a special score celebrating a history of jungle and drum & bass, featuring some of the scene’s most iconic and well-loved tracks."

McFly will also be joining the line up, which will be the band’s second Kent tour date this summer, having been previously announced as headliners for Pub in the Park in Tunbridge Wells.

Tom Jones will be celebrating a career spanning seven decades with his Ages and Stages tour, which will be visiting Dreamland this summer.

His string of hits, which have seen the 82-year-old sell more than 100 million records worldwide, include the likes of What's New Pussycat?, Delilah, She’s a Lady and You Can Leave Your Hat On.

Dreamland has also announced UB40 feat Ali Campbell will be joining the line-up.

UB40 last performed at Dreamland in 2021 but this will be their first time to return to the venue since the sad passing of their trumpet player Astro.

The reggae and pop collective is responsible for hits including Red Red Wine and Kingston Town.

Hailing from Birmingham, the reggae icons released the single We’ll Never Find Another Love this year, along with their latest album Unprecedented.
