Rockers Extreme will headline this year's Ramblin' Man Fair.
The band, who have sold more than 15m albums, will headline the fair's main stage, along with already announced ZZ Top, at Mote Park in Maidstone this summer.
It will be the third year the huge festival has been held in Mote Park, and will be staged on Saturday, July 29 and Sunday, July 30.
Extreme's albums include the multi million selling Pornograffitti, which spawned hits including the acoustic ballad More Than Words, and Get the Funk Out. Their appearance will be a UK festival exclusive.
“There will always be a special place for the UK in our hearts," said guitarist Nuno Bettencourt. "Recognizing Extreme as a rock band first and foremost has and will always connect us. Cannot wait to rock with you at Ramblin' Man."
