Reggae legends UB40 and singing superstar Katherine Jenkins are two of the big names announced for a string of summer concerts in Kent.

Eight shows have been exclusively unveiled by KentOnline under the Park Live Kent umbrella and all taking place at Mote Park in Maidstone.

They start on the Jubilee bank holiday weekend in June and run through until early October.

First up is UB40 ft Ali Campbell who will headline the Summer Love Festival on Saturday, June 4. They will be supported by the likes of Aswad, The Dualers and General Levy.

Katherine Jenkins - the world's most successful classical singer - heads to Maidstone on Saturday, July 23.

As one of the UK’s greatest musical exports, multi-award winning Katherine has performed all over the world, for popes, for presidents and is a favourite of the Royal Family.

Other Park Live Kent concerts to look out for this summer include the south east’s biggest tribute festival, Rock the Mote, plus the annual Revival in the Park that last year featured 5ive, East 17 and 911.

The second year of the LGBT+ event Glitterbomb is on Saturday, July 30.
