Maidstone two piece Slaves will play a one-off gig this summer at Dreamland.

The Margate attraction and By The Sea have announced the date for the punk pair will be on Saturday, July 22.

Tickets at £22.50, plus a booking fee, are on sale now for the Kent gig.

The duo’s raw brand of punk rock has seen them earn two Top 10 albums, and consistently sell-out venues including London's Brixton Academy, O2 Forum and two dates at Shepherds Bush Empire within 12 months.

The pair, former Oakwood Park pupil Laurie Vincent, from Maidstone, and former Hugh Christie pupil Isaac Holman from Southborough, played a DJ set at the Margate site last September.

They released Take Control last autumn and will play Margate amid a busy run of festival dates.

The By The Sea Festival will return to Dreamland this year on Friday, September 29 and Saturday, September 30, with details yet to be released.

Last year's sell-out show saw alt-pop royalty including Super Furry Animals, Bat For Lashes, Wild Beasts and Wolf Alice descend on the amusement park.
