Maidstone will be treated to hundreds more live gigs throughout
the summer.
The Maidstone Fringe Festival in May will
see pubs, restaurants and clubs across the town host
more than a hundred acts in a week-long celebration of live music
from Thursday, May 2, to Monday, May 6.
But music fans can expect more
live entertainment throughout the coming months.
Central to the festival will be organiser Zoe Sparkle's own
venue The Rafters in the lower High Street, which
has become a magnet for music fans since launching
last year.
She anticipates holding more gigs and hopes to attract big name
bands as they warm up for future tours.
