Britpop stars Cast have been named as the headliners of a festival in Yalding - the only show they will be playing in Kent this year.

Last year The Vicar's Picnic attracted 700 music lovers to the banks of the River Medway.

This year, the organisers are hoping to more than double the number of visitors.

Formed in 1992, Cast released four albums, the second of which went platinum, and had 10 top 10 singles, before disbanding in 2001.

Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher described watching Cast play live as “a religious experience”.

More than decade later, and the original line-up are back together for a series of intimate gigs.

The festival takes place in The Lees from Friday, August 28 and Saturday, August 29, with Cast be performing on the final evening.

Tickets, £12-£25 for adults, are available from www.vicarspicnic.co.uk

The profits will help buy a defibrillator for the local doctor's surgery.
