The final countdown is on for the start of this year's Ramblin Man Fair in Maidstone's Mote Park.

The fair is the biggest rock and country music festival in the county town, with four stages hosting some legends of the music industry.

Headliners on Saturday night included Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy, and Europe with performances on other stages from the likes of Uriah Heap and The Zombies.

Thin Lizzy's appearance was their only performance in the UK this year, as they embark on their 40th anniversary tour for their album Jailbreak.

The tour also marks the 30th anniversary of the death of singer Phil Lynott.

The crowd stretched back as far as the eye could see to see the rockers perform hits like Jailbreak, Cowboy Song, Rosalie, and, of course, The Boys are Back in Town.

Around 20,000 music fans are expected to descend on Mote Park for the festival, which finishes on Sunday.

Sunday's headliners will be Black Stone Cherry, a band that has become a big name since releasing their self-titled debut album in 2006.

Drummer John Fred Young said: "We feel a connection to British audiences. Each time we go back, we keep doing bigger and bigger places. It's nuts for four dudes from Kentucky to be able to do this."
