In a statement, the team behind the festival said: "We’re super excited to announce that adrenaline-fuelled super rockers Airbourne will be closing our first-ever Maid of Stone Festival, ensuring we end the event on the highest of highs!

"That's not all – we still have a major Saturday night headliner to announce and one special guest.

"We are planning an amazing festival for you with activities including axe-throwing competitions, whiskey and bourbon bar, Friday night party with Rockaoke, memorabilia and merchandise stalls, a signing tent, Harley Davidson shows, food of the world vendors and much more."

With two key acts still to be confirmed for the Saturday show, fans can look forward to exciting performances from The Hunna and Kris Barras Band.

The Hunna, who were formed in Watford in 2015, have seen three of their four albums reach the UK Top 40.

Aussie hard rock quartet Airbourne are set to close the event on the main stage on Sunday.

Their fourth album, Breakin' Outta Hell, reached number 9 in the UK albums chart in 2016.

Bristol-born blues rock singer Elles Bailey and special guests Welsh reggae metal band Skindred are amongst the other acts that will take to the main stage on the second day of the festival.

Other acts over the two days include Kira Mac, Collateral, Phil Campbell, Florence Black and Sons of Liberty.

A second stage, the Phoenix Stage, will see performers such as blues rock five-piece Robert Jon & The Wreck entertain fans from all over the world.

Maid in Stone will be held over the same weekend that Ramblin' Man Fair was previously staged but has no connection to it.

Festival-goers can look forward to additional entertainment such as axe-throwing, children's archery, a market and a Harley Davidson show.

Foodies will be treated to a street food village and multiple alcohol tents and shacks with beer, whiskey and gin all on the menu.

Campers can also expect a Friday night party to kick off proceedings, with the campsite opening from 10am on Friday, July 21.

Tickets are currently on sale, and can be purchased via Skiddle.com where prices start from £49.50.
