Europe are ready to rock in Kent next summer.

Brexit has nothing to do with it - the Swedish rockers, who brought the world the 80s classic The Final Countdown, have been announced for the line-up of next summer's Ramblin' Man Fair in Maidstone.

The band, led by frontman Joey Tempest, will be Planet Rock main stage headliners on Saturday, July 17.

Their breakthrough hit The Final Countdown topped the charts in 1986, selling 15 million copies worldwide. Other hits include Rock the Night, Carrie and Cherokee.

They celebrated their 30th anniversary of The Final Countdown in 2016, when they first performed at the music festival in Maidstone.

They join an impressive line-up for the music festival, which runs from Friday, July 16 to Sunday, July 18, 2021, which includes Monster Magnet, Those Damn Crows and Clutch on the Saturday, as well as The Quireboys and Massive Wagons on the Friday and Eric Gales, Samantha Fish and Blindstone on the Sunday.
