Organisers of this year's Maidstone Fringe Festival have announced two big headline acts.

Local indie band CoCo and the Butterfields and founding member of The Sex Pistols, Glen Matlock, will join the line-up for the festival, which takes over pubs and clubs across the County Town on the first May bank holiday of the year.

Both acts will play the Music Room at Pizza Express in Earl Street.

The music festival, which will be held from Thursday, May 3 to Bank Holiday Monday, May 7, features live acts from across a range of different genres from rock, indie and pop-punk, through to acoustic and blues acts, ska, contemporary folk, funk, soul, dance and hip-hop.

Canterbury-based indie-pop band CoCo and the Butterfields currently consists of lead vocalist Dulcima Showan, guitarist and vocalist Tom Twyman, keys player Jamie Smith, guitarist Rob Wicks and bassist Patrick Channon.

Dulcima and Tom also competed on the BBC live contest to represent the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2016.

The crowd-pleasing live act, who have a loyal local following and beyond, will play on Sunday, May 6. It will be a standing gig, with some balcony seating.
