Dartford Festival - More acts announced

With Dartford Festival just three weeks away, we're delighted to announce that The Mend and Chas & His Band have been added to the line-up for the weekend.

The Mend will be entertaining the crowds on Saturday afternoon with a blend of hip-hop, R&B and soul.

The Mend - AKA Kris, Dean, Craig and Jay - made it to the semi-finals of Britain's Got Talent and also got through the X Factor auditions.

Festival favourite Chas & His Band returns to the Festival for the fourth time on Sunday afternoon. Chas' first appearance at the Dartford Festival was with his former music partner Dave Peacock as Chas & Dave back in 2006.

Chas always puts on a great show and his songs are much-loved by the crowd so come on down and sing along!

2012 marks the 50th anniversary of The Beatles and The Beach Boys so also joining the growing line-up will be top tribute acts the Counterfeit Beatles and The Beached Boys.
