Van Morrison will headline a new day at this year’s Hop Farm festival in Kent, organisers have announced.

The festival has been expanded to a two-day event on July 2-3 with camping and three stages.

Van Morrison will top the bill on the opening night, while previously announced headliner Bob Dylan will play on July 3.

Seasick Steve, Peter Doherty and Laura Marling will also perform on the second day of the festival.

Tickets for the event are on sale now.
