Eagles will headline this year's Hop Farm festival in Kent, it's been announced.

The festival, which takes place at the Hop Farm in Paddock Wood from July 1-2, will also feature a solo performance from The Killers' Brandon Flowers.

Bryan Ferry, Death Cab For Cutie and 10cc are also on the bill. Details of the second headliner will be announced later this week.

Festival boss Vince Power said: “After last years success with Bob Dylan and Mumford & Sons to name but a few of the huge acts, it’s my opinion that the Hop Farm is well and truly on the UK festival map and will go from strength to strength as one of the few independent festivals left in the country.”

Tickets are on sale now.
