Dartford Festival 2017 Highlights

On the 15th and 16th July one of the region’s best loved free community festivals provided another top weekend of music and performances to Dartford locals and visitors alike.
The Main Stage saw some amazing performances from the likes of the The Christians, The X Factor winner Matt Terry, Space, Peter Hook & The Light and many more. Visitors brought along picnics, chairs and plenty of Festival spirit to make the most of the two-day extravaganza.
Stage 2 (the community stage) showcased the talents of local dance and drama groups and there were stalls aplenty with activities, information and demonstrations.
Local up and coming bands Last Night’s Romance (Battle of the Bands winners), The Alibi, Tailblock, and Outland all played to huge crowds (some for the first time), and gained lots of new fans over the weekend.
