Platinum-selling, triple MOBO award- winning, Soul and R ’n’ B singer Beverley Knight will headline this year’s Dagenham Town Show.

She will perform on the main stage on July 16 at the annual two-day event in Central Park.

Other acts performing over the weekend include 19-year-old Essex-born singer/songwriter and YouTube phenomenon Mike Hough; Barking teenage band The Empty Headz and Romford-based, rock/punk band Dead Baby Birds.

But musical performances are not the only acts on the jam-packed programme.

Dance troupes such as Lose Control, Step in Time and Pulse will be wowing the crowds with their amazing routines.

The show’s carnival parade will conclude the entertainment on the Saturday.

Finally for those who want to be kept on the edge of their seat, there will be a motorbike stunt display performed by the UK’s Number One Freestyle Motorcross rider, Jamie Squibb.
