The Stranglers, Lulu and Kid Creole and the Coconuts are among the world class artists performing at Hampton Pool this summer.

The festival returns, bigger and better than before, on July 11 when the Peaches, Golden Brown and No More Heroes stars take to the stage.

Cult blues outfit Nine Below Zero open for the Stranglers and will be sure to set the tone with their renowned energetic performance.

Kid Creole and the Coconuts are next to wow the Hampton audience on July 17, with their Latin American and Caribbean influences certain to create a good time vibe.

And the Annie, I'm Not Your Daddy band are supported by none other than the king of soul himself, Geno Washington, who appears with his Ram Jam Band.

Geno's famous frenetic and positive live show rattles through the soul hits which made him and his band one of the most sought-after live acts of the 1960s.

Next up is the effervescent Lulu, famous for Shout! and The Man Who Sold the World, on July 18, supported by Twickenham band the Carnabys.

Finally, the last headliner is national treasure Joan Armatrading, who brings her original singing style and impressive self-penned repertoire to Hampton.

She is supported by singer-songwriter Troy Faid.

As well as the impressive line-up, there are two nights of tribute acts with T Rextasy and ELO Experience performing on July 10 and Killer Queen and Absolute Bowie completing the bill on July 24.
