CHART-TOPPING stars from the 80s are coming together for a big one-day outdoor live music festival this summer.

- By MARTIN NEAL

The popular Let's Rock brand makes a welcome return to the capital on Sunday, August 2, with Let's Rock London at Beckenham Place Park.

Headlining the show are classy, brassy popsters ABC whose classic album Lexicon of Love topped the UK charts and went platinum.

With a string of hit singles including Poison Arrow, The Look of Love and When Smokie Sings, their reputation as a top live band remains still as strong.
