Paloma - who will be wrapping up her summer tour later this month - is heading down to the coast, where fans can watch her belt out all of her iconic tunes.

The gig is part of the Margate Summer Series at Dreamland, which sees top acts perform at the theme park.

The Only Love Can Hurt Like This star is getting excited to perform at such an iconic venue, which recently saw Craig David and Jess Glynne both play there.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun ahead of the concert, Paloma revealed she was looking forward to singing in the popular seaside town.

"I've not played there before but I've been to Margate a lot and I love Dreamland," she told us.

"I'm a massive Tracy Emin fan and I love her work and I've read her book and I'm a bit like, I love Margate because I feel like it's like going to one of your idols’ home-place."

She added: "And obviously, I've been to the Tate there and I really like all the little shops.

"A lot of people that I used to know back in the early days of my career moved to Margate. Yeah, it's quite an artists’ mecca now."

Fans heading to Dreamland on Friday will be keen to know what Paloma has in store for them, and it looks like they won't be disappointed.

The singer revealed there would be a mix of her classic songs, as well as hits from her latest album The Glorification Of Sadness that she released in February.

"I wouldn't ever be so self-indulgent to just play all the songs that I like and not any of the hits," she said.

"So yes, a bit of a celebration of summer because finally we're in summer and I think everyone's feeling a bit happier about that now.

"So I will definitely make sure it's upbeat and joyful and stuff like that."
