A new exhibition showing rare photographs of acts including The Beatles, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix and The Kinks are set to go on display at London's National Portrait Gallery later this year.

The Beatles To Bowie: The '60s Exposed exhibition will run from October 15 to January 24 next year and will feature 150 photographs from the decade including those of The Who Marianne Faithful and Cliff Richard, as well as the above acts.

In a statement organisers explained that over 100 of the photographs will be previously unseen by the public.

It is helmed by Terence Pepper, Curator Of Photographs for the gallery.
