BBC Radio Kent was granted special access backstage at Mote Park and spoke to Duffy, The Hoosiers, Scouting For Girls, Pete Tong, Tim Westwood and Fatboy Slim who all performed at the event. 

Along with these interviews we also talked to Maidstone residents and festival organisers before the party started about their concerns about having so many revellers in the town. 

In this special documentary produced for BBC Radio Kent by Phil Harrison we hear the full story of the weekend that Maidstone was at the centre of the music world.
