For one weekend the focus of the nation was on Maidstone.

Thousands of people came to the County Town to watch some of the world's top stars perform at Radio 1's Big Weekend, including the first festival performance in the UK by Madonna.

Thousands more listened in on Radio 1 or watched coverage beamed from our doorstep to televisions across the world.

We will relive all the fun in a free 16 page supplement in Friday's Kent Messenger.

It includes reports, reviews and your verdicts on the acts, as well as pictures of the bands and the crowds - you may even spot yourself or friends and family who were at the event.

Friday's bumper edition will also include reaction and festival gossip - find out who we spotted there, and what the stars had to say about our town.

Don't miss your great value Kent Messenger - out tomorrow.
