The sun has set on an incredible two days of music in Mote Park.

Radio 1's Big Weekend included memorable performances by Madonna, The Feeling, Usher and Nelly - and was rounded off in style by The Kooks and The Raconteurs on Sunday evening.

However, one of the bands almost didn't make it at all. Coventry threesome The Enemy admitted that their sat nav sent them on a little detour to the coast.

Tom Clarke, the band's frontman, said they had travelled over a strange bridge and ended up by the sea.

It was a good job they did make it though as the main tent went wild when they played just before headliners The Kooks.

Earlier on the same stage, Nelly stunned some audience members by pulling them out of the crowd to appear with him on stage.

And he pulled a final surprise for his final song, Dilemma, when he introduced Destiny's Child singer Kelly Rowland for a duet. It was, he said to huge cheers, the first time the pair had performed the song live outside of America.

Meanwhile, festival favourites the Zutons got the crowd singing along at the In New Music We Trust tent.

Drummer Sean Payne was full of praise for Mote Park and the sunshine.

He said: “It’s all about the weather. The bands are playing and all that which is always going to be great but it’s the weather that makes it special.

“Kent is a lovely place.”

Later in the same tent super group The Raconteurs played an energetic set to round off the day for some of the crowd.

Lead singer Jack White belting out Steady As She Goes as the sun was setting over the park will be a memory to stay with many people for life.

Radio 1 early morning breakfast show host, Greg James was full of life after spending the day introducing acts on the main stage.

He admitted being slightly hoarse from all the shouting and despite the prospect of only three hours sleep tonight before starting his crack-of-dawn show, said it had been a brilliant weekend.
