IF YOU are blessed with good looks you might not have to rely on an Maidstone postcode to get tickets for

There's no need to panic though. Of the 10,000 pairs of tickets up for grabs each day the majority will be allocated to people with Maidstone postcodes.

The Kent Messenger revealed last Friday that Radio 1's Big Weekend will be at Mote Park, Maidstone, on May 10 and 11.

Mr Moyles said the line-up in the past speaks for itself, with the likes of Foo Fighters, Stereophonics, Gwen Stefani, Razorlight and Pink gracing the Radio 1 stages during previous Big Weekends.

He said: "People are always really excited to play because it's really fun.

"It's two days. There's a big tent with a main stage; another tent with a smaller stage and then another stage and then another stage...

"It's going to be massive, it's absolutely brilliant."

Moyles had done his homework before presenting the breakfast show from the secret location.

He said: "Do you know the history of this castle? It had the first outdoor swimming pool in this country and it had a wave machine."

Maidstone has been branded an "odd place" by Mr Moyles in the past. When Cornwallis English teacher Sam Cox called the show to enter a competition last April , he mocked her accent and said the town had some lovely parts but other "holes".

But it was all in jest and on Friday he was quick to make peace with people in the town by lavishing praise on Leeds Castle saying: "I like it, I came here before when I was a kid with my family.

"I love the fact that I'm from Leeds and there is a castle called Leeds Castle. I think it's really nice of them to name it after my home town.

"So I'm going to go back to my home town at the weekend and I'm going to build a castle and call it Maidstone."
