It was over 20 years ago now but for one weekend only Derry’s Prehen Playing Fields was bouncing as some of the world’s biggest bands and DJs performed to a cast of thousands at the BBC One Big Weekend back in April 2004.

On the bill over that weekend were Kelis, Ash, Avril Lavigne, Franz Ferdinand, The Streets, Keane and The Lovegods, as well as Faithless, Tall Paul, Seb Fontaine, Pete Tong, Judge Jules, Fergie, Col Hamilton, Armin Van Buuren and Agnelli.
