Vince Power has said that he would like to organise another comedy festival at Hop Farm in Kent.

The Mighty Boosh played a headlining set at the outdoor venue last summer, a day before Neil Young topped a musical bill as part of Power's return to the UK festivals industry.

Power told the Evening Standard: "I would love to do it, not necessarily with The Mighty Boosh again, but with major, major acts like Peter Kay and Eddie Izzard. On a main stage with 25,000 people watching it.

"It shouldn't be any different from rock 'n' roll. In my opinion, it's a good idea to have a big main stage open-air festival."

This year's Hop Farm Festival saw two days of music across a number of stages on July 4 and 5, and was headlined by Paul Weller and The Fratellis.
