UK - Hampshire-based LED screen specialists LED Screen Hire supplied large LED screens to the 2005 Nokia Urban Music Festival with the Princes Trust, via the event's production company, Nine Yards Productions. The two Barco D-Lite 7 screens - measuring 35 and 25 square metres respectively - were both onstage, upstage of the performance area, making a large asymmetric impact. Other video and broadcast hardware was supplied by CTV, and the event was broadcast on Channel 4.

LED Screen Hire also supplied 12 42 inch plasma screens around the arena , used for broadcast monitors. The project was handled for them by Nick Pask. Sound was supplied by SSE Hire and lighting by Siyan.

Princes Trust Event organiser Matt Donegan said: "It was a pleasure working with the professional team at LED Screen Hire - their ability to adapt with the minimum amount of fuss was much appreciated. They are great team players and we would definitely enjoy working with them in the future."

The capacity 16,000 crowd enjoyed an action-packed evening's entertainment hosted by power rapper and MTV presenter Xzibit. The show included memorable performances from Will Smith and DJ/producer Jazzy Jeff, hip hop originators De La Soul, US soulstress Faith Evans, poetic rapper Common, beatboxing pioneers Killa Kela and many more.
