How did Pete Tong convince Radio 1 to first broadcast from the island? And what influence has three decades of Radio 1 in Ibiza had on dance music? Radio 1 in Ibiza opened up the island everyone - not just dance music fanatics - when it hit the mainstream with the arrival of the daytime DJs. We remember some of the best stories from Ibiza through the years – how romance blossomed, what happened when Vernon Kay was given a pair of handcuffs, and the DJ that had to be dragged out the club to get their flight home - and how all of that led Radio 1 to the Royal Albert Hall. Listen only on BBC Sounds. Contributors: Becky Hill Arielle Free Sara Cox Norman Cook David Guetta Pete Tong Jaguar ALISHA Judge Jules Vernon Kay
