He said: "There is a lot going on.
"Tickets are being sold - we're into the thousands now. We have locked the DJs down.
"We've also established a fifth tent; we're collaborating with Jessie James to bring a house tent to the festival.
"We've been offered an outdoor cinema to. So many people want to get involved and it's great. We've had nothing positiveitve feedback.
"It's really going to be great. Everywhere I go people are talking about it. The demographic is between 18 and 50+."
The team will set up one of the stages, #FCFF, in Lydd's new airport hanger, while the other dance marquees will be positioned around the grounds.
A host of food and drink stalls will also be on site.
