As the sun began to set, Australian rock band Crowded House performed much loved tracks such as Don’t Dream It’s Over and Weather With You.
Mike Skinner brought his revered musical project The Streets to the Island and not only performed anthems like Dry Your Eyes and Fit But You Know It, but also delighted the festival crowd by venturing into the pit, much to the delight of Isle of Wight festivalgoers.
Over on the Big Top stage, Johnny Marr played iconic tunes from The Smiths as well as his own diverse solo tracks.
Legendary band, The Pretenders then closed The Big Top with an exhilarating set including songs such as ‘Let The Sun Come In’, ‘Up The Neck’ and ‘Kid’ .
