The Killers, Rizzle Kicks rock Isle of Wight
- Published
In 2012 motorists queued for up to 10 hours for the Isle of Wight Festival after flooding.
This year with better weather and a few changes to the venue it took less than thirty minutes from ferry to gates.
The festival's promoter, John Giddings, spoke to Newsbeat about the changes: "I bought the fields where the car park entrance collapsed.
"Built roads in them - I wanted to be prepared for it once and for all."
Gates opened for the festival on Thursday with bands on a few small stages outside the main arena entertaining the crowds.
The Stone Roses headlined the main stage on Friday with Paul Weller supporting whilst Rizzle Kicks performed to a smaller group of fans on the second stage.
Killers 'classics'
The Killers played to huge audiences on Saturday, starting their headlining set with Mr Brightside.
They performed lots of classics - and not all theirs - covering The Beatles' When I'm Sixty-Four.
The final day felt a lot more for the older day trippers than the hard-core campers, with Bon Jovi headlining the main stage.
"People just want to dance all night long, I love it," promoter John Giddings said of the event's atmosphere.
He told Newsbeat more than 300 bands had performed across the weekend.
