NEWPORT, UNITED KINGDOM - JUNE 14: John Lydon of the Sex Pistols performs at the Isle of Wight Festival June 14, 2008 in Newport, Isle of Wight, England. The festival, attended by 50,000 music fans, which features headline acts The Kaiser Chiefs, Sex Pistols and The Police, is in its seventh year after being reincarnated in 2002. The promoters claim their aim is to recreate the hippy spirit of the famous festivals held on the island in the late 1960s, when thousands of music fans watched acts such as Jimi Hendrix, the Doors and Bob Dylan.
