Amy Winehouse Arrives 45 Minutes Late For Bestival Set

Amy Winehouse arrived on stage 45 minutes late for her headlining set at the Bestival festival on the Isle of Wight last night (September 6th).

But the singer, who cancelled her last scheduled festival appearance in France, gave one of her most thorough displays of the summer.

Dressed in a short check dress, Winehouse sang passionately into a microphone which was decorated as a ships wheel.

And in keeping with the festivals nautical theme, her backing dancers also donned sailor outfits for the performance, which was one of the most anticipated of the weekend.

Winehouse’s set included many of the standout tracks from her second album ‘Back To Black’, including ‘Love Is A Losing Game’ and ‘You Know I’m No Good’.

The singer's set was her last scheduled appearance of 2008.

Torrential wind and rain has plagued this year’s festival, which began on Friday with a headline set from My Bloody Valentine.

Besival ends later with a main stage performance from Underworld.

You can see all the highlights from Winehouse’s set below.

she was actually really good.

too little too late, she did not deserve to be headlining. There were far better acts at the festival. We gave up waiting for her!

These pictures look good actually compared to witnessing the close ups at the gig. It was a pretty horrific sight to see - a shaking, fragile wreck of a talent. She could barely project any of the first 2 songs - we walked out in the end, as we couldn’t cope with witnessing such a car crash. Tragic.

Why isn’t there someone on Amy’’s side trying to help her turn her life around like Brittany?! Amy is an amazing beauty and so talented and someone needs to help her pull out of her downward spiral. To Amy....you have so much going for you and so much beauty and you must pull yourself together now!! It is a shame to see her downward spiral when she has so much going for her and so much good she can do for herself and others. Go Amy Go.

terrible, total waste of time. her arriving nearly an hour late was an insult to the fans, she could barely speak let alone sing......left after 10 minutes to go to see bands that still care!

Amy’s set was absolutely atrocious. She turned up late, mumbled almost unintelligibly into the microphone and went off after only just over 30 minutes. A completely lack-lustre performance from a supposed ’’artist / musician’’ that clearly doesn’’t deserve any of the hype she gets. There were far better bands on over the weekend that know they are only where they are because of the fans and prefer to give something back to
