Pistols 'to helicopter into Isle of Wight'

The Sex Pistols have ordered private helicopters to take them to the Isle of Wight Festival, say reports.

Jonny Rotten's punk veterans headline the outdoor bash on Saturday.

A source told the Daily Star: "The Pistols heard about the Rolling Stones chartering their own ferry to the festival last year and decided they too needed to travel in style.

"There’s nothing to beat the view of the Isle Of Wight from the skies when you’re on your way to play to that fantastic crowd. Johnny and the band were well up for the idea of helicopters."

'Lust For Life' singer Iggy Pop is reportedly travelling to the festival via speedboat.

Other acts playing the event include Kaiser Chiefs, Kooks, N.E.R.D, The Zutons, Sugababes and The Police.
