The final day of Wireless 2008 drew a sell-out crowd, who despite the showers, enjoyed every minute. - In the headline spot, taking a bow, Counting Crows closed the festival. There might not have been a completely dry person in Hyde Park but it didn't seem to bother a soul.

A dramatic show from lead singer Adam Duritz was an impressive note on which to close the event; in a charged performance, the 44-year-old gave it his all. But the most emotional moment came when he stood still, shut his eyes and sang Colourblind, with tears streaming down his cheeks. In full concentration, the audience witnessed a man sympathising with his lyrics and singing with sincerity.

Wearing O2 ponchos, waterproofs and the odd bin liner, a huge and predominately Aussie crowd converged on the main stage for Powderfinger's first ever London festival appearance. As lead singer Bernard Fanning paid tribute to the Spanish Euro Cup winners the sun miraculously broke through the clouds and an almighty cheer sounded. Playing a host of all time favourites like 'My Kind of Scene' and new songs from their latest album 'Dream Days at the Hotel Existence' the crowd responded well when Bernard acknowledged a request from the audience to play 'Bless My Soul' which he confessed they hadn't played in a while.

Ending with one of their most popular hits, 'My Happiness', it was all arms in the air and probably the biggest collective antipodean sing-a-long Hyde Park has ever seen!

The talented Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals took to the stage and thanked Counting Crows fans for patiently waiting down the front. Ben's unique voice was as pure and magical as ever and he kept the audience nicely chilled out with a series of songs from his new album Lifeline.

The other stages were equally a source of fantastic live entertainment. Closing the O2 stage, Galactic with Lyrics Born and Boots Riley played a blinding set and really got the small but enthusiastic crowd dancing in their wellies.
