The festival took place over two days and grew in size each year, with six stages featuring live music, DJs and as of 2013, comedy and spoken word.
The festival had featured performances from a number of major stars of indie and dance music since 2004 including Paul Weller, The Prodigy, Kasabian, Dizzee Rascal and Chase & Status.
The festival's line up was typically composed of established mainstream indie and dance acts on the Main and Dance stages, with up-and-coming artists of a wide range of genres spanning folk, hip-hop, punk, ska and reggae, as well as a number of local acts, making up the lineup elsewhere at the festival.
Amongst the artists to have performed at Jersey Live in the early stages of their careers before going on to become considerably higher in profile, are Foals, Tinie Tempah, Jake Bugg, Ed Sheeran and Razorlight.
In May, Trinity's Constable John Gallichan declared that festival goers below the age of 16 would have to be accompanied by an adult, at the 2012 event, as measure to reduce underage drinking.
