The Roundhouse in Chalk Farm, London is no stranger to live music, before it closed in 1983 it played host to the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd. So it was fitting that Vodafone chose the venue for it’s inaugural Vodafone Live music awards last night.
Whilst most attendees are doubtless still recovering from their hangovers after the raucous star-studded bash (the official site doesn’t even have its report up at the time of writing), we’ve roused in order to let you know that Muse were commended as best live act, U2 as international live act, The Automatic and breakthrough act and Reading/Leeds (co-sponsored by Nokia) scooped festival of the year.
Vodafone Live customers can relive the whole show on their handset to see exactly what they missed right now, but for everyone else, we’ve assembled the full list of winners below.
