- Early Years
2012
2012's NME Awards were ones to remember with Noel Gallagher accepting the award for Godlike Genius saying: "To all the people down here who ever cited me as an influence you are fucking welcome. You are welcome." Florence And The Machine won two awards while Michael Eavis promised Glastonbury would be back with a strong line-up in 2013 after accepting the award for Best Festival. The Most Dedicated Fans awards went to Muse and Justin Bieber was dubbed Worst Villain of 2012... and Worst Album.
