The Devon trio, who headlined the event with a set that featured them playing their 2001 second album 'Origin Of Symmetry' from start to finish, scored an average score of 7.87 in the poll, which saw over 800,000 votes cast.

My Chemical Romance came a close second with their own headline set, scoring an average of 7.75. The Midnight Beast weren't far behind, ending up in third spot with an average score of 7.49.
