Oxegen Festival

The Irish event gives all other European festivals a run for their money. The three day fest’ this July saw Kings of Leon and newly reformed Blur headlining. The Script got emotional on stage as they sang to their home country while Lady GaGa strut her stuff in some seriously short shorts. One thing is for sure, people don’t come here for the weather but the music is damn good. Watch live performances from the festival here

Jamie T @ Electric Ballroom, Camden
Just down the road from MTV Towers our favourite JT played one of only a few live shows this year- his Autumn tour was later cancelled due to illness. Warming up for Glastonbury it was the first time MTV heard massive tunes from his second album - 368 and Spider’s Web. Read our full review here
 
Lil Wayne @ Hammersmith Apollo
With Weezy’s unpredictable reputation these London live shows really shouldn’t have been so polished. But the rapper surprised everyone with a proper live band and tracks like A Milli and Lollipop performed in style as the star smiled for the whole set. Read our full review here
 
Kasabian @ Wembley Arena
The Leicester boys are definitely one of the bands of 2009. Their Wembley gig this November was the pinnacle of a great year for them. Set in a giant frame drawing visual elements of West Pauper Lunatic Asylum and in an equally slick and rocking wardrobe the venue was ‘on fire’- sorry we couldn’t resist. The encore even featured a crazed Vlad the Impaler running around the stage– played by their famous mate Noel Fielding.
 
Radiohead & Arctic Monkeys @ Reading/ Leeds Festival
Radiohead once again proved they’re one of the best bands in the world with a set including recent In Rainbows tracks and classics like Paranoid Android and Everything In Its Right Place. At the same event Arctic Monkeys announced their live return proper by banging out the darker material from their third album. The Sheffield boys looked more than comfortable in front of such a huge crowd. Read our full review here
 
Beyonce @ O2 Arena
In June, Beyonce hit London’s O2 Arena bringing her I AM…tour to the capital. Renowned as a huge performer, Queen B did not disappoint playing classic songs from her Destiny's Child days to new tracks like Single Ladies and Sweet Dreams. Jay Z’s better half also thrilled the crowd with stunning costumes, diva dance routines and of course, those amazing vocals.
 
Blur @ Hyde Park
The Essex boys reformed for festivals and two very special shows in central London. And it seemed like nothing had changed since their heyday as the reunited band wore their Fred Perry shirts to play Park Life, The Universal, Song 2, Beetlebum and more of MTV’s favourite Blur songs. We’re just sad they haven’t stayed together.
 
Pink @ O2 Arena
Pink and her funhouse began their residency at London’s O2 Arena in December proving she is much more than just a great singer. MTV saw the lady herself performing extravagant circus acts whilst also storming through fan favourites Get The Party Started, Just Like A Pill and an amazing cover of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. Freddie Mercury eat your heart out!
