Glastonbury was named Festival Of The Year, Arctic Monkeys took home Song Of 2013 for ‘Do I Wanna Know?‘ and Foals picked up the Artist Of The Year gong at the first ever Fly Awards, which were held in London last night (February 6th).

Elsewhere, Parquet Courts‘ ‘Borrowed Time‘ was chosen as the publication’s Album Of 2013, and both Thurston Moore and The Horrors picked up their previously announced prizes.




“War Child believe the best music can change not only people’s mood but people’s lives,” Ben Knowles, director of fundraising at War Child – who presented The Horrors with their prize – has previously said.
