Oasis received the British Album of 30 Years award for “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?,” presented by Noddy Holder. The Spice Girls won Live Performance of 30 Years for their performance of “Wannabe” / “Who Do You Think You Are,” presented by Samantha Fox. The prestigious Outstanding Contribution to Music award was presented to Robbie Williams.
The night featured several other notable performances. Lily Allen opened with “The Fear,” followed by JLS performing “Beat Again.” Kasabian rocked the stage with “Fire,” and Florence and the Machine, joined by Dizzee Rascal, performed “You Got the Dirtee Love.” Jay-Z and Alicia Keys delivered a powerful rendition of “Empire State of Mind,” and Cheryl performed “Fight for This Love.” The show closed with Robbie Williams performing a medley of hits including “Bodies,” “Let Me Entertain You,” “Feel,” “Supreme,” “Millennium,” “Come Undone,” “Morning Sun,” “You Know Me,” “No Regrets,” “Angels,” “Everything Changes,” “Rock DJ,” and “Rudebox.”
Liam Gallagher made a surprise appearance to accept the Best Album of 30 Years award for Oasis. After thanking all of his former bandmates except for his brother Noel gave his award to a fan and threw his microphone into the audience, causing a 10-minute delay as organisers searched for it. Host Peter Kay responded to Gallagher’s antics by calling him “a knobhead.”
