Oasis have been voted this summer’s worst festival band by music fans after a lacklustre performance at Glastonbury.

The Mancunian rockers left some festival-goers disappointed after a set where they barely spoke to the crowds.

The Gallagher brothers were the headline act on the event’s Friday night but even Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis felt the band did not live up to his expectations.

At the time he said: “I’m an Oasis fan. I thought it was a good set but the two of them looked a bit grumpy and didn’t talk to the audience at all.

“In that sense I was a bit disappointed.”<br>
In the NME Festival Poll, 42% of those who voted for their worst band of the summer picked Oasis. In second place was The Darkness (26%), then The Strokes (17%) and The Libertines (15%).

More than 10,000 music fans voted online in the music magazine survey on everything from the best bands to the worst toilets.

Despite The Libertines performance being voted a disappointment, Carl Barat was named the Hero Of The Summer by festival-goers.

After Pete Doherty’s exit from the band, Barat went on to perform at T in the Park and the Carling Weekend without his fellow frontman.

Eavis was named runner-up followed by Sir Paul McCartney who attracted the biggest audience of the summer, estimated to be 80,000, at Glastonbury.

Glastonbury also topped the poll as the best value for money with almost three-quarters of the festivals’ fans saying the ticket price was worth it compared to 68% for V and 60% for the Carling Weekend.
