Coldplay have been named the best festival headliner of 2011 for their performances at Glastonbury and T In The Park

The band topped a poll of listeners to radio station BBC 6 Music ahead of The National at Latitude and Muse at Reading and Leeds.

6 Music DJ Shaun Keaveny said of Coldplay’s winning performance: “To witness Coldplay at Glastonbury this year was like welcoming an old mate back to your local pub.

“Coldplay are as at home on the Pyramid Stage as any band on the planet - and effortlessly pounded the crowd into a euphoric singalong. New songs and old songs all flowed into one as the sun set on a glorious Glasto Saturday evening.”

The top-10 also included Pulp in fourth for their performances at Reading and Leeds and Foo Fighters at number six for Isle of Wight.

In Gigwise's poll to find the best festival headliner of 2011, Muse are still leading – vote now to make a difference.
