The former Oasis musician played a set of his hit songs, including Don’t Look Back in Anger and If I Had A Gun, to close the event.
Other performers included Florence and the Machine, Kasabian, Pulp and The Horrors.
Big winners included Florence – who beat Adele to Best Solo Artist – and Foo Fighters, who were named Best International Band.
The awards are an annual event crowning NME readers’ favourite indie rock bands, festivals, films and TV shows, and as befits the mag, the awards are bronze gongs in the shape of a hand giving a one-fingered salute.
