Liverpool Music Week has scooped Line Up of 2017 at the UK Festival Awards.

Elsewhere, there were big wins for Latitude, End Of The Road, Lost Village and TRNSMT, while Secret Garden Party founder Freddie Fellowes took the Outstanding Contribution award.
Previously held at Roundhouse, the event switched to East London’s Troxy and was presented by comedian Rufus Hound.
Fellowes, who picked up his award from event founder Steve Jenner, was honoured in recognition of his pivotal role in the formation of the boutique scene.
Previous winners have included Peter Gabriel, Michael Eavis and Rob da Bank. The final Secret Garden Party was held in July.
“I feel very humbled by this, and to tell the honest truth, this has been not only an honour and a privilege but also an utter blast to have been a part of,” said Fellowes
