Chris Eustace - 12 January 2011

Heineken Open'er Festival has won Best Major Festival for the second year running at the European Festival Awards 2010 tonight (Wednesday 13 January).

It's been a year of acclaim for the Polish festival, which was also one of the 27 festivals to get a Green 'n' Clean Award - a marker of the most environmentally conscious events.

As the country's largest music and performing arts festival, 2010 saw headlining performances from Pearl Jam and Kasabian, while the likes of Grace Jones, Pavement and Klaxons also performed, with a host of other major, local and theatrical acts over the four-day event.

Heineken Open'er 2010 got an 8/10 review from Virtual Festivals' Gosia Jasinska last July.
