From pop, metal, rap and beyond - what was your greatest gig of the year?

So the end of the year is nigh, and we're totally knackered. We've been at so many gigs, drunk so many £5.50 warm pints, sat through so many soundchecks, heard no end of forgettable support bands (and some awesome ones) - but that's not to see we're jaded. We live for live music, so it's been one hell of a ride. From Muse to Madonna via Wolf Alice and everything in between, here are the 30 best live acts we saw in 2015 - ranked in order of greatness.

From festival acts and arena kings to those rising through the ranks of sweaty toilet venues, we've seen some amazing shows this year. We could endlessly bang on about the many, many great nights we've had well into 2016. Alas, we can not. So we've narrowed it down to these guys.

These are 2015's 30 greatest live bands, ranked.
