Suede, Turnstile, Weezer, Kneecap, Massive Attack, Kamasi Washington, Thundercat, Run the Jewels, Fontaines DC, Justice, Fat Dog, Khruangbin, The Streets, Pulp and Barry Gibb.
How does that compare with your groups interest in previous legends like Dolly, DiRo, Paul Simon etc?
Just had a look at some stats as I thought maybe my 44 year old perception might be a bit warped! Like a lot of us, my early musical interests were shaped by my parents and my mum is a bit of a Rod fan, so it resonates with me - his hits bring back family memories for me so I'm keen to see him.
Anyway, he's had 10 UK number 1 albums and 31 UK top ten hits. And the new metric of monthly Spotify listeners comes in at 12 million. Active for 6 decades, he has the vital stats to be eligible for the slot really.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see his popularity with the Glasto crowd, but I expect it's in the same region as DiRo.
