MOBO award-winning grime artist Lady Leshurr said: "In my experience, I have found the music industry to be ageist at times; I have been asked to make my age younger, suggesting I don’t have a lot of time left if I want to make it, which is quite upsetting and frustrating because talent doesn’t have a time limit!"

Spandau Ballet star Martin Kemp added: "I loved this the moment I first heard the idea; it’s the stuff dreams are made of, just when you think life has passed you by, an opportunity like this comes along.

"To be able to give these bands a moment they have always dreamed of on one of the biggest festival stages in Britain was something I will never forget."
