First up, the big guns. Sting is headlining, which is like having that one grandparent who can still out-dance everyone at a wedding. He’s bringing his solo hits and maybe a Police classic or two—how cool is that? Then there’s Diana Ross, who basically invented the word “icon.” Imagine the sun setting while she sings “I’m Coming Out”—it’s going to be pure goosebumps territory.
Why this works for everyone
Radio 2 knows its audience, right? They’re not just throwing old names at us; they’re curating a vibe. Peter Gabriel is in the mix too, and his set will probably make you feel like you’re in an art-house movie. And Shania Twain? She’s the queen of campy country pop, so expect glitter, denim, and a lot of “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” singalongs. Who else does that?
