‘I think the line-up reflects what’s happening in the music world at the moment. There aren’t many new rock acts to choose from, if I’m honest,” she told BBC Radio 2.
‘Hopefully that comes up again, my heyday was 1995 with Pulp and Oasis and Radiohead… and that was great, but music is always changing and right now we’re at that point.
‘Every year we are criticized for being too rock, too grime, too hip-hop, too pop… that’s just part of our year.’
