It's not just you. I have no idea who these people are.

Dunno. I’m 48 and have heard of a good two-thirds of the acts on there. I do have a 19yo DD though.

Oh yes they were the days!

And WTAF is Maya Jama wearing 👀 Clara Anto on the other looks fab! Also holding out for Kylie...

I have a 16 year old. No clue. Did go to an Arctic Monkeys gig though.

I also work in a school. Not heard of many of them.

Yes, feeling old. My 21 year old watched one act, and then disappeared upstairs.

Gooseysgirl · 02/03/2024 21:41

Yay!! We are big Dua Lipa fans

I'm 71 and I know most of them, in fact many are on my Spotify playlist. Love modern music - k-pop, hip hop, r&b, bass & drums. I don't feel "old" in the least!

TheDogsMother · 02/03/2024 21:51

Love Raye, Dua Lipa and Calvin Harris and I'm old. I left when it got to the hip hop, grime and rap category as I have no clue.

FrenchandSaunders · 02/03/2024 21:51

Big RAYE fans here.

Borris · 02/03/2024 21:51

Never heard of them

WeightoftheWorld · 02/03/2024 21:53

I'm only 30 and think I only know about half of the nominees! Can't believe how out of touch I clearly am for someone so young too...

I also love Raye and Dua Lipa like PP have said. My 5yo likes Dua Lipa too hah.

I don’t understand the hype about Raye, I know some of them, but not all. It always feels so flat and serious in recent years, was so fun in the 90’s

ChihuahuasREvil · 02/03/2024 21:57

Oh, but it all sounds the same. God I’m sounding like my parents.

WinterMorn · 02/03/2024 21:58

First time I have heard Raye and she’s not for me.

megacat · 02/03/2024 21:58

I thought exactly the same. I used to look forward to the Brits in the 90's. There were some iconic performances.

I listen almost exclusively to 70's/80's/90's music and will remain that way until I die.

Yeah but it really does.

Echobelly · 02/03/2024 22:03

I'm 46 years old and long ago passed the point of looking at posters for artists playing Wembley and thinking 'Who on earth is that?!'

Newtonianmechanics · 02/03/2024 22:08

I wonder if Kylie is sat there thinking who?

Raye is just like a Amy Winehouse tribute act.

AmusedMaker · 02/03/2024 22:10

It’s crap.
my 23 year old thinks the same so it’s not just an age thing.
