Marking 40 years since the release of ‘Horses’, the Godmother of Punk plays Field Day festival on 7 June next year. As well as that, last week The Vatican announced that Pope Francis had hand-picked Smith to play at the Concerto di Natale, the official Vatican Christmas Concert, on December 13; the performance, to be held at Rome's Auditorium Conciliazione, will also be broadcast live on television.
Sounds like the perfect excuse for us to dedicate the show to Patti!
We want your music suggestions for this special Patti Smith playlist, which could include tracks by her 1970s punk rock peers, fellow poetic musical wordsmiths, artists she’s been influenced by or in turn have influenced, collaborators or any other interesting musical connection.
