Jay-Z for the Pyramid stage
Now, we're all for the idea of Jay-Z turning up at the Glastonbury Festival - it's all confirmed now; BBC Radio Somerset got the scoop. But we're not sure that Michael Eavis has really thought this through:
"He will appeal to the young people and under-25s for sure, so that's a big pull for them.
"It's not like the traditional one we do, like Radiohead, Coldplay and Muse and Oasis."
"It's not like the traditional one we do, like Radiohead, Coldplay and Muse and Oasis."
Is Jay-Z really more attractive to the teenage market than Radiohead are? Especially amongst the sort of people who'd go to Glastonbury? Isn't this an older, middle-class, white bloke's idea of 'the sort of thing the kids like'?
And, with tickets costing more than ever, requiring a credit card and ID checks, is having a rapping singer on the bill really going to do that much to bring younger people back to the festival?

They could have a midget slapping a donkey for 90 minutes as the headlliner and Glastonbury would still sell out.
and, having spoken to a few people earlier, I was under the impression that Radiohead would be performing at Glastonbury this year...
ooh imagine a midget radiohead slapping a donkey for an hour...
