"Jay-Z is the reason for poor ticket sales". No, the reason for poor ticket sales is because of all the middle-class Hooray-Henry types that can't bear the thought of having to get their Timberland boots a bit dirty again. ME has made a brave decision to get Jay-Z on the bill, and it should be applauded. One of the thing this festival has reveled in is it's diversity, and there you have it. The same mob moaning would have no problem going to watch Dizzee Rascal. Why? Because Dizzee is fashionable. Jay-Z is THE biggest name in hip-hop today. To get him onside with this sort of festival is massive. The weak line in the headline acts is The Verve. Really, does anyone care anymore?
