Jay Z is gonna be amazing. Just because he isn't what people consider to be an obvious headliner, they are critizing it. But he is so entertaining as a rapper, and if it weren't for him people like Kanye West wouldn't even have a career.People don't know what they're talking about he'll be amazing

Skybluepancho-whats wrong with American people headlining festivals. There are so many good amercian artists as well as british-festivals are normally the best way to see some of them as they do not tour in the UK that much. The Strokes wouldn't headline they haven't had an album out in years, and Kings of Leon played 2nd from headline last year, so thats unlikely too.And personally, I think Jay-Z is an AMAZING headline for Glastonbury. He is an amazing hiphop artist and something really interesting to introduce to people who might not normally listen to him. If they can get Shirley Bassey to play why not Jay-Z? Just because he is a hip-hop artist people are rallying against him.And Killers-meh. So average not impressed as a headliner
