Why all the Jay-Z hate? He wouldn't be the first rapper to play there, just the first to be so prominent in doing so. If people are basing their opinion of the man on stuff like "Hard Knock Life" then I strongly adivse you check out 2001's The Blueprint; one of the finest albums of this or any other decade. I just don't buy it that the headliners are to blame for slow ticket sales. The Verve are still a massive band (tickets for their brief tour sold out in a flash last year), even 10 years after they fell apart; Kings Of Leon have had 3 amazing albums and were awesome as second-top of the bill in 2004; Jay-Z is arguably the greatest rapper alive and I know people who are going purely for his appearance (no, they're not 15 years old). The real reason ticket sales are slow? Simple: it costs a £160 and you can go to many a festival for roughly half of that. Add that to the plethora of negative press the festival recieved last year (too middle aged and middle class etc.) and 3 years of sludge (which is actually quite good fun btw) then its safe to assume the casual festival goer would think twice about it all. Especially as the ticket-buying process has been like an endurance test for the last 4 years! Glastonbury will still always be the best festival, whether it sells out in an instant or not, and I for one am chuffed to buggery that I've got a ticket! See you at the stone circle :-D
