The Troglodyte: Download is primarily aimed at the Kerrang! market with its mix of metal, punk and emo.Reading (and latterly, Leeds) have played host to a vast range of artists across a number of genres.Glastonbury is a contemporary arts festival. Not a guitar music festival. Not an indie festival. Contemporary arts. Like it or loathe it, rap and hip hop are contemporary arts.I'm not a fan of Jay Z, or his genre, but in choosing him as a headliner, the family Eavis have proven they have a solid understanding of their remit.
