Estelle to play Glastonbury
Glastonbury 2007
London star set for Worthy Farm
London rapper Estelle, who’s single ’American Boy’ (featuring Kanye West) is set for a high entry in the UK singles chart later on today (March 23), has revealed that she will play at the Glastonbury festival in June.
Speaking to BBC Newsbeat, the star confirmed that she would be appearing at the festival, and went on to say words of support for Jay-Z, who will be playing a headline slot at Glastonbury.
“What is Glastonbury?”, she said. “Why shouldn't Jay-Z headline it? He's a worldwide global superstar, not just an urban artist. It's credible music, it's not like he's doing, no disrespect, Will Smith-style rapping. He's doing lyrics that you can relate to.”
