Plus Mark Ronson, Hot Chip and Hercules And Love Affair to play

Jay-Z will headline the O2 Wireless festival in Hyde Park in London on July 3.

According to the official O2 Wireless Festival website Mark Ronson, Hot Chip, Roisin Murphy and Hercules and Love Affair will also perform on the same day as the rapper.

The announcement follows organiser Michael Eavis' denial that Jay-Z was pulling out of Glastonbury after rumours circulated that he may withdraw.

Tickets go on sale on Friday (April 11) at 9am (BST). To check the availability of O2 Wireless tickets and get all the latest listings, go to NME.COM/GIGS now, or call 0871 230 1094.

Morrissey (July 4), Fatboy Slim (5) and Counting Crows (6) will headline the festival's other days.
