Jay-Z declares T In The Park a ‘home from home’

Rapper makes his first apperance at the event

Jay-Z declared that the T In The Park festival felt like a “home from home” as he played this evening (July 11) on the Main Stage.

The US rapper, performing before Kasabian‘s headline slot, included the likes of ’99 Problems’, ‘Run This Town’ and ‘Big Pimpin” in his set. He was not joined by Beyonce, despite rumours about his wife possibly collaborating with him sweeping the site before he came on.

Opening with ‘Run This Town’, the rapper then launched into ‘U Don’t Know’ before tee-ed up ’99 Problems’ by telling the crowd: “This is T In The Park so we’re gonna turn it up to 99.”
