Rap superstar Jay-Z will headline this summer Glastonbury Festival in the UK, it’s been announced.
The event’s organiser, Michael Eavis, said he wanted to "break with tradition this time and put on something totally different" by having the rapper on the line up.
He adds he hopes Jay-Z will attract a younger audience to the event.
"He will appeal to the young people and under-25s for sure, so that's a big pull for them.
"It's not like the traditional one we do, like Radiohead, Coldplay and Muse and Oasis."
It’s not yet known who else will appear at the event.
Registration for tickets has just opened.
