Welcome to

Glastonbury Festival is without a doubt the most famous of UK festivals. An infamous quagmire of muddy music fans brazenly braving the worst of the UKs climate to spend a weekend in a field listening to diverse music and generally having a great time.

This year Hip Hop Legend Jay-Z has been booked for as headline slot. He is by no means the first Hip Hop act to grace the stage at Glastonbury, but its the first time that a Hip Hop act, as opposed to to a classic guitars, drums, vocals band will headline.

Organiser Emily Eavis commented on the “interesting undercurrent” to some of the blogs and public statements objecting to Jay-Z’s place on the lineup. “I’m not sure what to call it,” she says, “at least not in public, but this is something that causes me some disquiet.”

So should the Glasto lineup be dominated by Guitar acts, or is it time that the lineup had a shakeup?
