Mii de petrecareti vor lua cu asalt, vineri, micutul oras Glastonbury, la startul oficial al festivalului care poarta acelasi nume. Prima seara va fi deschisa de Foals, Kate Nash, post punkerii de la Young Knives, Booka Shade, James Zabelia, Operator Please si multi altii. Insa, bomba festivalului din acest an este controversata aparitie pe care o va avea rapperul american Jay-Z.
Dupa cum scria celebra publicatie NME, fanii festivalului Glastonbury au reactionat negativ la aflarea vestii ca headlinerul evenimentului va fi nimeni altul decat rapperul Jay-Z. In plus, Noel Gallagher de la Oasis a spus la BBC Radio ca invitatia facuta rapperului a fost "o decizie gresita a organizatorilor evenimentului". Sa speram ca fanii nu se vor infuria si se vor bucura de intreg line-up-ul fesivalului":
