Glastonbury organisers are mixing it up this year: they’ve signed up Roc Boy Jay-Z to headline the festival instead of the usual array of dreary indie bands.

Event organiser Michael Eavis has indicated that they’re looking to attract a younger crowd this year. In comments to the BBC, he said that they want to “break with tradition this time and put on something totally different” and that Jay-Z “will appeal to the young people and under-25s for sure, so that’s a big pull for them”.

Ironically, the veteran performer this year is to be Neil Diamond, who is likely to either repel the youthful, muddy hoards or to suddenly become cool by association with the festival. I’m not quite sure which.

Anyway, details of the rest of the line-up are being closely guarded, so you’ll have absolutely no idea who you’re signing up to see. Fantastic!

If you want to go to Glastonbury this year, you need to register via their website before midnight on 14 March 2008. Tickets go on sale on 6 April, but you must have registered in advance to be able to purchase one.

This year’s Glastonbury weekend runs from 27-29 June.
