Jay-Z is headlining Glastonbury festival because Radiohead didnt want to.
The rapper is topping the bill at the world famous music event on the Saturday night (28.06.0

He said: I was working on getting Radiohead and I had a feeling they wanted to do it but, when it went down, I said to my daughter Emily, Lets go with Jay-Z. Phone his agent.
Emily who helps her father organise the three-day music event has defended Jay-Z as a choice of headliner, insisting it fits with the festivals ethos.
She told Britains The Sun newspaper: People dont want change and theres an element who want it to be a Coldplay or Radiohead but the best thing we can do is give people something different.
A lot of people dont understand why Jay-Z is headlining but they havent seen him live. He is phenomenal. Every time someone comes to this festival they discover new music this year it will be a headliner.
Emily and Michael have been saddened by the avalanche of criticism over this years line-up, with Emily saying: Its upset us having to defend the festival this year. Its our home, we invite people here and its the best party in the world.
Michael added: This has been our life for 38 years, so of course it hurts when people have a go.
Glastonbury festival takes place in Somerset, Southwest England, over the weekend of June 27-29.
Kings of Leon and The Verve join Jay-Z as headliners.
