Glastonbury 2008

Glastonbury Goes Hip-Hop

Jay-Z made the trip from Brooklyn for one of the most talked about Pyramid headline shows in the history of the festival. The rapper won over a chorus od doubters with a blazing set that began with his own cover of Oasis' Wonderwall. Joining him at the festival were fellow headliners Kings of Leon, The Verve and 134,000 ticket holders for a sun drenched weekend which ended with Leonard Cohen leading the crowd in a memorable rendition of 'Hallelujah'.

      A 3 minute video clip that summed up the summer controversy plays on the big screens and then Jay-Z saunters out of the darkness with a guitar around his neck strumming along to Wonderwall. Epic moment.
