Beyonce to headline Glastonbury

Bootylicious diva will close festival this summer.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 11 Feb 2011

HP ears are ringing with the news that none other than Beyonce will headline the final night of the Glastonbury festival this summer. The pop queen will play a full 90-minute show, alongside other rumoured headline acts Coldplay and U2. Of the festival, the singer said, "This really is the biggest festival in the world and I cannot wait to perform there". Jay-Z's other half is currently working on her 4th album and in a surprising move has been working with M.I.A producer's Diplo and Sleigh Bells in an attempt to create a more "organic sound".

Rumours that she will attempt a version of Oasis's 'Wonderwall' are as of yet, uncomfirmed.

She had her first major hit in 2000, as part of Destiny’s Child. Since then, her career has gone into overdrive, as she mastered the art of live performance, clocked up the solo hits, made a successful transition to the big screen and, just by the way, married one of black music’s most successful dynamos, Jay-Z. It’s been a hell of a decade for the girl from Houston, Texas.

It gives your reviewer great pleasure to report that on this album the singer has quite literally cut the crap and created a vibrant and inventive urban variation on an old school R&B set (that’s R&B as in rhythm in the beats and blues in the voice rather than rhinestones and baubles).
