Retro T-shirts news: Jay-Z steps up for London festival

16/02/2010

Rapper Jay-Z will be hitting the festival circuit in Britain again this year.

It seems that the US superstar had so much fun playing at Wireless and Glastonbury two years ago that he's decided to come back for more.

Fans of the 99 Problems singer will be able to see him as the headline act at the Wireless Festival in London's Hyde Park on July 4th.

His appearance at Glastonbury in 2008 set some tongues wagging over whether hip-hop would mix with the mud, tents and fields of Britain's most famous summer music event, but he got the crowd jumping.

This year though, he's swapped Glastonbury for the Isle of Wight, where he'll be taking to the stage on June 11th.

If you're not going to make it to a festival this year, then Jay-Z is still planning to play a few gigs around the country so that fans can wear their retro T-shirts to see the hip-hop star perform.

He's lined up to appear in Manchester and Birmingham ahead of his slot at the seaside festival in June.
