Jay Z?

[thomasowen]

Jay Z is only headling isle of wight in this country, he's easily possible for leeds/reading, it would be a refreshing change to behonest instead of the usual type of bands who would headline

[JBarbour]

Reading and Leeds always has English festival exculsives headlining, therefore Jay Z won't headline.

[thomasowen]

You do know not every headline band is an exculsive. its prob just one every year that festival republic try and book that no other festival has - like radiohead last year

The headliners are always English exclusives. Therefore if Jay Z plays, he won't headline. It's really not that hard to figure out.

Also, it's not impossible for him to play 2nd from top, if his ego was what people seem to think it is, he wouldn't have had a lower billing to LP and Coldplay. The bottom line is, if he wants to play he will, regardless of line-up position (though any further down than 2nd seems unlikely!).

Below eminem.

With all the rock/metal festivals, maybe R&L will re invent themselves as a rap festival

[YumYum]

No, every headliner of Reading and Leeds is an English festival exculsive (exculding Glastombury).

Dizzee is co-headlining a couple of arena dates this year, he could probably sell out a few on his own, I don't know if Placebo sold out.

[YumYum]

any chance now with the news of him at TITP ?

[JBarbour]

Jay not headlining t, could leave it open to sub headline r/l?

Dizzie had three number one singles last year, he may not be the typical act at Reading but there is no doubt that he could play third. That would put him on par with Maximo Park, YYY's and Placebo who he is currently much bigger than.

Jay Z wouldn't sub headline for anyone, no way.

[JBarbour]

Ooh, a little embarassing now as he isn't headlining T in the park...

I wouldn't mind Jay Z at R&L but I'd hope he wouldn't be headlining (although I know he's easily big enough)

[Reading Local]

I don't think Jay-Z will actually sub-headline at TITP - wouldn't surprise me if headlined the R1/NME Outdoor stage on one of the days along with The Prodigy on another day (they are playing the 10th July at TITP which is the day that Eminem is headlining & no way Prodigy would play under him so they will be headlining the other stage for sure)

[Kyelo]

I am surprised to be honest, esspecialy as I would have thought he was bigger than Eminem at the moment. I think they will say they are coheadlining, I still don't think Jay Z would subheadline to a rock act.
