US rapper Jay-Z is to headline this summer's Glastonbury Festival, it has been confirmed.
Organiser Michael Eavis told BBC Somerset the star was on the bill for the event in June.
He said he wanted to "break with tradition this time and put on something totally different".
Meanwhile, registration for the three-day festival has opened. Anyone wanting to attend must submit their details and a photo by 15 March.
Mr Eavis said he hoped Jay-Z would attract a younger audience to the event.
"He will appeal to the young people and under-25s for sure, so that's a big pull for them," he said.
"It's not like the traditional one we do, like Radiohead, Coldplay and Muse and Oasis."
