Jay-Z to host UK urban festival

[oaksie]

Jay-Z will be headlining The Prince's Trust Urban Music Festival - the UK's largest ever urban music event.

It'll take place at Earl's Court on the weekend of 8 and 9 May.

It's likely to be the last time we'll get a chance to see Jay-Z live as he's going to retire, and the event will feature a special tribute to him.

Alicia Keys, Lemar, Dizzee Rascal and Jamelia are also on the line up, and more US and UK artists will be announced in the lead up to the festival.

Tickets go on sale on Saturday 13 March. Visit www.umf.org.uk for details of how to book.
