According to Reuters, Snoop Dogg has just been confirmed to perform at the massive Glastonbury Music Festival this year. Snoop will be the biggest rapper to perform at the event after Jay-Z’s controversial appearance in 2008. Festival organizer Michael Eavis called this year’s line-up, “staggering.”

Snoop will join U2, Stevie Wonder, Muse, and British rapper Dizzee Rascal at this summer’s event. Over 100,000 people are expected to attend the event in England this year, rain or shine. Snoop recently ended a battle with British border authorities to obtain a performer’s permit after he was banned from the U.K. for his involvement in a London airport fight in 2006.

In other news, DJ Shadow says he is “halfway done” recording his new album. The Bay Area native’s upcoming project is a follow-up to 2006’s The Outsider, which received mixed reviews. He says the latest album is a return to his old work.

“I’m about halfway done and I will be sharing music in the next few months,” he told Zanelow.com. “With this record, I really want to make music I’m at peace with. If I say it’s a slight return, I only mean in the sense that I had a thread going with some of the records I was doing, so let’s get back to that and see where that thread would be.”

The album has not been titled yet, nor has Shadow announced a release date.
