Jay-Z has performed cover versions of Rihanna, The Prodigy, Estelle and Amy Winehouse at a festival in Norway.

The rapper's set list is expected to be similar to the one he will perform at Glastonbury this weekend.

His headline performance at Hove in Arendal on Monday included reworkings of 'Umbrella', 'Smack My B***h Up', 'American Boy' and 'Rehab'.

It also included his hits '99 Problems', 'It's A Hard Knock Life', 'Big Pimpin'' and 'Girls, Girls, Girls'.

During the middle of the set, a stage visual of George W. Bush morphed into presidential candidate Barack Obama, which prompted cheers from the crowd.

The visuals also included images from the fallout of Hurricane Katrina, which struck New Orleans in 2005, reports NME.
