Kanye west confirmed

[Festiboi69]

Anyone else seen he deleted the tweet of him confirming glastonbury?

[willutalk]

only positive for these 'anti hip hop headliner' people is that Kanye is essentially the last hip hop act who could/would headline Glastonbury, so they'll be safe from another for a good while (although i guess Kendrick could soon be in that position)

Mmmmm.

I think people are complaining about the festival booking such an 'arrogant' person to headline the festival and the fact that it's not another white boys with guitars type of headliner.

I saw Eminem at Reading and was very pleasantly surprised, now being a rap fan and all that. I think with Kanye's status which is of a similar status to Eminem i'm expecting a show of the same hype and vibe. I think it's a quality fresh booking, that lots of my age group will absolutely relish.

I'm just so happy that we're not getting Coldplay for the nth time.

Am i the only person here excited for this booking?

I registered just to ask this question.

One of hip-hops most influential artists. Very hyped. With Kendricks new album and this announcement its been a good day for hip hop heads.

You've just posted that on Twitter haven't you?

I read that looking at #glastonbury trending...

[russycarps]

Kanye's show is passionate, less n word and more lights and talking about actual oppression. He will set the pyramid on fire I tell you!

oh right, I was just thinking about that song at the brits, I thought that was censored due to the n-word, and that other one n*ggers in paris or whatever its called

I'm male, 52 and think this is the best UK headliner booking at any festival this year so far. Like him or loathe him, he has us all talking - just as a great artist should.

To be fair even a shite artist would get everyone talking on here!

This is a good point. In the context of the other festival line ups, love or loathe the acts it is stronger than the competition so far (taking personal taste out of it)

Nope. Dont even have a twitter.

Don't mention the C word they could still pop up on the Sunday!

FFS!

He only lives in the moment.

Jeeze - uninspiring! Would be more stoked about the prospect of Westlife reforming to to perform a cover of Blurred Lines!

[Winslow Leach]

Am i the only person here excited for this booking?

Nah, I'm stoked too.

Ignore Russy, he hates everyhting except Flaming Lips and Lykke Li. We love him though.

Now that would be a wildcard

Looks like my petition worked then

[klipper]

Just to show how crap gigwise are as a music site- http://www.gigwise.com/news/98946/glastonbury-2015-headliners-kanye-west-reaction

Think people are referring to kanye with the J.E.S.U.S announcement from earlier today

This just alerted me to the fact that Geoff Barrow is a death grips fan. God today has been fucking awesome

No, but you'll hate Runaway too. It's 9 minutes long.

[efcfanwirral]

I am thrilled as it'll mean i get an evening away from

The pyramid without missing someone I like.

I'm still unsure on the effect on resale. What do you all think?

This?

[scrippit]

Just need Kendrick Lamar and D'Angelo to complete the holy trinity. Boy will that get some of the indie shoe gazers and late middle aged cider fanatics hot under the collar. Bring it on, for too long this forum has been desparate guess work and padding. Now we really have something to be excited/exorcised about!

[pedmills]

I thought I may as well make this very obvious petition before someone else did.

Lets hope it attracts some nutjobs.
