Kanye West

[ericlered]

Not denying that, I just find it fascinating, I mean he's by in large the most interesting pop star we have right now.

I must admit, i don't find a single thing about him interesting, not sure why you think he is?

[Vanderlyle]

I also have to say I have never considered Kanye West as an interesting topic of discussion. Sometimes an appropriate person to reference when discussing topics such as overinflated egos, douche-bag celebrities, how rap is changed for the worse, things that epitomise what is wrong with the world today etc.

[CaledonianGonzo]

There you go then. He gets up you nose.

Sometimes a bit of divisive hubris and colourful self-importance is more interesting than a sea of unremarkable beige

I think he's said on occasion that no one is acting like a real rock star anymore except for him, he's just trying to be entertaining.

Which is a convenient excuse I guess...

In fairness to Kanye, that guy ain't got the answers

Just seen on a different forum that somebody spoke to Michael Eavis the other day and that's he's confirmed that Kanye West is booked to be a headliner, and the lineup is going to be released 26th March? Who knows... could all be Chinese whispers and rumours

Kanye west is definitely "poppier" than the usual rock acts ... and isn't as big as Gaga/Rihanna from the hints Neil has. Could it be him? I think he would take a slot under Prince, especially given Glasto's notoriety over Wireless. Although Jay Z got to headline, so maybe his ego wouldn't allow for a sub slot.

No. He's not doing Glasto, 100%.

Or alternatively, it's bollocks.

Kanye is not booked for Glastonbury.

Line-up is not being announced on 26th.

These are things I know.

I will take your wise words as the truth kind Sir! Do you have a date for when the lineup is being announced, per chance?

So when is the announcement?

Does that mean you have a hunch of when the Line up will be announced?

I am going bet Neil's been told something like "It will be late this year" rather than a date.

Queue us getting a suprise at 9pm tonight

Wish it was true. He'd be the most exciting act since... The Rolling Stones.

I think everyone on this forum should have a communal 'Agree to disagree' on whether acts or good or not

You do know how forums work right?

Then we lose the battle against the bellend who thinks that Mumford and Sons are good and Neil Young is bad. Sometimes it's not subjective, and sometimes people wont see reason.

It'd be rather queit if we no longer argued over how shit bands are!

[hjglasto]

*selfishly prays it's kanye or someone else weak who might reduce ticket sales a bit in the resale so I'm marginally more likely to get one*

Mainly because massive attack and hopefully pixies are on other, not that bothered about pyramid headliners.

Have the backup of a place to steward with oxfam luckily but a ticket would be nice.

Are Kasabian actually headlining Sunday? I know I'm a New Zealander so I can't really speak of their popularity, but that's a pretty boring headliner. Also Arcade Fire, saw em at BDO 14 over here, good band, but if it's them, Kasabian and Kanye, I personally think the most interesting headliner will be Kanye.

But not a great lot of headliners really?

Kanye will be the most interesting headliner regardless of who the other two are. Definitely so if the other two alongside him were Arcade Fire and Kasabian, who are both predictable choices.
