Absolute joke, fuck glastonbury. That's it, some other mug can spend £200

How selfish of them for booking Kanye, let's just book all the acts that YOU want to see.

[OBface]

you sound like my old man haha.....britneys sold a lot of albums so she must be good eh? critcally acclaimed and `popular` mean nothing other then you were marketed well in todays music world.....talent is something very different but lets not go there or this will drag on all night

I'm not sure you understand the concept of critically acclaimed...

Clapton isn't even rumoured though!

[mrtourette]

fucking hell. well he's not THE MOST critically acclaimed artists of the 00's, but he's ONE OF the most. d;'you want me to give you his ranking in the top 100 or something?

Sure why not, rather than using some bullshit meaningless phrase. It's a perfectly reasonable booking, but trying to justify it by using a lame-duck phrase like 'he's one of the most praised artists' is bollocks. It's like saying Shed Seven are one of the most praised British rock bands in history. He sells a lot of records and gets a lot of Radio One airplay, which matters when it comes to Pyramid Stage headliners.

I don't think you know what critically acclaimed means, it has nothing to do with album sales? I mean every album he releases is highly praised and always tops "Best of 20__" lists by people who are paid to listen to hundreds of different styles, genres and musicians from all over the world

The Venn diagram of people who signed the 'Bring Back Clarkson' petition and people complaining about Kanye headlining Glasto is a circle.

Hahahahahahahah

[JAlexander191]

Over the moon about this, real crumpet of a guy but he's got some good tunes and will put on a great show. Hopefully Blur to close on the Sunday night now.

Shed Seven appear to have no critical acclaim:

Crikey, close to 6000 comments on KW on the Glastonbury official FB page, guessing at least 75+% negative,

Amazing.

[JBarbour]

Glasto's facebook and twitter!

Some right mugs commenting on it. Favourites so far

"So glad I didnt get a ticket" x1000

"so glad i'm not going this year" x1000

"ruined the festival"

"the festival is finished"

"death of the festival"

alright yeah, because everybody else's justifications that he shouldn't be headlining are all well thought out and have points to back them up. shut up mate

[elias]

Crikey. Bear shooting not looking so controversial now.

Not my thing at all and I'll be far away from the Pyramid, but good luck to those who enjoy his music.

Don't lump us all together

[stardustjunkie]

Definitely not their most popular booking, I think Metallica got a more positive response than Kanye!

I definitely wont be seeing him but you have to admit that whatever happens and whatever we all think, they pretty much always seem to pull it off...

[WS_Jack_III]

Good job it is already sold out mind. Would we have seen a late/no sell out like 08 if this had been announced before October?

Best post on any forum. Ever.

People have not paid their balances yet

(I don't think it will matter, but still)

[WolfAtYourDoor]

Kanye West will be amazing, especially if he did something similar to that Koko show from the other week. Plus, Kasabian headlined last year and they're absolute piss so...
