Kanye west confirmed

[Winslow Leach]

One awesome thing about Kanye playing? It's going to be the ideal night to get to the south east corner early before the massive crushes and get into some of the venues while everyone else is trying to watch Kanye either get over or crash and burn....thanks for clearing a path Mr west....wouldn't watch you in a million years but you just may keep enough people away from the se corner for a while to make it halfway tolerable to get down there ;p

I'm still confused, can you just clarify if you like Kanye or not?

[CaledonianGonzo]

He's right that every previous night in the fest's history the SE Corner is a no go area due to everyone avoiding the Pyramid Stage because the acts that are playing are better than Kanye.

[Amy Lawn]

Can't think of a time in recent memory when the people who don't like a headliner have acted like such children, for example; Wanderlei, Nuthugger and CanWeRest have just gone through this thread and downvoted posts from people excited about Kanye. Two of them are just lurkers who barely post, if you're here to just be negative and childlike instead of contributing, fuck off. Trolls.

In terms of the majority of the set

[Bradders]

That's an incredible setlist with regards to the songs chosen, but I'm not sure about the ordering or the stage show he has. Far too minimal for headlining the Pyramid. I really hope he's got something good up his sleeve and this is gonna be as good as it can be.

[ChrisTGA]

Can't wait now.

Very well said .

[sloseph]

i expected to have his new album by now, do we think we'll get it before the fest?

I was expecting it by now too but at this stage I'm not especially hopeful for it. Still, we know he's planning the surprise kind of release that's so popular more so it could happen any day. The fact that he recently changed the name suggests he's still actively working on it.

[st dan]

Wouldn't surprise me if he dropped the album on the Saturday he headlines.

He's going to be talked about and be all over the TV and papers that week, so no better time to gain publicity to go alongside an album release.

[Kanye's Cock]

do people think kanye west will see glasto as a really big thing? I hope so. I want to see live instruments, incredible light shows and hundreds of dancers and acrobats. naked men in war paint banging drums to love lockdown and so forth.

I am so excited to see him but it would break my tiny heart if he came out to very little showstopping glitz and glamour and just sulked his way through 20 songs whilst lying on the floor and then left.

[sloseph]

Well he rocked up to Big day out in a cherry picker and that's hardly the biggest festival so I think he'll probably make is something pretty special

I think that is why I will be there, It really could go either way or have a bit of both.

I am really hoping that it will be something special

if not ill just make sure I am on the West Holts side and go see Mothership

[Mash011]

I'm confident he'll put on a show at least equal to his coachella show though I have a hunch it'll be bigger than that. Despite his obvious popularity he still has a lot to prove and this is a big chance for him to take another step up.

Was that the same year as his Coachella headlinr slot? He did something very similar there so probably just did the same thing at all his festivals that year

[sloseph]

not a clue, i google Kayne cherry picker and the first few hits were Big Day Out, it's entirely possible he's done it more than once

[topmarksbri]

I hope he comes on stage to Justin Biebers baby at a low hum underneath him ranting for 3 hours about how guitar music is for virgins and closet racists. He goes on to bring out Lemmy and The Who who get tripped up by Kim K on their way. Kim then declares herself more important musically than either of them (thanks to the music on her iPhone game). The next hour is dedicated to Kanye describing his meeting with Macca who described him as 'like John Lennon with talent'.

And it would still be better than Foo Fighters.

[topmarksbri]

as long as he puts on something a bit less `minimul` then that video example above.....looks like a club show not even a backdrop.

Talented musicians don't need backdrops (or choirs) pal, let the music do the talking.

It'd be better than Blur 09

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Anyone else think that the Sunday 7:30pm slot at Wango Riley's Travelling Stage could actually be a Kanye West secret show...? ;-)

[kalifire]

Interesting that Kanye's team have been given a full hour to set up. That's longer than anyone else on the bill, as far as I can see. It's a promising sign he isn't just going to come out and rap by himself in front of a big screen.

[sloseph]

I did think the gap between Pharell and Kanye was quite large, which originally made me happy that I wouldn't have to watch Pharell and now secondly because it looks like it means we're getting something spectacular

[Gnomicide]

Takes a long time to make sure you've plugged the USB stick in properley.

[FloorFiller]

bahh was hoping he;'d be getting at least an hour 45, but ah well. agree that the long gap is promising - hopefully he's putting on a real spectacle of a show!

still a bit disappointed the new album isn't ready in time - would've quite liked to have seen some new songs played live as bar one or two this set will be identical to the one i saw at Wireless last year. still gonna be amazing, mind

[willutalk]

To be fair I think he seems like and act who'd push the boundaries with the curfew so I can see him pushing on midnight.

I really cannot wait for him. I have a feeling he'll pull off a stunning show and that one hour gap does suggest a prolific stage setup to accompany the great Pyramid stage and his music of course. Let's just hope that he gets in the musical zone rather than the ranting zone!
