Kanye west confirmed

[OBface]

kasabian arent a bunch of egotistical cock wombles who are so desperate for fame they interrupt other artists awards show speeches, who autotune live and on record, who dont write half of their own songs and who are more famous for generally saying stupid shit in the media then any of their musical talent? that about sum it up? I dont like kasabian but fuck me kanye is the `anti music` as far as im concered,. as bad as x factor and the rest....more about celebrity bullshit then his music these days, why the fuck are glasto promoting that kind of trash let alone giving it headliner status? thank fuck for the other stage!(hopefully)

Honestly don't know where to start with this.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

That's gonna be one empty pyramid crowd

how can you have an "empty crowd", that makes no sense whatsoever

[CaledonianGonzo]

ROAR! THE OVER-INFLATED EGO OF THIS PERFORMER DISPLEASES ME!

How does that show he's 'one of the most critically praised artists of the 00's'? All that shows is that he has an 'average career score' (Oh my dear Lord) of 80/100 according to a bullshit online review site.

[Chimps in Balaclavas]

Not my cup of tea so I'll be elsewhere on site, great booking though.

[Winslow Leach]

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

Nobody mentioned sales, except you.

[JoeyT]

Just had a brief listen and to be fair I do like his musical output. His first 3 albums are awesome. As a rapper he's great, as a singer he's awful and as a person he's the absolute pits so I can see why he divides opinion in such a way.

I'm currently in a glass case of emotion and I don't know how to feel!

[SloopJohnB]

Beat you to it by seconds ^

Haha....was close though

[phil the shrew]

Not really one on my to see list, but no problem with the festival booking this type of act rather than just stick to the three guys and a drummer type acts. If nothing else it might shake up the picnic and deck chairs crew who camp out at the pyramid all day long

Might pop along and see a few songs, could also be a good festival game to also see acts with north, east and south in their band of act name

Really don't get comments that people will return tickets because they don't like one of hundreds of acts on during the course of the weekend.

[scrippit]

Brilliant booking - I dont usually bother with the headliners at Glasto but this one will get my full attention. I am very pleased to report that for the second year running I find I am at the opposite end of the musical spectrum to Mr Penguin.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is one of my top ten albums of all time and I am confident that Kanye will give us an epic show. Ignore what youve read in the papers, he is undoudbtedly one of the most innovative artists of the last ten years, referenced by the fact that virtually every current rapper of note seems to have followed his lead.

I remind you that there are 57 or so other stages folks - I have seen some stupid comments here!

[MEGABOWL]

whoever is headlining jazz world ,the Other and all stages will be pleased .........set to be the lowest ever Headline audience.

I'm not a fan and wont go and watch him but come on, you can't seriously believe this. A massive tabloid and Radio 1 friendly attention whore like Kanye will get a huge crowd.

[topmarksbri]

People angry that headliner isn't white men playing guitar

[Alcatraz]

They don't actually have tickets to return

[Dave1.1]

Don't like his music and won't be there to see him, but some of the reactions to this are way over the top.

[TomViolence]

Meh, definitely will not be watching. I guess this makes Swift as a headliner unlikely though

doesn't matter what you think. you're wrong.

Hi music is close to unplayable on Radio 1. Before dark at least

[Callum_96]

This is a great booking, something different and he puts on a hell of show so I'll definitely be going to the Pryamid to see it

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

[CaledonianGonzo]

WHAT SORT OF SELF-ENTITLED MONSTER DEMANDS CROISSANTS?

[OBface]

You could make it clearer by explaining what you mean by 'one of the most'.

Arguably the most critically acclaimed artist of his genre. That do?

[matt2007]

A racist, homophobic, mysgonist has no place at Glastonbury
