Kayne West was awful. Not my idea of music. Get some guitars, bass and drums up there and make some proper noise. Saturday night headliner at Glasto? There would have probably been better acts on the introducing stage.

Kanye West is currently one of the biggest names in music. The industry excitement of his first couple of albums seems to have been lost within the tabloid nonsense.
I don't listen to his stuff but it doesn't take a fan to realise that he's good at what he does. I saw him at a festival about 10 years ago and he was great fun.
Snobby Glastonbury elitism seems to be as consistent as the Somerset rain.

Missed out on tickets this year so hadn't properly looked at the line up. Initially declared it as being pretty pants. Can't say I was too enamoured with the headliners. But missing out on Everything Everyhting (saw them on Wednesday in Gloucester though), Jungle, Maccabees, Catfish, Wolf Alice, Glass Animals and Alabama Shakes, to name just a few, does smart a bit.
Just watched a snippet or two of Kanye's set. Can't say I really like his stuff...and he's a twat. But I did look bloody impressive. Fair play.
Just turned on the Lionel Ritchie stream, looks like him and the crowd are having an absolute blast.

Its funny how many angry posts there have been about Kanye. Lots of popele saying he shouldn't be there, in the same way the Metallica shouldn't have been there last year. If you dont like someone, don't watch them.
I remember back in 2000 (ish) when Eminem was billed for reading and the Rock/Metal scene were up in arms about it. He played again a few years ago and everyone loved it.
Same with Jay Z around that time too. Who cares who plays at a festival. Go see the bands/artists you like and enjoy it.

Different kind of festival, but has anyone ever gone to the Boomtown Festival in Arlesford in Hampshire.
Bit too folksy for me but I'd love to see Flogging Molly

Went to Boomtown last year and it was brilliant, plenty of variety to it. The effort they put in creating the different districts is amazing.

The band I used to manage played Glastonbury, Womad and Boomtown...Boomtown was by far the best set up and overall layout by far. |

Does anyone know why his drummer is playing behind what looks like a bullet proof screen?

Its a sound shield for when the drums are too loud for the group. |

Its to shield him from the overspill of sound from the other instruments and vice versa. Its fairly common practice with older artists with a lot of players on stage.
