Kanye West met an unruly crowd when he performed this weekend at the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, TN. Fans were upset that the rapper showed up over two hours late to his set, and didn’t start his performance until 4:30am, Sunday morning. Originally, West requested a time slot change from 8:30pm to 2:45am because he wanted to make the most of his glow-in-the-dark stage props.
Everything went to hell when Pearl Jam, a favorite at this year’s festival, played almost an hour longer than they were scheduled. After they were done, it took roadies over an hour to put up Kanye’s props. Angry fans started throwing glow sticks at the stage.
When West finally took the stage at 4:30am, many of the partygoers had gone back to their tents. The remainder greeted him with chants of “Kanye sucks“. He made no apology for his tardiness and cut his set short. The chants even continued throughout performances made by other artists on Sunday afternoon.
So much for “The Good Life“, Kanye. Somehow, I think you’ll have a little trouble selling out in Tennessee again.
