LAST NIGHT, KANYE West was announced as the Pyramid Stage headliner at this year’s Glastonbury Festival.
The hip-hop artist, who yesterday inspired a new meme, will headline the Saturday night at the music festival. He joins Foo Fighters on the bill, who will perform on the Friday night.
The news has elicited a mixed reaction.
On the one hand, many festival goers are excited/jealous.
Whoops!

While others were fuming.

Now, some displeased fans have gotten it together to form a petition to prevent West from performing at the festival.
The petition implored festival organisers to “cancel Kanye West’s headline slot and get a rock band”.
Kanye West is an insult to music fans all over the world. We spend hundreds of pounds to attend glasto, and by doing so, expect a certain level of entertainment.
The petition has so far attracted 1,314 signatures and a ream of angry comments.
Kayne is the worst musician ever. Without his autotune he’d be selling pencils on the street.
Hes rubbish and glastonburys about rock bands
He is a waste of money and human skin
The petition itself has also been subject to ridicule on Twitter.
Whoops!

We don’t think that people are looking on the bright side — if Kanye performs at Glasto, Kim is definitely going to have to schlep through the mud at some point.
And that, our friends, will be a sight to behold.
