Festival goers were pissed when Kanye West’s set was delayed for more than two hours. I would be too. He requested a late night performance at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Tennessee but did not go on when he was scheduled. The festival crowd responded by chanting “Kanye sucks” and throwing glow sticks at the stage. What’s up with Kanye and glow sticks anyways?

He was supposed to take the main stage at 2:45 a.m. on Sunday morning. The concert goers were getting sleepy and waiting for West to come on stage. A message on the jumbotrons told them his show would be delayed until 3:15 a.m. and when that didn’t happen, 3:30 a.m.

West didn’t actually get on stage until 4:25 a.m. because there were problems setting up his elaborate stage set. The set included an interplanetary landscape, wavy black platform, slanted floor in the middle and a video screen above for his galactic themed concert… complete with a spaceship. At Bonnaroo, really?

Most of the crowd were mad and lost energy and returned to their camp sites. During his performance the morning light came out to show the crowd had disappeared. The crowd was still upset the next day and were encouraged by other bands to continue the “Kanye sucks” chant. Poor Kanye.
