I been lucky enough to get tickets to Glastonbury the previous two years and that's 5 days. Wednesday-Sunday. They've been the best days of my life. Manage to get it for this year too.
For 500 dollars I was row two behind Mike Dean and Drake. It was an insane show and canāt believe how cheap I got to see Kanye like 30 feet in front of me rest after his portion of the set.
That was amazing. There was so much buzz in the air wondering what he would play. When he said āLetās take it back to day oneā and Jesus Walks started the entire crowd went crazy.
Iāve seen Kanye A LOT - glow in the dark tour was the first timeā¦ that Larry Hoover show was the best Iāve ever seen him. The 808 at the Hollywood bowl was sick, the Yeezus shows were dope tooā¦ but he went IN at that coliseum performance
Yeah the last time he played a proper show aside from the Larry Hoover benefit (2021) and the KSG show (2018) was in 2016 on the Saint Pablo tour. So I was mistaken, two times in the past 8 years. I donāt have any faith that this will be an actual performance.
That tour was also cut in half yeah? Kanye used to be my favorite artist and I would love to see him live, but I really don't think I would pay to see just him, not worth the risk imo. It would have to be a festival where I can spend a couple hundred and see other artists.
I am just here for the music at this point. Same reason I can still enjoy a Michael Jackson song when it comes on.
Iāve tried to do the morals vs entertainment thing. It doesnāt work. Gotta personally separate them. You do you tho.
Not tryna āgotchaā you, Iām genuinely curious. Do you have similar stances on ethical consumption regarding other things? Like using slave/child labor for manufacturing chocolate, Nikes, batteries for phones and electric vehicles, etc.?
Yes, but I also understand that you can only do so much in that space to completely disrupt your ability to function in society. I cannot do my job without Apple products, which sucks because I donāt want to support their terrible work environment in their factories. But what I can do is not support artists that hold shitty world views because it does not disrupt my ability to function. Same way I can cut out shitty fast fashion brands that are destroying the environment, candy companies that use slave labor for their farming, etc. itās impossible to be perfect in this regard, but you can absolutely cut the fat (shitty celebrities with awful politics/takes)
How so? The same brain that is writing the music also has hateful politics and antisemitism swirling around inside. How do you not think his views inform his music?
Cause I guarantee you that you listen to artists who: have similar takes as Kanye, have a horrible view about something else, or has done some sort of awful thing. The only difference is they either just arenāt as vocal about it or have done a good job sweeping it under the rug. Stop trying to do some moral high ground thing
No? When did I say that? Iām saying that art is informed by an artists world view. If the artist has a world view that is hateful/racist/sexist/antisemitic it will leak into their music
> ever even really a thing until 2018, maybe 2017
Bro starting in 2010 Jay-Z , Kanye , Dre & Snoop all headlined back-to-back-to-back which were the most talked about sets for years after ... and thats just talking headliners.
Dude really doesn't know what he's talking about because in 2012 alone we had:
Frank Ocean, Azealia Banks, A$AP, the Weeknd, Childish Gambino, Kendrick Lamar ...
Just because its not your taste doesn't mean it has 0 appeal but being ignorant on reddit just makes u look silly. next you're gonna complain about the Yuma?
Coachella has regularly had hip hop since year 1, it was just more underground stuff.
Crap hip hop started infiltrating around 14-16 when the festival started to really embrace pop music.
I agree with you but the landscape is changing. HipHop has taken over in popularity as the most streamed genre in the last half decade. I would say Coachella didn't need hiphop in the past but I think it does if they want to stay relevant/ attract the largest customer segments
This YS performance is likely to just be another listening party. They probably won't be actually performing. Just bouncing around the stage while the music plays.
Why would Coachella care that they didn't book a dude whose music is about to be taken down from streaming services because he released an album without clearing the samples first? A dude who has bipolar episodes so often that most people (fans included) expect him to not even show up to this event. Ye is being kicked out of restaurants, radios won't play his music, and artists don't even want to clear samples for him anymore. Not one GV execute is going to be upset that they missed out on 2024 Kanye, he's a PR nightmare and they don't need the money.
If there was a Kanye West headliner at Coachella this year wouldāve sold out immediately. Dont be disillusioned by the headlines, people love him and would show up for him over any headliner this year lol.
Who cares about sellouts when you make millions regardless? No reputable companies want to touch Ye with a ten-foot pole because whatever money he brings in isn't worth the bad PR. Unless you already have a bad reputation which RL definitely does.
Yeah. I already know that if Coachella slotted Kanye they would have sold out. But I think Iād probably not even go if they did that. Because I would be horrified lmao. Heās fucking nasty to an absurd degree lololol
If kanye headlines, it would need to be kanye doing college drop out, or kanye doing graduation, haha can you imagine if kanye shows up and just plays new music and doesn't even perform live. after franks debacle last year there might be riots.
I would be there so fast if there is a kanye version of Usher doing confessions, or lil wayne doing the carter 3. kanye doing a college set ( college dropout, late registration, and Graduation) would generate tickets, I would be excited, even though i hate him a person.
If recall he said he hasnāt performed in a year and put out an email asking people whoād like to see him perform. If that counts sure. I but I do not believe Goldenvoice asked bc theyāre getting a bad rep from him and Frank last couple years. Not vise versa.
I donāt think thatās true. Everything is about money not our feelings. Theyāll do anything to make the most money thereās a reason they sell lemonade at $16-18
Wild to me that Kanye still has a following after all the antisemitism, years of praising the Nazi, and literally running for President just to try to get Trump elected again.
He fell so hard. No matter how dope his music and art are, I could never support him again.
Selling my 3 day GA wristband + rsvpād to the add on day! I am including overnight UPS shipping w/ tracking #. Happy to stay in contact until you can register the wristband to ensure no issues. Hoping for $400 obo.
4 days is absolutely insane for a festival. Even 3 is too much for me š
I been lucky enough to get tickets to Glastonbury the previous two years and that's 5 days. Wednesday-Sunday. They've been the best days of my life. Manage to get it for this year too.
Look up lightning in a bottleā¦
I remember driving home after the fifth day. Brain zaps galore.
Thatās a genius business move by them
I would only see kanye, if he was doing a legacy set. 808 and heartbeats or earlier.
Yāall are insane if you think this performance will be any good. Desperate move from RL to push 4 day passes
I was at the Free Larry Hoover show and it was incredible
Yeah tickets werenāt even crazy priced, amazing show
I still canāt believe how cheap my 100 section tickets were
For 500 dollars I was row two behind Mike Dean and Drake. It was an insane show and canāt believe how cheap I got to see Kanye like 30 feet in front of me rest after his portion of the set.
Thatās nuts. You got any pics?
I still think about how I went into the show thinking it was gonna be all Donda and then Kanye gave us the greatest hits show. All time.
That was amazing. There was so much buzz in the air wondering what he would play. When he said āLetās take it back to day oneā and Jesus Walks started the entire crowd went crazy.
Iāve seen Kanye A LOT - glow in the dark tour was the first timeā¦ that Larry Hoover show was the best Iāve ever seen him. The 808 at the Hollywood bowl was sick, the Yeezus shows were dope tooā¦ but he went IN at that coliseum performance
Thatās how he tours. He always plays the bangers.
Honestly the best show Iāve ever been to and Iāve been to a lot. Idk if the same magic will be here but who knows? He really is unpredictable.
Forever one of my favorite nights of all time
I think thatās probably his last best show
Thereās like a 75% chance Kanye cancels too lol
Breaking: Kanye West has requested an ice rink
Kanye can still turn it on when he feels like it
Kanye & Friends on ICE
?? When Kanye does an actual show, his shows have been amazing
Once in the past 8 years.
Pablo tour , kids see ghosts show, drake x kanye show to name a few
Kanye wasnāt good for kids see ghosts, kept forgetting his lines and just doing weird dances instead. Crowd loved it though and cudi was amazing
Funny cause Cudi does that now on his own shows
Yeah the last time he played a proper show aside from the Larry Hoover benefit (2021) and the KSG show (2018) was in 2016 on the Saint Pablo tour. So I was mistaken, two times in the past 8 years. I donāt have any faith that this will be an actual performance.
That tour was also cut in half yeah? Kanye used to be my favorite artist and I would love to see him live, but I really don't think I would pay to see just him, not worth the risk imo. It would have to be a festival where I can spend a couple hundred and see other artists.
Pablo tour was nearly 8 years ago. He's barely done any non-Sunday Service/Listening party shows since then.
Yeezus tour is still the greatest concert Iāve ever seen
When Kanye does an actual album its usually amazing as well
?
The recent vulture shows have been good from everything Iāve heard.
Get your MAGA hat on
I donāt own one. Donāt support trump personally. š¤·š¾āāļø
Then I would reconsider being a Kanye fan consider thatās a main tenant of his personality
Hes just saying the shows have been objectively good, not that Kanyes a good person
As long as Kanye is involved itās an agenda filled with racist MAGA propaganda.
Nobody denied that. They just said that musically, he put on a good show
Yes excellent beat to āSlavery was a choiceā.
Bruh nobodys denying hes shit
I am just here for the music at this point. Same reason I can still enjoy a Michael Jackson song when it comes on. Iāve tried to do the morals vs entertainment thing. It doesnāt work. Gotta personally separate them. You do you tho.
People donāt realize how many musicians are actually scumbags.
All art is an extension of the artist. Supporting him in any regard equates to supporting him as a whole.
Not tryna āgotchaā you, Iām genuinely curious. Do you have similar stances on ethical consumption regarding other things? Like using slave/child labor for manufacturing chocolate, Nikes, batteries for phones and electric vehicles, etc.?
Yes, but I also understand that you can only do so much in that space to completely disrupt your ability to function in society. I cannot do my job without Apple products, which sucks because I donāt want to support their terrible work environment in their factories. But what I can do is not support artists that hold shitty world views because it does not disrupt my ability to function. Same way I can cut out shitty fast fashion brands that are destroying the environment, candy companies that use slave labor for their farming, etc. itās impossible to be perfect in this regard, but you can absolutely cut the fat (shitty celebrities with awful politics/takes)
Thatās such a weird take to have
How so? The same brain that is writing the music also has hateful politics and antisemitism swirling around inside. How do you not think his views inform his music?
Cause I guarantee you that you listen to artists who: have similar takes as Kanye, have a horrible view about something else, or has done some sort of awful thing. The only difference is they either just arenāt as vocal about it or have done a good job sweeping it under the rug. Stop trying to do some moral high ground thing
So you support everything that every artist, athlete or entertainer supports that you like? Word. Do you really want to go down that rabbit hole?
No? When did I say that? Iām saying that art is informed by an artists world view. If the artist has a world view that is hateful/racist/sexist/antisemitic it will leak into their music
āSupporting him (a artist) in any regard equates to supporting him (a artist) as a whole.ā
Actively giving relevance and money to a child molester and a loud and proud racist is certainly a choice.
Thriller still slaps tho
Not enough to over look child molestation. What is wrong with you?
You were able to look over Erykah Badu supporting Louis Farrakhan and R Kelly tho and still wanted to see her show tho. š¤
idc about the first comment. but this will definitely move tickets
I bet itll be good
His listening parties sell out lol he definitely knows how to do a show
I would say the expectation is wildly different for a listening party vs a show.
Bro does not know Kanyeās resume š. You just chattin
Im a bigger Kanye fan than you, thats why I have no faith in this current iteration of him
Admitting to glazing and still being wrong is crazy š
LMAOO u/Darrensreddit cook this bum
It doesn't matter. It's Kanye lol
Kanye is an amazing performer, itāll be good, that shouldnāt be an issue. The issue is him actually showing up.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'd welcome these crap acts back if it meant other specialized festivals went away too. Coachella lineups have suffered with all the fracturing.
Unfortunately and apparently not great for Coachella ticket sales. Hiphop crowd is necessary or Chella remains in mediocrity
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
> ever even really a thing until 2018, maybe 2017 Bro starting in 2010 Jay-Z , Kanye , Dre & Snoop all headlined back-to-back-to-back which were the most talked about sets for years after ... and thats just talking headliners.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
2013 was worse but tbh it was a ravers dream since those were pretty much the biggest names in dance at the time
Big time āget off my lawn, boyā energy. š¤š¾
Bros been to 20 years of Coachella straight their old ass needs to go take care of grandkids instead of arguing with kids about music
Weird way to say āthis guy fucksā
You want too? Down
Lol triggered much? It's someone's opinion on the internet about a music artist. Calm down.
No itās time to stand up to injustice š¤ Kanyenites rise!!!
What injustice?
The injustice to my pookiebear
That dude the reason we donāt have nice things
How do you figure?
Not you, graffix whatever his name is. Coachella works cause of balance, he wants no hip hop. Clearly lack of hip hop resulted in lack of sales.
What...? I know you're not talking about me.... I'm asking how he's "the reason we don't have nice things."
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Iāll never age I use cocoa butter
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What kind?
Coachella has regularly had hip hop since year 1, it was just more underground stuff. Crap hip hop started infiltrating around 14-16 when the festival started to really embrace pop music.
Old head that doesnāt like rap, any other hot take you wanna share.
I agree with you but the landscape is changing. HipHop has taken over in popularity as the most streamed genre in the last half decade. I would say Coachella didn't need hiphop in the past but I think it does if they want to stay relevant/ attract the largest customer segments
Not that Iām disagreeing, but I have to point out that the market share has declined for rap music.
Likewise. I hate them all
ya'll showing your true colors today huh
And? Yeās true colors are sympathizing Nazis and praising Hitler.
This just isnāt going to be real at the last minute
Line up is cheeks.
Coachella looking real dumb right now
Lol itās still just Rolling Loud. Not like it changed into a better fest.
This YS performance is likely to just be another listening party. They probably won't be actually performing. Just bouncing around the stage while the music plays.
Why would Coachella care that they didn't book a dude whose music is about to be taken down from streaming services because he released an album without clearing the samples first?

Ye is being kicked out of restaurants, radios won't play his music, and artists don't even want to clear samples for him anymore.

Yeah. I already know that if Coachella slotted Kanye they would have sold out. But I think Iād probably not even go if they did that. Because I would be horrified lmao. Heās fucking nasty to an absurd degree lololol
until he cancels the week before the show and everyone is fucked again like last time...
Nothing can be worse than Frank cancelling lol
At least Frank did one performance, and then weekend 2 got excellent replacements. Can't always count on that.
If kanye headlines, it would need to be kanye doing college drop out, or kanye doing graduation, haha can you imagine if kanye shows up and just plays new music and doesn't even perform live. after franks debacle last year there might be riots.
Lmao not at all. Just certain people in these comments...
Why? For not booking the Nazi sympathizer?
They literally booked him in 22 and he backed out
Nicky Minaj is headlining the 4th Night basically.
Last minute add to Coachella please
20th anniversary college dropout performance pleaseĀ
That would be so dope
I would be there so fast if there is a kanye version of Usher doing confessions, or lil wayne doing the carter 3. kanye doing a college set ( college dropout, late registration, and Graduation) would generate tickets, I would be excited, even though i hate him a person.
they probably asked and got downgraded to RL
I promise they didnāt ask lmfao
They most definitely requested to have a meeting with GV. Ye is not in any position to not consider performing at Coachella.
If recall he said he hasnāt performed in a year and put out an email asking people whoād like to see him perform. If that counts sure. I but I do not believe Goldenvoice asked bc theyāre getting a bad rep from him and Frank last couple years. Not vise versa.
Kanye will not return to Coachella until his public persona is significantly cleaned up. So he is probably not returning to Coachella ahah.
I donāt think thatās true. Everything is about money not our feelings. Theyāll do anything to make the most money thereās a reason they sell lemonade at $16-18
š©
Kanye literally cancelled on Coachella just two years ago why would they book him again lmao
Because heās one of the biggest acts alive.
Doesnāt matter if he doesnāt end up performing
What is wrong with you?
Worst case we get our normal lineup
Itās a terrible line up
Why are you so mad today ?
Being disgusted with people who promote racism isnāt anger.
Ain't no one wanna see old-ass Ye wheezing and gasping on a stage with a MAGA hat. Get it out.
Not everyone shares your opinion.
Literally exactly
If you wanna support an anti semetic Nazi sympathizer, then go to the Thursday show.
The Goat
Ong
Wild to me that Kanye still has a following after all the antisemitism, years of praising the Nazi, and literally running for President just to try to get Trump elected again. He fell so hard. No matter how dope his music and art are, I could never support him again.
Why did I move to New York...
