Rapper Kayne West has managed to do the unthinkable while at Bonnaroo. In a setting where the most a person usually gets pissed at is the crappy weather, West infuriated concert-goers by going on almost 1.5 hours after his scheduled appearance. Midway through the delay, fans began throwing glowsticks at the stage and yelling, “Kayne sucks.”
According to Bonnaroo spokesperson Ken Weinstein, the delay occurred because it took longer than expected to switch from Pearl Jam’s set to Kayne’s. Alternative rockers Pearl Jam played an hour past their scheduled time. Originally scheduled to perform as one of the main acts at 8:15 p.m., Kayne asked for a late-night spot at the last minute.
Apparently Kayne refused to acknowledge his delay until midway through his set which included an interplanetary landscape and a talking female computer named Jane. The crowd was so pissed off that they continued to chant “Kayne sucks” throughout the day. Guitarist and jam band singer Robert Randolph even led one of the chants.
