Thousands of people are signing a petition to cancel the Kanye West's headline concert at Glastonbury. The petition was started by Neil Lonsdale kings, Lynn, United Kingdom. Neil started the popular petition website, petition.org with headline "Cancel Kanye West's headline slot and get a rock band".
More than 121,000 music lovers have signed the petition. The letter to the festival organizers state that :
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.
Kanye has been very outspoken on his views on music....he should listen to his own advice and pass his headline slot on to someone deserving!
Lets prevent this musical injustice now!
According to one of the signature of the petition, P F said
Kanye s***s. I want to see real artistry. Someone like Beck.
Another petitioner signed and said :
im signing because I think Kanye West head lining Glasto is outrageous. The man has no morals and has no talent
Another petitioner that signed said :
I work at Glastonbury festival and would be utterly ashamed to be associated with such a misogynistic, selfish, racist and arrogant being as Kanye West. Glastonbury Festival is about classic bands, not these sorts of hip-hop artists.
According to the petition, 30,000 more petitions are needed to make it stand.
The website of the events stated that tickets for the events are sold out and other line-ups confirmed for the event are :Lionel Richie and Foo fighters. Full line-ups for the event will not be announced until springs.
