Late Kanye jeered at US festival - BBC News


Rapper Kanye Occident was booed after appearing over an hr and a one-half late at the Bonnaroo festival in Tennessee.


Angry fans, who had to wait well into the early hours to see him, responded by chanting "Kanye sucks" and pelting the empty phase with freshness sticks.


The hold was blamed on jobs setting up a glow-in-the-dark backdrop for West's set


The four-day festival saw public presentations from over 150 acts, including The Raconteurs and comic Chris Rock.


West had been owed to execute at 0245 on Lord'S Day morning time (0745 GMT) but eventually took to the phase at 0425 (0925 GMT).


Many campers gave up waiting and returned to their sleeping bags.

Metallica also performed at the festival in Manchester, Tennessee


Festival spokesman Cognizance Weins said the hold was caused by having to take apart Pearl Jam's set - after the set finished an hr late - and burden up Kanye West's equipment, which depicted him as a space traveler whose ship crash-lands.


West had originally been scheduled to look at 2015 on Saturday evening, but he had specifically requested the late nighttime slot.


Later on Sunday, bicycle steel guitar player Henry Martin Robert Randolph criticised Occident on phase for dissatisfactory his fans, inspiring more than "Kanye sucks" chants.
