“Kanye West was announced earlier this week as one of the headliners at this summer’s Glastonbury music festival, but some music fans aren’t happy about it.
One festival-goer started a petition calling on organizers to “prevent this musical injustice” by canceling the rapper’s performance.
“Kanye West is an insult to music fans all over the world,” Neil Lonsdale wrote in the Change.org petition. “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!”
Others apparently agreed with him. As of Thursday, the petition has gotten more than 60,000 signatures. By Friday afternoon, that number rose to nearly 90,000.”
