    8 Reasons Why Kanye West Is A GREAT Choice To Headline Glastonbury 2015

    Still unsure whether Yeezy gracing the Pyramid stage is a good idea? Here's a run down of exactly why he's the perfect choice.

    1. Kanye West Live

      1. 1. Experience

      Yeezy has performed at some of the biggest and well known festivals in the world such as Coachella in 2011 and Bonnaroo in 2014.

    2. Jay-Z Glastonbury performing

      2. 2. Advice

      Both Jay Z and Beyonce, two of Kanye's closest friends have both headlined the legendary festival. Surely that counts for something right?

    3. Glastonbury Pyramid stage at night

      3. 3. Glastonbury chose him

      It may sound incredibly straight forward however the festival organisers have put their trust in Mr West to deliver a set worthy of the iconic Pyramid stage and they usually get it right.

    4. Kanye West at The NBA All-Star Game

      4. 4. Musical diversity

      In the last five years Glastonbury's headliners have ranged from soul icon Stevie Wonder to heavy metal godfathers Metallica.

    5. Sir Paul McCartney, Kanye West and Rihanna

      5. 5. Collaborators

      Kanye can call on a HUGE host of artists from all different music backgrounds to join him on stage. Here's a list of just some of the people he's collaborated with: Paul McCartney, John Mayer, Rihanna, Justin Vernon from Bon Iver, Pharrell Williams, Thirty Seconds To Mars, Drake AND Katy Perry.

    6. Kanye West KOKO Queue

      6. 6. Demand

      Glastonbury tickets may have already sold out before the acts were even announced however the demand to see Kanye live is incredible. His surprise 1 a.m gig in London sold out within seconds of going on sale.

    7. recording studio

      7. 7. 'So Help Me God'

      If we are to believe Kanye's seventh solo album is still to be released in May, the LP will still be fresh in everyone's head and ready for it's debut on one of the biggest live stages in the world.

    8. performs at Mawazine Festival in Rabat, Morocco, S

      8. 8. Showmanship

      Does anybody actually think Kanye won't give it his all? This is a guy with one of the biggest egos in the industry, we get the feeling he won't want that reputation dented.

    9. Glastonbury 2010

      9. If you REALLY still aren't on board with Yeezy...

      Then let's not get too sad, there are going to be a LOT other acts you can check out at the festival including...

    10. Foo Fighters perform at the Grammy Awards 2012

      10. Foo Fighters!

      The rockers will be headlining the Friday night as well as...

    11. summertime ball

      11. Lionel Ritchie

      He'll be taking up the teatime Sunday slot. We're pretty sure there'll be some BIG names filling up the rest of the bill very soon.
