Artist Spotlight - Glow in the Dark tour f/ Kanye West

Written by Jeff Hatline

Thursday, 22 May 2008

Over the last few years, Kanye West has developed into a take it or leave it type of artist. The man can rap and rhyme with the best of them, but his constant boasting and whining over the years has alienated a lot of his fan base. Yesterday, the May 25th show in Fargo, N.D. was canceled due to "scheduling conflicts" but rumor is it was the slow ticket sales that killed the show. Regardless though, enough of his fans have decided to take it as he brings it to the Palace of Auburn Hills tonight. Early reports say that the "Glow in the Dark" tour, which also features Lupe Fiasco, N.E.R.D. and Rihanna, has a spaceman theme with a futuristic feel to it. All in front of an IMAX-style screen that engulfs the audience. Sounds like fun. Make sure you make it in for the openers, which is one of most solid supporting bills this summer. When West hits the stage, expect a healthy dose of bravado and an even healthier dose ego. Here's a warning too if you're headed out to the show. If you don't like what Kanye is selling, don't let him know. He might call you out from the stage and give you a piece of his mind. Big surprise.
The Glow in the Dark tour f/ Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, N.E.R.D. and Rihanna plays the Palace of Auburn Hills (Tickets still available; $39.50 - $175.00) tonight and the United Center in Chicago May 23rd and 24th (both shows SOLD OUT)
