Kanye For NZ and Oz


Kanye West will play support on dates with U2 in New Zealand and Australia.

The news is pretty timely as the Grammy winning producer and rapper from Chicago opens for U2 on their final four shows in the US starting tonight in St Louis.

In March Kanye will rejoin the band for dates in New Zealand and Australia.

Kanye was nominated for another eight Grammy Awards last week including Album of the Year for Late Registration - up against an album called How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb!

You lucky bastards, Kanye West should've been the support for the whole tour. Damian Marley was good, but damn, a Kanye West + U2 show would've been blockbuster show.

Not sure what I will have to say about Kanye yet....I will see him in Portland. I will have to report back later.

I really wished he had opened in Atlanta.

Noooooo......

Why can't we have some decent local Aussie rock and roll band, rather than some average rapper whose just regurgitating what's all been done before......

I'll fall asleep, fair dinkum, i'll fall asleep while he's on...
