West spills on BDO issues
Speaking with the New Zealand Herald, the promoter gave a twenty minute interview covering the ambitions and challenges of making the festival continue into the future.
“Because everyone has such high expectations of the twentieth show that unless we have Jesus and the Devil on different stages it’s a disappointment because of the expectations of the public about what we can and can’t do.” he said.
Ken also mentioned that the vitriol they received for having Kanye West close the festival was one of the reasons for the departure of co-founder Viv Lees "It went on sale Friday, he turned 58 on Saturday and by Monday he wanted to call the whole thing off. He couldn’t deal with it.
The show is a victim of Facebook abuse. He took it all in and everyone said “don’t look at that stuff” but what did happen was that the Kanye supporters were quiet. They weren’t really vocal; “great Kanye’s on” until he was off. I’ve managed to piss off everybody, without being able to do it any other way.”
