Two weeks away from Kanye West‘s Glow in the Dark tour and he is like a kid on Christmas Eve. He updated his blog, in all its CAPSLOCK GLORY, with details about just what will be going down onstage. And guys? It’s a big f—ing deal. Let me break it down for you:
An entirely new designed set
Robot designed by artist Christian Colon
Creatures from Jim Henson’s creature shop
Holograms shot by Hype Williams
Every track has been re-orchestrated to follow a narrative
You’ve got to admit that even if Mr. West ain’t your cuppa tea, it sounds like a sick concert experience.
Thursday night Kanye performed at an art opening in Brooklyn for Japanese artist Takashi Murami. If the above elements didn’t convince you his show would be one worth seeing, RollingStone.com’s review of this intimate, splendidly energetic set will.
ps. Heroes fans — please follow that link and tell me that picture isn’t Hiro Nakamura in 20 years.
