Glow In The Dark Tour Too Big For Its Own Good?

by THE CHOSEN FEW

FRIDAY APRIL 25, 2008

The Glow In The Dark Tour (starring Lupe Fiasco, N.E.R.D & KanYe West) which has a date scheduled at Red Rock Station Casinos located in Las Vegas was almost cancelled. Scheduled for Friday, 25th, the tour date was cancelled shortly after the Grammys due to unknown reasons. As soon as everyone was starting to get upset, the tour was already to go again, what happened?

“At the time we booked the show, it was prior to the Grammy Awards and the show became bigger in scope and magnitude. The roof system we use at Red Rock was not big enough to accommodate the changes they made. At that point we had to cancel the show," says Station Casinos’ VP of entertainment, Joe Santiago.

To get the tour back on track in time KanYe asked Red Rock to build an entirely new, temporary venue just for this show.

“(Glow In The Dark) became a 15 truck arena show so we created a temporary venue to accommodate this show and that’s what we did,” he continued. “A huge video wall system, big production and, from a visual standpoint, it’s going to be phenomenal.”

you all do realize that these fools are just trying to get a rise out of everyone by being the biggest wayne c-riders they can. They are all just fat internet nerds who eat twinkies while they sit on the computer all day and get off on pissing people off by talking about how many times them and their wayne stans circle jerk each other...we shouldnt even be giving them any attention, just ignore their bullshit

I went to the Kanye show in Sacramento, then 3 days later went to the Jay-z show in Oakland, Kanye's show was a LITTLE bit better overall cause of his guests, but Jay-z by himself kills all of them.

Kanye just stands on some platform by himself the whole time.

Its all about the Heart of the City Tour

I was privileged to see Kanye, N.E.R.D., and Lupe in Tucson a few weeks ago and let me tell you, buddy, I was sittin' happy like a fat man for wicked wraps and sick visuals. This was mos definitely a nice, to say the least, venue to be present at.
