Kanye West’s Glow in the Dark tour hits Atlanta this Sunday!!

by Stacy Sheets

kanye1.jpgkanye.jpgThe Arena at Gwinett Center is going to be bumpin this Sunday, May 4th, as it hosts Lupe Fiasco, N.E.R.D., Rhianna, and KANYE WEST for the Glow in the Dark Tour. Tickets are still available (can’t f__ing belive that) from $48-$130. Show starts at 7:30pm.

Compliments of 95.5 The Beat, I will be there, and I am SOOO excited. I am really into Kanye right now..and I can’t get that “If you are a superstar” song of Lupe Fiasco outta my head..

And I have owned one N.E.R.D. album which has been ageless since I first listened to it at a record store in Athens.

Apparently Kanye is a bit stuck on himself — that I am not too supportive of, but c’mon we all still listen to Michael Jackson and Lord knows he’s done worse than talk about how great he is.

After Atlanta, the tour hits Tampa, Miami, Charlotte, Raleigh, D.C., Virginia Beach..and more…

Off the Just Entertainment blog, reviews the show as, ““Kanye West lives up to his promise to be the greatest star in the hip-hop universe with his “Glow In The Dark Tour,” which kicked off Wednesday night at the Key. He not only took the concert experience to a new level, he took it to a new planet.”

Bring the Noise blog, shares their experience with these words, “This is the biggest, slickest rap show to hit the road since Eminem, one chock full of fun, crowd pleasing spectacle and moments of bizarre kitsch. The house remained dark as the headlining set began with snippets of hit “Stronger” and West talking to a computerized female voice about his months of scouring the universe for “a new source of inspiration.” (Yeah, it only got sillier after that.) LED flashes and rumbling sound effects simulated a meteor shower and crash that explained West being stranded on some far off planet. And when the lights came on, we saw our hero sprawled across a tilted platform placed in the middle of an astral landscape that roadies had assembled after Rihanna (with some visible difficulty.) West climbed to his feet and got the party properly started with “Good Morning,” the intro to his third hit album, “Graduation.”

Here’s a youtube video of Kanye’s - Flashing Lights…it just kinda makes you feel a little bad ass when you listen to it.

    Hey Stacy! I didn’t realize Kanye was coming until I read this blog last week and I tried to get someone to go with me but everyone was busy. How was it!? I’m sure it was such a cool concert.
