Kanye's late show angers fans

The rapper was two hours behind schedule

Kanye West's show was two hours behind schedule

Call it Kanye West's late late late show.

The rapper didn't appear on stage at Tennessee's Bonnaroo until 4.25 a.m. Sunday morning – some two hours behind schedule, the Associated Press reports.

Why? Previous act Pearl Jam ran over by an hour, festival organizers said – and then there were long delays setting up West's elaborately futuristic stage set.

As the delay dragged on, fans at the four-day-long music festival reportedly began chanting "Kanye sucks" and pelting the empty stage with glow sticks.

A rep for the 31-year-old rapper – who, last week, had to pause his show after someone threw an object on stage – couldn’t be reached for comment.
