That Kanye West Pop-Up Concert Didn’t Go So Well…
June 6, 2016
Fans of Kanye West never got to see him perform Sunday at neither Governors Ball nor his proposed pop-up show at Webster Hall early Monday morning.
Rain wrecked Sunday’s Governors Ball slate so then Kanye West performed some songs at HOT97’s Summer Jam at Metlife Stadium then tweeted this out early Monday morning:
Show at 2am SOLD OUT

Webster Hall was the proposed venue for a pop-up show. Lots of Governors Ball and Summer Jame artists hastily scheduled pop-up shows after weather issues cancelled their performances, so West was trying to do the same.
But his twitter announcement quickly led to packed crowds and jammed traffic in the Manhattan blocks surrounding Webster Hall:

Due to the unforgiving crowds, fans nor West ever made it inside the venue. After West stood out the top of his vehicle to acknowledge some fans…

That was cray, but it’s Kanye West after all.
