In one swift move, Glastonbury managed to elate and disappoint countless fans.
Kanye West is set to headline this year's event, and the often divisive figure has split onlookers. Speaking to The Times, Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis has revealed that she even received death threats after news of the booking broke.
"It was not a pleasant world we unwrapped," she said. "I had death threats and stuff. It was just horrible. It was just crazy. It was getting out of control. We had Time magazine, all the American news channels saying they were going to come down. This incredible onslaught worldwide."
"It was quite upsetting because we were talking about something that was so exciting and interesting and fresh and brilliant for the festival. Kanye West is making the most exciting music at the moment. He is an amazing force as a performer. For us, getting the biggest star in the world was an amazing coup."
