Kanye West has announced that he’ll be playing a special secret show in London next Monday, 20th August.

It’s a part of Vodafone’s TBA gig series, and to win tickets you’ll need to enter one of two draws: today (Monday 13th) or tomorrow (Tuesday 14th). Winners will be selected at random (though hopefully not BBC random where the winners are decided months before)

If you don’t win tickets, coverage will be available on Vodafone Live! and also on Channel 4 in the near future.

That is of course if you even like Kanye West. I’m not his biggest fan, thus the rather parred down article he’s got!

from wilcoworld.net:We’re sorry to report that our good friend and Wilco guitarist extraordinaire Nels Cline has recently contracted a rather nasty case of the CHICKEN POX (not sure that should be in all caps… but judging from the gruesome details in email correspondence we’ve had with NC, we’ll leave it so). He is slowly on the mend but is not quite there yet, necessitating postponment of the Duluth, Minnesota show scheduled for this Tuesday night. That date will be rescheduled for Tuesday, September 4 and all tickets for the original date will be honored. Refunds will also be available to those of you unable to attend the Sept. 4 show.

The show scheduled for this Wednesday in Winnipeg, Manitoba will either be postponed or cancelled but will NOT take place as scheduled. Details on refunds coming shortly.

We apologize for the inconvenience… but we’re really glad Nels seems to be over the hump and hope to see you out there soon.
Regretfully,

the Wilco HQ staff
