The festival will be one of many stops for Ye as he launches an international tour for his 808s & Heartbreak album following last summer's "Glow in the Dark" tour.

"I get bored with stuff," West said. "The last one was done because I didn't feel like doing a rap show, because of all I was going through in my life. All I felt like was playing with 'Star Wars' (toys) and being Luke Skywalker. So I figured you know, 'I'll do a rap show if I can just be like Luke Skywalker every night.' And so I just wrote my own sci-fi and played in it." Expect new theatrical ideas when West takes to the road this summer. West will launch a European tour featuring his latest album, 808s & Heartbreak, in July and expects the tour to hit the United States by fall. (Associated Press)

Ye is also reportedly preparing the book release of Kanye West: Glow in the Dark, which will serve as a guide to his international travels.

Tentatively scheduled for an October 2009 release, it will chronicle Kanye's journeys around the world as he tours and hits up fashionparties. Photographer Nabil Elderkin also captured himshopping in Asian malls. The book will come with a USB drive of previously unreleased music and will cost $50. (New York Magazine)
