Kanye West to Bring 18 Coach Entourage to UK Music Festival

Kanye West is set to bring an 18-coach entourage with him to UK music festival Global Gathering this weekend.

The 'Stronger' hitmaker is also having his own stage built for the event, and is determined to outdo rap rival Jay-Z's headlining Glastonbury slot.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper, "A huge amount of planning has gone into Kanye's performance and fans won't be disappointed.

"To ensure the show goes to plan, no-one else will perform on the main stage on the Friday night.

"It is being built especially to his specifications. There will be 18 performers and £100,000 ($200,000) worth of lights put in place."

The event, which also runs on Saturday, will see DJs -- including Tiesto, Roger Sanchez, Fedde le Grande and Eric Prydz -- fly in from across the globe. It also boasts live sets from Mark Ronson; Róisín Murphy; and Sam Sparro.

Kanye, 31, and his entourage are set to get five star treatment from the moment they arrive at the two-day festival at Stratford-upon-Avon, in England.

The source added, "Global Gathering organizers are laying on a feast for Kanye and his crew.

"A top quality chef will be brought in especially to rustle up a three-course sit-down meal."
