Prince, Kanye West to somehow share stage at Swedish festival Way Out West

​We just received word that Prince will be joining the lineup for this summer's Way Out West festival in Gothenburg, Sweden, which already includes -- wait for it -- Kanye West, Pulp, Robyn, Fleet Foxes, Janelle Monae, Wiz Khalifa, the Jayhawks, Explosions In The Sky, James Blake, oh my god, where do we buy tickets, do I really need this computer or could I sell it for Swedish airfare?

The festival is being held in a park called Slottskogen, which is reportedly "made up of large areas of grassland, small hills, a forest and enclosed pastures with Nordic animals such as elk." Sigh.

Now, the all-important question: In a battle of pop superstardom, who will headline: Prince or Kanye? And isn't the chance to see one of them open for the other -- or one of them forced to open for anyone, really -- worth at least a couple thousand Swedish kronor?

For your ogling pleasure:

If VVM and CP would commit themselves to covering real new and stories (like this one) instead of making up column inches for whatever pol or public figure they currently have a hard on for it would make for a much better pub......

Dear lord.  City Pages, you owe it to us to send a correspondent to cover this festival!  None of us can go!  Think what it will do for your ad revenue if you can talk your editors into footing the bill for a plane ticket to Gothenburgh!  I just checked it out - it's only $800 round trip, or thereabouts!  COVER THE SHOW, CITYPAGES!  ARrRRRRrrgh I wish I had 800 bucks.
