Despite doors opening before midnight, Kanye did not make his way to the stage until around 1 am.

Announced shortly after 7pm, the venue’s doors were supposed to open at 11pm, though in reality most were permitted after midnight. Tickets had been sold at £49.50 each and were limited to two per customer. West finally emerged on stage at around 1am, by which time the crowd was becoming restless. (NME)

During his set, Kanye performed a new song called “U Mad.”

“U Mad” is a horn-heavy trap banger that sounds like a King Louie production much in line with Chief Keef’s “Don’t Like.” It’s got hints of Drake’s “Trophies” and a smack upside the head by way of A$AP Rocky’s “PMW.” Watch it above (beware of the awful sound quality), check out the set list below, and look for this Kanye album to impact any day now.

Kanye announced his Yeezus follow-up album title this past weekend.
