Hey, I've been told from friends and people on Facebook that this might be happening. If it was just one person I'd rubbish the idea however I've been told from at least 8 different people now. Has anything heard anything?

I'm 99%+ sure it's completely wrong.

As I understand it, their contract with Reading/Leeds doesn't allow them to play any other UK dates.

They could of course break that clause in their contract, but it would be very likely to come back on them in what they got paid by Reading/Leeds. And seeing that, by all accounts, they are only playing together again because the money is appealing to Carl then it seems exceedingly unlikely that he'd throw that money away by playing elsewhere.

Very many people believed they'd play at Glastonbury despite their contract with Reading/Leeds, but it didn't happen. There's no reason to think anything has changed, and it's far more likely that the rumour is someone having a laugh or that it's desperate and false marketing by the event than there's any truth behind it.
