MGMT

This will not happen. If they were playing ANY other festival id say it was possible, but not Reading and V.

Seriously if you doubt me, look at the lineups for the past 5 years or so. They have never shared ANY bands bigger than a BBC introducing or low carling sized band.

I was just shocked thats all.

Didn't think many towns had universities.

(Sorry, i've just had well bad experiences with Hud.)

Wont happen only doing 2 uk festivals this year V and Bestival.

[flossy_]

surely your mate remembers what show it was annoucned on, so then we can check this out and see if it was actually said?

i didnt think it was possible cos of the whole V/reading contracts, but im letting myself get a tiny bit excited about this, simply because they would fit perfectly between Vampire Weekend and Yeah Yeah Yeahs on the Radiohead day.

A thought though..radiohead are MASSIE fans of MGMT, maybe as part of Radiohead playing, they requested MGMT to be there? Im guessing if this happened, they must of had to fork out A LOT of money for them, seeing as they are only supposed to be playing v and bestival

i would love it to happen though

If they were the special guests then radio 1 wouldn't be allowed to announce it yet.......and yet they supposedly have? Not gunna happen sadly.

Radiohead like MGMT......

also how can anyone not know Huddersfield has a very well respected and large university ? unless they live in a cave ??

[rexclark]

No chance, I recon there must be a good chance they'll headline the NME stage next year if they stay as popular.

[Bradders]

Don't get too excited people. Ross is referring to a thread posted on the official Leeds board on the 31st on March. And that guy was definitely lying.

[rossg123]

MGMT were apparently confirmed on Radio One last night.

[Budweiser]

Sorry, I was just bein' optimistic. It may have been true, I didn't know.

[luckysalt]

Not that they're playing but the only day MGMT could be able to play is the Arctic Monkeys day as they're in France on the Sunday, so that throws out the Radiohead like MGMT and special guests slot
