The Specials

[luckysalt]

I reckon they could be playing. NME have been bumming them, got the lifetime achievement award, played V last year, are playing festivals again, including Frequency festival the week before Reading and Leeds

I think they're gunna headline the NME tent one of the nights

Theres no inside information just a guess, same night as MCR headline main stage

[gr4h4m]

would be good like!

[stylishkids]

No at the NME awards they said they weren't doing any UK festivals. And before anyone says they might not have been booked yet, there is no way FR will not have their nme headliners in place one month before the line up gets announced. Its just plain stupidity to leave a position like that so late.

Would love it. Always a chance.

They didn't say they weren't playing any. They said they were unsure what their plans were gigwise for the rest of the year.

[Vieuphoria]

I wasn't arguingthey would play. Merely saying they did not say what you said... which (thanks for the link by the way) i was right

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

LostProphets weren't booked when the first announcement was made last year presumably, so it could still happen.

Are you sure, I know they wernt in the first announcement but I think they were held back because it was gonna be there comeback gig with the new album.

I'm fairly sure they were announced the very next week.

[Vieuphoria]

i doubt they would hold backa band like Lostprophets from the initial lineup if they were already booked.

[saskofreak]

id love it if they did, just as long as they werent playing the same time as blink.

[saskofreak]

they wont. unless they want to headline the tent 2 years running which is very unlikely. they will probably sub headline to mcr.

[Vieuphoria]

The SPecials are playing a European festival the week before Reading.

[Keva]

If they played I will skank till my feet bled.

[Vieuphoria]

[MEGABOWL]

Brilliant at Glastonbury last year

[rexclark]

Doubt they will play but if they do I'd go see them.

[robsadler]
