Madness

[Messi30]

They wouldn't headline for sure but having them on the bill isn't such a crazy idea. One step beyond would be awesome. Actually they should be booked just to do that one song!.

Back at Reading '99 I was tripping on acid and had lost my friends, things were getting sketchy until I went to the radio one tent just as Symposium were announcing a special guest - turned out to be Suggs! In the state I was in I couldnt help but laugh like a lunatic. Sorted my head from real bad paranoia to comedy instantly and of course there is nothing funny about it looking back. Anyway there's my Suggs anecdote. Bet you're glad you read that

This is one of the single most funniest things ever. hahaha. Madness headlining.

I had a dream last year that GnR dropped out and were replaced by Madness. It is amazing for me to now see my dream coming true!

Maybe I'm still dreaming...

Madness can be ruled out now, they are headlining Butlins.

[lharris92]

this guy obviously took a post on the official reading forums a bit seriously... there was a thread joking about it this is probably where its come from

Madness would go down really well. However they probably arent considered cool and modern enough by the organisers.

Perhaps he was told "If MCR are headlining it's madness" and misheard?

[Mega Ross]

This is the second story I've heard.

"Oh yeah I know 2 of the guys sons and they say madness are headlining" was the other.

I'd bloody love to see it, last Madness gig I went to was mental, but theres very little chance of it happening.

Too many philistines go to Reading/Leeds, they can't enjoy some good old two tone and have a laugh.

I laughed so hard I had Kenco coming out of my nose

Just gone onto Virtual Festivals and they have put up Madness as a strong rumour, they really will post any crap up over there.

[Mega Ross]

If they were to headline I think they would be the least watched headliner for many many years

[Clemo]

I'd love to play, maybe headline the NME so all the pretentious indie kids can keep well away, I hope virtual festivals are on to something.
