Special Guests

[Reading Local]

Am guessing someone along the lines of Funeral for a friend, Less Than Jake, Dropkick Murphys etc (altho prob fair to say they look certs for a lock-up headlining slot now, then again could say the same for LTJ)

[mooseman]

everyone's favourite band Mumford and Sons, perhaps...?

[Vacant0]

They wouldn't ever be that low at this moment in time, if the second album does well expect them to be 2nd/3rd on the mainstage next year. You may not like it but it is going to happen.

[mooseman]

If the second album does well then theres a decent chance of them actually headlining.

[John92]

The Pretty Recklless maybe??

Or Mona?

Dont know why they would be classed as special guests like, just thinking of bands that could play that slot.

[Jackmypie]

Rolling Stones.

The quotes in this thread are a little misleading

Whats actually said is would the speacial guests appeal to a Rock Sound fanbase [the website asking the questions who are typically a Download/Sonisphere going crowd] and Melvin replies if they are open minded then they might appeal

which leads me to think its gunna be a 'dance/urban/r&b/drum n base/hiphop' artist.

Won't be anyone from V

And those saying Kele, HE'S AT V!

The Subways I reckon..

[poromenos]

U2...

[readfestlover]

i think its The Wombats....... unfortunately!

[onemangang]

miles kane would be perfect, to me he would be a very special guest. also the fact he has just supported beady eye on their u.k tour, seeing him on stage a few acks underneath beady eye on the saturday i could see happening

[mrtourette]

It's fourth down in the tent for chrissakes, it isn't going to be anyone spectacular. Also if it was they wouldn't be listed as special guests, they simply wouldn't be listed at all.

[brfcstar]

What about The Darkness

[Andy0808 v3.0]

i kinda hope the subways, shocked they werent announced

[jonnyisRFC]

Magnetic Man i reckon.

Could well be the Darkness actually. I'd have to be very 'open-minded' to watch them. Another one i was thinking of was Brandon Flowers? Although it does say 'special guests on the lineup...

[Role Model]

Something like The Pretty Reckless, can't see it being a big band.

It said special guests with Serj Tankian too. It's normally someone who's "exclusive" to another festival and can't announce until it's over.

[jonnyisRFC]

FEEDER!?

[MJMilz14]

The Noisettes I reckon... possibly the Subways.

[PM2010]

Atoms For Peace? Would be very special, I guess they would have been more likely if it was just a gap in the programming like TCV was in 2009.

You'd have to gave an open mind for them, but again, that could mean alot of things..
