No one special, it's gotta have been slim picking this year for bands.

Probably some shit unsigned band thats guitarists mum knew the drummer from status quo and is the only reason they got the gig.

He'll be busy with Arctic Monkeys the week before at Vfest.

[Davis_89]

Funeral Party.

Gobsmacked they aren't on the bill.

[Joseph92]

Wow, Alex Turner would be an awesome shout! Submarine + Arctics + Last Shadow Puppets songs in acoustic form

... Darwin Deez anyone?

[harderfaster]

would anybody be kind enough to compile a list of the previous 'special guests' to give an idea of the size of the guest?

I'm so intelligent that I thought Special Guests were a band, I thought "now there's a clever name". Somebody mentioned Kele, he was just brilliant last year, one of the highlights for me, I've never been able to see Bloc Party so that was really special. Also I saw a FFAF mention, I saw them the week that Tales Don't Tell Themselves came out and they were awesome because they only played 2 songs from that album and stuck mostly to the classics, History still stands as one of the best songs I've ever seen live. I'd be pretty pleased if they played but I'd have to check out their new albums which I'm dubious about, big fan of Causally Dressed and Hours but not so much Tales Don't Tell Themselves. I wouldn't really like Mumford and Sons, their gig was a bit of a nightmare for me last year, I'm not their biggest fan to say the least, but they would be very popular.

I reckon it's gonna be James Blake.

I always had him down as being a dead cert for R+L this year and it'd be pretty much exactly where he'd fit onto the line up.

There's no such thing as a special guests, it just means the band in that postion hasn't been booked/announced yet. It's 4th on NME so bands similar in size to that postion like this year Panic! At The Disco & Vaccines.

[mb23]

From previous years bands that have played 4th on NME were Serji, Gaslight Anthem, Maccabees, Florence & The Machine, Panic! At The Disco, Jamie T, Enter Shikari etc. they won't be unknown but they won't be massive either.

[readfestlover]

yeah but in 2009 them crooked vultures were announced as special guest. now if they aren't massive i don't now what is! and they played 6th on NME.
