I don't think it will be anyone big unfortunately cause if it was, they would be announcing it to sell tickets...or maybe the person can't be advertised for contractual reasons or something? I remember waiting about for ages outside the Soulwax tent on Sunday to see who the 'Special Guest' was and speaking to a security guard who thought it was Justice, but he said even they didnt know. Lots of excitement, then it turned out just to be Andy Mac :huh: Wasn't too bothered though as I did want to see the Strokes.

I actually heard from a guy ages ago that Adam Beyer was meant to be playing, this was a couple of weeks before the big announcement. I saw no reason why the guy would lie to me and I honestly believe that he believed what he heard from a really good source at the time.

I don't really see it happening tbh, but if it did it would be cool.

To be fair, this year is great for techno/ minimal fans.

I should really see what the line up feedback is on the slamboards... haha

I'm not really personally a fan of all that but i'll defo be seeing magda.

I also don't mind the likes of Raresh, Modeselektor, Matthew Dear, Jamie XX, Alex Under, Derrick Carter, Andrew Weatherall, DJ Shadow and obviously The Chems are a big deal for everyone.

Why, when the event is far from sold out, would the organisers keep a 'big name' hidden as a special guest?!

Those who think the Special Guest will be anybody of the size/pull of Deadmau5 are deluded beyond belief

Miniscule chance, but would love it to be The Music, seeing as they have now split and 2011 will be their last shows, Reading 2008 was the only time i have been able to see them and they were amazing. Would love one last gig, as wasn't able to get tickets to their farewell gigs in Leeds!

I was being facetious.

He has totally dropped off the face of the earth though. I mean, to come out with an album as good as Destroy Rock & Roll and be as popular and sought-after as he was, to just disappearing seemed a little weird to me. :blink:

      Big Fender fan but don't feel particularly churlish in suggesting Rein Me In is mid-tier. Still, when Dean comes out for it, it will clearly go off.

      I think it's a conscious decision this year not to publicize it beforehand. Not sure why. Maybe they have even removed the concept of a passport altogether and have something else... I like it because it helps me find parts of the program that don't function as slots in the timetable.
