UB40 could pull the biggest crowd ever at the pyramid

[Bradders]

No they couldn't.

If you were allowed to take guns in.

Be lucky if they get 1 in 10, I'll get my coat.

No need to grab that coat, whisty.

Some of us are sadly old enough to have found that rather lolagable (as my 17/15/13 year olds might say).

Who are UB40 now? Weren't both parties who split from each other using the UB40 name to promote themselves? I thought there was going to be a show down in court. Did it happen / if so, who won?

Bit harsh that, bottles maybe.

I would want that setlist (well if you swapped creep and street spirit for say karma police, just or paranoid android which they often do).

I see what you mean but I'm a huge fan of both bands and In terms of recent output there's no comparison - radiohead's 2nd most recent album is many fans favourite whilst not many pearl jam fans would say that of any of there last few albums.

Radiohead would be wise to play a fair mix of the bends, ok computer and kid a with newer stuff but i don't think it needs to be the type of 'gratest hits' i think you are invisaging...

Maybe a radiohead 2015 thread needs setting up of not already. I'm too tired too pissed to see if it's already there.

Good band, hope they play but doubt it. Just spare us all the annual radiohead fanbollocks please

According to the local paper The Grateful Dead were one of the bands Michael was referring to.

Ali & Co are currently selling themselves as "UB40's Ali, etc" (other names for the etc), which is clearly a wording that is designed to avoid legals (tho whether it actually will I'm not sure). I know that the wording that is being used is being explicitly stated to anyone who has booked them by the agent.

A court case against Ali was launched in Sept by the real band, but i can't find anything more. It's possibly the case that they've already settled with an agreement made that Ali is allowed to use the wording that he's using.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Though only Ali's band has Astro in it, so there's will be the definitive take on Rat In Mi Kitchen.

According to the local paper The Grateful Dead were one of the bands Michael was referring to.

As was written in the Book of the Dead (printed in London, May ’72): “Last summer there was a surprise flight to Paris to play a festival that was rained off. It was hoped then that they might play at Glastonbury. ‘We didn’t go because somebody told us it was a sea of mud, and we weren’t about to take our equipment through that, having just been rained out in Paris,’ says Phil Lesh. They were disappointed; they’d like to play at Glastonbury, it is one of Lesh’s special projects, but as Garcia says: ‘It just didn’t seem right at the time.’”
