Bristol o2 Academy is extremely tempting. I saw them back in 2010 supporting Gorillaz and they were fantastic. I'd happily see them again, although not Gorillaz after their atrocious Lollapalooza (Paris) set.

Brilliant news.  I've really missed Let Loose.

Comments seem to suggest it's Genesis, but who really knows with Twitter

A Pink Floyd reunion was teased quite a few times last year. Could be them.

unlikely. Nick and Roger have their own shows lined up.

Come on people, it's not going to be Floyd, Zeppelin, REM or anyone like that... it's Radio Fucking 2 for Christ's sake!

Over 15 million weekly listeners though, so would be a good way to get the word around...

So would, you know, the internet...

Chances are it's someone for their annual Hyde Park event.

But being on Radio 2, it's likely to be an older band, and therefore have an older fanbase. Older people are more likely to just get music news from the Radio; they don't tend to wake up and think "oh, I'll go online and see what's happening in the music industry, I wonder what the folks on efests are talking about"

If Led Zeppelin are reforming they won’t need to announce it on Zoe Ball’s show.

[Avalon_Fields]

Many are speculating Genesis.

Someone's taking the piss surely, Chalk is a pretty tiny venue! On O2 priority as well, I reckon I might be in for this!!

If it’s to announce that they’re doing their gig in Hyde Park though?

from the full wording of what ZB said this morning, it doesn't sound like it is. Sounds like it's what it says on the tin, a big band reforming.

[CaledonianGonzo]

That's why ELO reformed though - all their other gigs followed on from headlining Radio 2's Hyde Park shindig

Chalk isnt that tiny, one of the walls can be moved back to significantly expand it. At full capacity its noticeably bigger than Concorde 2.

My money is on "Band X are reforming.... and they're playing Hyde Park!"

Ah really? I've not been there since they reopened. Was that option there when it was Haunt?

Either way still a great booking for them!

Well I personally would love Liberty X to reform.

the rumour is Genesis, not Phil Collins' first jazzy solo project.

Oh, hang on...

That wasn't an option at The Haunt, no. Even without the extended room option, it's bigger than The Haunt ever was.

I actually think I prefer it to Concorde 2 now, they're starting to book bigger/more impressive acts on the regular too.

Guess this rules them out of the G
