Homer Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 The Specials are really good and still relevant - would go against everything the Other stage opener slot stands for. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Music Girl Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Specials would be great. Are Placebo a possibility too given the rumour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dccool Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Would love it to be the specials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigpusher Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 I too would love The Specials but does there announcement for Glastonbury Extravaganza make them less likely. I don't recall the acts who play that ever usually playing the festival in that year anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 The Specials' first gig back after 25 years or whatever was a secret slot TBF (at Bestival 2008 - it was absolutely pissing it down unfortunately). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I've enjoyed James, Blondie and The Charlatans in that slot before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalopsia Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) I have a feeling Iggy Pop could be in with a shout here...got the hits for it, not sure if it'd be too early for him though. Edited May 11, 2019 by Kalopsia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jow95 Posted May 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Are the specials too big for it? James fit that slot perfectly in 2016 I felt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jow95 Posted May 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Isn't there previous with acts who played Eavis' other events like Pilton Party or the Abbey definitely playing at the festival, although if someone does the research this might be usually for the year after. so Specials 2020?
