The Specials for Glasto

[Al123]

Bumped into John Bradbury (Specials drummer) in Coventry today, nice bloke, signed last nights ticket stub, I asked him point blank if they were doing Glasto this year and he said, quote, 'definately are! Won't be announced til the 26th.'

Happy days!!

I'd love to see them play live, are you sure they are playing?

[PabloCoke]

They've been saying for a while they wanted to play 09, and i've seen them listed as playing on a couple of other sites but this sounds like real confirmation. I'm made up!!!!

other stage headliner??? or near the top of the other or pyramid???

[MikeyB37]

erm... haven't we known this for ages...

I have excellently sourced info that The Specials are the act playing before Neil Young.

In a perfect world for me,they would be playing on the pyramid before Blur on the Sunday night.

A great finish to the festival!

[Neville Street]

Mr Efestivals has speculated they'll be directly below Neil Young. I think this is a ploy on Eavis' part to try and keep Young's audience numbers up

[harper11]

surely they will be on jazz world

or a very early pyramid slot

before blur would be stupidly high up

[sammysundae]

i wasn't being sarcastic. pretty cool person to bump into in my opinion. i don't think they could play before neil young. thats the pixies' slot.

Also meant to say 26th?! Should I already know that date? Is that when Q get published and thus when line up is announced? That's a week on Tuesday, day after bank holiday.

[Homer]

Has anyone seen the Dub Pistols supporting the Specials? Am going to see the DPs next week and have high hopes as the new album's decent.

[Gems_GV09]

[Zacko]
