Thoughts?

I bet it's the American Idiot musical coming to the West End.

Stadium show I would imagine. cant see that meaning any kind of festival appearance.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Don't wanna fall into the old 'staggering' trap but special events suggest something other than a stadium show, in my opinion.

Can't see a staduim show myself, Wembley didn't sell out and I can't think of a band that has done staduim shows in the UK 2 years in a row.

Maybe the American Idiot cast preform as a sub to MCR? Unlikely but would still be better than 30STM.

I doubt it'll be a stadium tour, they played Wembley last year

It could well be the musical, but they said some special UK events that will be announced in the near future! So that means it will be more than one. Therefore, you never know, Reading may still be on cards, seeing as only events other than stadium tours are festivals, and all the major festivals have confirmed their headliners.

I don't think this immediately confirms them or anything, but you never know anything is possible

dont want to get my hopes up and then be disappointed..

[theloveofmusic1]

perhaps Melvin first got MCR thinking their album would make them headline material whereas they flopped so then he just got a bit scared and just decided to bunk MCR to sub and Green day to headline! fingers crossed

Very doubtfull, they would of paid MCR a headliners fee and to get Green Day would cost alot more and it would majorly effect the budget for the fest.

Wouldn't say the new album flopped, it just didn't sell as well as the Black Parade. In Untero didn't get to Platinum but that doesn't take anything away from Nirvana.

i think the fact that these UK dates will be announced in the near future kind of strengthens the claim for them to be at reading. Dates in plural could mean Reading AND Leeds, while 21st March is certainly near future

[Yellow_Fellow]

tbh I think Event strengthens it.. wishful thinking

[mb23]

They didn't say dates (or shows, gigs etc.) they said events.

Whether you believe it or not, it is up to you, but the guy from strictly reading posted on twitter about an hour ago

"We heard it was Muse, The Strokes (Pulp supporting) and Green Day (MCR supporting)"

[Hart Attack]

I so hope this happens...

[beards]

I'm gonna be sad when this doesn't happen

[Just Jake]

I REALLY hope this happens.

Probably the best live band i've seen to date.

They did also say 'but f*** knows anymore' at the end, but I'd be willing to agree with them on what they heard!
