[TheGaffer]

I don't see Chase & Status being back, they subbed last time and they'll probably be wanting a larger spot, but they are definitely not ready to headline.

[harryomatic]

I agree they're not big enough headline yet, so best they could get is headlining R1 stage.

[Shanks18]

2011 was my favourite year at T so far.

SHM set saturday night was one of my favourite sets ever.

[Comfy Bean]

James confirmed for Benicassim the weekend after and playing in Manchester the Friday of T. New song out today so think ( hope ) they will be announced tomorrow.
