Horrible venue, but good for them if they're headlining there.

You can preorder a "luxury hamper" by all accounts. #morfest

It was my understanding that concerts/festivals were being relocated away from there because of all the complaints about sound issues.

"Ok, we'll let you play in the evening but you've got to be really quiet to the point that even those who've paid to turn up can't hear you."

But them doing something like this does at least point to the album being out by then. When they said 'September/October', my money was on November, natch.

Radio 2 and Hyde Park are made for a heavily acoustic set.

Found more out about who else is playing;

"Zoe Ball, who is covering breakfast this week for Chris Evans, has so far announced Simple Minds, Jack Johnso, Texas and Jamie Cullum."

*Pukes at mediocrity*

Also, not entirely convinced that they will be headlining...

Just heard about this. Will see if I can make it.

Besides, have they not signed an exclusivity deal with Festival No6 and is this not technically a festival? Short acoustic set would make sense.

Will be going Don't care about any other bands playing!
It's been too long since the o2 gig, so I'm going no matter what

If the bands are playing in order listed on Radio 2 site then Texas are headlining!

Got excited about this and then realised we have a wedding invite for that weekend......
Why do the Manics do these things to me.

I know the rest of the line up is a bit meh but seeing the boys twice in two weeks would have been brilliant. Guess I save the money.
