I live 100 miles away so can drive at very short notice Though it would mean getting home at 5am or something crazy. I've got a strong feeling there's something in this. Whenever Knebworth hosts concerts, it's invariably in August as it was for the Stones in '76. IMHO, it's not the nicest venue - just a big sloping field with the stage at the bottom of the slope i

Bjornulf, there will be plenty of other uphill races in August for you I'm sure. Especially in Norway! Do they have any other kind of race there ( apart from downhill ones! >< ) Please, please ,please wave your magic wand and make this happen ... they do read this board so they must know the demand would be there. not just from Brits but from nearby Europeans willing to travel.

Those shirts were first sold on the Voodoo Lounge tour 20 years ago. I remember seeing a lot of people wearing them at the 2 shows I saw on that tour (Sheffield and Wembley 3). As others have said, not a chance of a re-issue unless one particular line of that is removed or amended. Standards have long since moved on....

This sounds fantastic guys Very good luck to you all. I don't think there will be any setlist complaints here!

Really crossing my fingers on this. I love the whole camping out early for a spot up front in GA scene. I find that the meeting other fans and atmosphere is fab That was my experience of both HP shows, marred by the odd fight in the crowd. If this does happen, I hope the crowd control and security is much better than at Hyde Park (which was piss poor imho).

QuoteRedhotcarpet I really wish they wouldnt do Knebworth. It has a very cool and special (hot) place in the heart of many fans. Knebworth is all about the 1976 version of the band. It didn't stop them from doing Hyde Park! On 44th anniversary too, not a notable anniversary either!

I'm in and ready, willing and able to camp out overnight for a spot upfront. I did exactly that for Hyde Park 1 2 years ago. Hope this happens. it sounds feasible.
