Specials would like to play Glastonbury
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 19 December 2008
Terry Hall of The Specials has said that he’d like his band to play Glastonbury as part of their reunion tour next year. Of course, he didn’t just come out with it, he was asked if he’d like to, and , speaking to 6Music, responded: “That would be nice. The last time I played at Glastonbury was 1983, 1984 so it would be nice to do it”.
Talking about the tour, he explained that the band are happy to revive their back catalogue because the sentiment of the tracks “still applies today”. He continued: “Climates have changed slightly but we’re still faced with this huge recession, unemployment and racism. It still exists and that’s what we dealt with first time round”.
