Ok, we’re only speculating here, but if the reunited Specials are willing to travel all the way to Australia it can’t be out of the realm of possibilities that they would come to the States for our Summer festival season.

As reported on Undercover [via The Daily Swarm], The Specials are coming to continent down under for the first time in their 30-year existence.

Prepare yourself for Terry Hall (vocals/co-writer), Lynval Golding (rhythm guitar/vocals), Neville Staple (toasting, percussion, backing vocals), Sir Horace Gentlemen (bass guitar), Roddy Radiation (lead guitar) and John Bradbury (drums) live in concert in Australia.
