There is a rumor that Brian May is playing with the band today. If that's true, I wish I could have seen their reaction when they found out that came together.

I think that would be awesome, and definitely a surprise, but I hope that it isn't true just for the fact that it's already been spoiled. I want whatever the surprise guest is to be just that, a surprise.

I'm firmly on the side of that rumor being fact as it came directly from a sound tech. I'm happy to eat my hat if it doesn't end up happening though.

I'm pretty sure Ray peed his pants.

And now it's being reported as We Are The Champions.

Whatever it is, it's going to be sooooooo cool.

Re: biggest shows of their career - really? I would definitely say that playing Times Square and Wembley are way bigger than Reading.

The crowd at this festival is much larger than either Times Square or Wembley. When they played in Times Square on New Years, they weren't actually playing in front of a crowd, it was on top of a building, and it was not really audible for the crowd to hear.

When they played Wembley when opening for Muse, the stadium was not yet full and they were only opening.

Specifically, this is the biggest HEADLINING show they have ever played. I don't know the specific numbers but this is definitely one of the biggest crowds they have played to as well. They've played lots of a festivals to giant crowds, but the stakes are so much higher for this show. It literally could make or break this band.

I'm excited to camp out out in front of my tv, with a cup of tea, and scream when they come on. Best kind of camping, I think.

Very excited about this. I'm going to be on my way home when the show starts and won't be around for the first 45 min basically (I'll be here for all of tomorrow's show though). I have no predictions nor do I really want to predict anything. I'm just excited for whatever they do and am pumped to see them with that giant crowd.

I'm so proud of them.
