Maybe Mark and Guy? :P

I thought Palmer/Clarke and White played last year also together?

Well, I so... That would be something! But isn't it a bit strange if Mark is announced as a special guest in his own band?

If Guy had been involved in it, for sure it would have said on the MKNews site. I mean, he's not that special. But I'm curious about who the lead singer and guitarist will be. Theoretically, it could be Mark, but if he was into it and they really wanted to raise some serious money, he would have been involved in the whole project and they would have called it "Dire Straits reunites for one night only". Not just "three former members (one a bit, one not really) invite you to a jolly trip down the Dire Straits memory lane". But - never say never.

It would be totally nuts if three band members, and two of them more or less "loose" members of DS, would be announced and MK would be "special guest"! You cannot really expect that seriously, can you?  :o

This is just another poor try of old DS members to attract some attention or to fight boredom... Of course it is for a good reason, so it is invulnerable.
I for myself would not read too much into it and for sure this is NOT the big news that Guy will announce in the next few days I am sure...

I don't expect Mark and Guy are there.

I suppose you are right, but at the same time: This is RAH... No way that they would come even close to sell out without any other names on the list, and there is no front figure among them. Someone has to take care of lead vocal and guitar. I think it is a bit strange though that the front figure is a special guest  :P

I notice that pre-sale tickets go on sale today at 9am!    Without having more information about who, exactly, will be playing and price, etc, I will not be rushing to buy!  

I hope this is not Guy's sure-fire potion!

No way MK will be there, GF must surely be unlikley as a close confidant of MK.

Special guests could be Jack Sonni, John Illsley.

No offence to Clark, White and Palmer, but I find it extremely unlikely that they will be able to fill the Albert Hall, even for a good cause.

Don't be surprised if this hig is cancelled due to "unforseen circumstances", ie dismal ticket sales.
