Next year will be the 15-year anniversary of the event, and Boomtown Rats and Belinda Carlisle have already been confirmed as the first two headliners.

I might do a Rats festival if its close to London otherwise I cannot really be bothered with festivals.Cant they play a proper stand up gig which is not to difficult to get to.

I suspect its all about the money. I dont think the Rats have sold out a gig in their own right for many a year. Well not with full price tickets. Festivals are a guaranteed pay day. They played Stone Valley (Ware) and Dagenham a couple of years ago, both of which are close to London.
Regarding London (and nearby) festivals, there are a few possibilities.
Pub in the Park takes place in Chiswick, which would be handy for Pete Briquette.
Crystal Palace (South Facing) has a few summer dates. This year there was an Iggy Pop/Blondie/Buzz****s/Stiff Little Fingers/Generation Sex day, so maybe there could be something like a Damned/Stranglers/Rats + others day next year.
Hampton Court/Audley End have heritage days, so every chance of Rats being on a bill like that.
Greenwich has some dates in early July, ditto Kew.
