New York’s Central Park Summerstage is one of the most popular outdoor concert series in the country. But British ska godfathers [lastfm]The Specials[/lastfm] won’t be making it to Central Park for their scheduled appearance in August! Find out why after the jump.

The band has had to pull out of its scheduled August 22nd tour date, citing “visa issues.” However, [lastfm]The Specials[/lastfm] will be able to get into Canada, and will play shows in Toronto on August 27th and 28th. The band did not announce whether these visa issues will force the cancellation of a scheduled show in Atlantic City, NJ, set for September 2nd.

The good news, though, is that the band is planning a 2011 United States tour.

Has it already been three months since they rocked out at Coachella?

Where would you want to see [lastfm]The Specials[/lastfm] play in LA if/when the band comes through in early 2011?
