[wheres the mudfight]

one or both of these bands has played most years that I've been. always adds to the festival IMO. FM are playing the Fuji festival in Japan which seems to provide a few early indicators for R+L...

[sjp_121]

If DKM play... my weekend will be made.

Flogging Molly less so... but would be amazing if they did

Although my friends will have NO idea who both of them are... but I have to see at least one if they play.

[tomdsjames]

I saw Flogging Molly at the Lockup Stage in 08 and they amazing!  I'd love to see them again

[iammonky]

I`d be happy with either, and even happier with both.

Is dropkicks headlining the Lockup a possibility, say on the arcade fire day?

Flogging Molly headline Lock up on the Day of Blink...
Dropkick on the day of Arcade Fire.

MOST ULTIMATE RESULT EVER.

I wish flogging molly would headline,
But they were middle of the day in 08
The set was amazing but way too short
Dropkicks could headline though, they're definately at least as big as rise against lol

I would only want to see Blink for one, maybe two songs. I couldn't care less about them.
But each to their own.

And your right, Arcade Fire are just a boring noise to me. Can't see the attraction.

Who would you want on the lockup this year. 2 headliners and 2 underneath
I`d go for:

Rancid
Dropkick Murphys
The King Blues

The Get Up Kids
Saosin
Dillinger 4

doubt DKM would be 2nd. any 2 from Rancid, NOFX, DKM and Bad Religon would be awesome. if Rancid and NOFX play Reading or tour this year 2010 will result in me seeing all my favourite bands ever (assuming Carter play their 4th last ever gigs )

I'll go with

Rancid
Alkaline Trio
Flogging Molly

NOFX
Against Me!
Lagwagon

apologies for the unlikely/old school nature of this. I'm sure it'll be more up-to-date, I'm just too old to remember these new fangled punk bands ;D


with DKM and King Blues playing the mainstage

[iammonky]

DKM and King Blues on main stage does actually make alot more sense.
I think Rancid/ NOFX is the ultimate lockup headliner combination thats actually possible.

yeah,this would suit me too. most of it quite possible with NOFX still touring coaster/cokie,alkaline trio new album out and a new one due from against me!

[Lithium05]

Surely Rancid and NOFX are too big for the Lock-up. They don't get over here enough to be put on such a small stage.

[jonnyisRFC]

well 'wheres the mudfight' me and you must have very similer music tastes as DKM and flogging molly are two of my favourite bands then in your signature you say your going to see Gaslight Anthem, good on ya.

Id say they're at least as big as less than jake and gallows (08 headliners)
last year they shrunk it down, both in physical size and the headliners were a lot smaller
And I know for a lot of people the lock-up stage is like a festival on its own
It'd be good to get some more big names on there

The headliners were smaller last year? I thought they were much bigger. Maybe not such punk/hardcore legends etc, but ive never heard of so many people who dont like punk music wanting to see the lock up headliners.

Wasn't one of them Rise Against?! Can't remember who else it was but Rise Against are easily bigger than Gallows. NOFX and Rancid are bigger than Less Than Jake too. But like I said it's frequency of tours, NOFX and Rancid don't get over here much, whereas Less Than Jake do, and as for Gallows people have been able to catch them everywhere over the past few years.

In fact, in the time I've been going to Reading the collective appearances of NOFX and Rancid has been 1. Which was NOFX in 2005.
