So each day only has 9 bands on the main stage and we always get an extra band added later in the year so who does everybody think its going to be?

I think the bottom bands are going to be the openers so we could get a band added 2nd or 3rd up. Personally think its going to be Dropkick Murphys on MCR day and Manchester Orchestra on the Muse day (I assume the strokes day will only have 9 if they are joint headlining)

If Dropkick Murphys play they will be headlining the Lock Up.

My money's on the Lock-up double set guys on the friday, giving additional time for both the strokes and pulp to have a similar amount of time co-headlining, and giving muse the full 2 hours.

One additional band to be added on the main stage IMO.

Hopefully Funeral For A Friend on the Friday, between Rise Against and BMTH.

This I'm thinking only one not band to be added mcr day. Muse will get 2 hrs and the strokes and pulp will get 1hr30 each.

I can't see the Lock Up & Dance stages being the same days this year, they have changed the days around before and other wise it would mean 2manydjs are up against the dance stage headliner and the Friday line up of mostly punk/hardcore bands up against the Lock Up.

Although it seems obvious the Dance tent will be on the Friday (Reading) this year, probably why it won't happen, you know Melvin  

Hope it is though, might actually give me a headliner I want to see.

Forgot to say the remaining time on the strokes day will be taking up by a longer madness set, that's why they have their own logo.

Hopefully, Rancid. Swiftly followed on the Saturday by a flock of flying pigs.

[RDCL]

i would probably get a ticket if rancid headlined lock up

[MJMilz14]

Noone will be added at the bottom of Muse day. We Are The Ocean are opening that day for definate.

I am waiting for this before I decide whether to get a ticket or not.

i can see dropkick murphys and Nfx/Rancid headlining the Lock up, with someone like Frank Turner or Jimmy Eat World doing the double set.

Infact does anyone else think the lock up will be on friday and saturday this year? The 2nd stage on the sunday with 2 Many Dj's and The Streets would take an audience away from the Dance Tent Surely?

[JAnderson]

Due to the Strokes/Pulp co-headlining and Muse getting the two hour slot I'd imagine there'll be two days of 9 and one (MCR day) with 10 this year instead of the usual two 10's and a 9 on the two hour slot day.

Dance day will be most probably be MCR day, definitely not on the 2manydjs day.

[Guess Who]

Anyone know roughly when these other announcements will be?

In 2009, just looking on that official site lock up was announced midnight (and into the early hours) of the last monday of april / last tuesday on mike davies' punk show. Usually there's no more announcements til around then, maybe the odd band or two

I dont doubt We Are The Ocean are opening but I can see a band getting added 2nd or third up. Muse only tend to do 1h30 shows, its what they did at Glastonbury and on their tour.

There will definitely be a band added the MCR day, MCR will only play 1hr30 tops with 30stm and offspring getting a hour.

[Buko]

If The Strokes & Pulp are Co headlining then i can only see 1 band being added on the MCR day, id rather have an hour and a half from both The Strokes & Pulp than have 30 minutes of some other band.
