Lockup 2009

[Lithium05]

I hate to say it (overjoyed as I was with maiden's victory). but Arctic Monkeys weren't actually eligible for any BRIT Awards...

[Matticus]

please can we get everytime i die and poison the well? that would be great.

The Bled also would be fantastic, or 36 Crazyfists

[pink_triangle]

NOFX are easily big enough for mid main stage, my reasoning is I don't see them agreeing to do a day headlined by any of this year's headliners.

Could be wrong though.

EDIT: I remember Sonisphere's organisers said "the music will be more diverse than just Metal, but it won't be indie schmindie". If they're still hacked off about last year, maybe they'll end up playing there instead?

[beLIEveR]

I'd say with a fair bit of confidence that I doubt the lockup headliners or lower mainstage bands have been booked yet, only approached.

There's my two cents. Bit of guessing and wishful thinking with some of them. Also didn't have a clue at headliner of second day so randomly put Sum 41,

I imagine Frank Turner will be on radio 1 this year

Sum 41 have a new album out this year, they'd make a good lock up headliner!

[she bangs the drums]

That would make me very happy

[Lithium05]

How about Gallows only joking!

out of the 3 main stage headliners which would you least like to see?

[MartinGooding]

not going this year but if i was these would be the bands id like to see in the lockup, in no particular order

Frank Turner,

Sonic Boom Six,

Random Hand,

Grown At Home,

King Blues,

Slackers,

Fandangle,

Whole Wheat Bread,

Red Jumpsuit Apparatus,

Rise Against,

Ballpoint,

Rancid,

NoFx

this is the one thing that worries me about not going Leeds or Reading again, the fact that il be missing so many brilliant punk and ska bands in the lockup

[theramm]

Updated news - In keeping with this years theme, the Lock Up headliners are :-

Mystery Jets - The Hoosiers - The Feeling

Should be pretty bad ass.

[lidds]

you think there is any chance of LTJ been there again this year o and goldfinger

[edgar]

i'd like to see rise against, strike anywhere, strung out, i adapt, poison the well, architects, senses fail, the king blues (again).

rancid? could be possible as they finish there US tour late july, and theyve got new stuff.

random hand definalty there doing the rebelion festival aswell, as are king blues and sonic boom six.I really hope king blues dont get a main stage slot so much better with a smaller crowd.

leftover crack are also a possiblity as there playing rebellion and i doubt they would come over to the uk for one show, they may a tour though.

flogging molly are also at rebellion so they may play again at leeds.

and hopefully NOFX and sum 41 that would be amazing!

finaly does anybody think the lock up will be made bigger like that radio 1/nme stage cause that was a load of bollocks

[Rancidpunk_76]

The only thing that would make up for the indie-fication of the Reading festival would be for Rancid to be offered the double slot Friday (half way up main stage, then headline Lockup) followed by NOFX headlining the Lockup Saturday.

Frankly, if the main stage goes the way it's rumoured then the Lockup will have to be frackin' stellar to stop me selling my ticket.

[dakyras]

It's times like these I wish Capdown hadn't split.

[Chr!s]

Just thought Farse and Snuff are re-uniting to play a few gigs so wouldn't be suprised if they play LU.

Hopefully someone like Capdown or Lightyear can come back and play.

NIN set for Lock Up Stage!!!

Nine Inch Nails Likely For Leeds Festival 2009

Nine Inch Nails look likely for Leeds Festival 2009, after Virtual Festivals reported that the band are ‘close to signing an agreement.’

This came in the midst of rumours that this year there will be no heavy rock or metal acts headlining the main stage.

Therefore we predict that they will most probably appear a little lower down the roster, or headline one of the tents. Most likely the Lock Up.

Remember, if you have any news or information about the line-up then speak up in the comments section of any post. We pretty much scan them all!

[beLIEveR]

Stranger things have happened I suppose. I came across someone on the way back last year who thought Bring Me The Horizon did well. In the same way 50 Cent and Daphne and Celeste have done well in the past, I assume.

Iron Maiden to play the lockup.

If enough people say it, rumour sites will start agreeing with us, which means it'll definately happen
