saw it somewhere on one of the official forums. Said he spoke to Geoff at GIAN. Could easily be a lie, but id imagine its true tbh. Dont see any reason to make it up, and they look pretty likely with the new album and all

[jammy2211]

Think this is very likely and splendid news, would be a great top 2 on the lock up with Rise Against. Would make up for the junk on the Saturday.

Lock up is shaping up nicely...

EDIT: Someone on punktastic says A are headlining the lock up too... wouldn't write it off although I've not got a clue whether there is any reason to believe them, could easily be BS.

A? They still exist?

[Explosions_In_The_Sky]

A?

Everyone was a little shocked they were considered headline material back in 04, let alone 09!

[scottt]

Yeah, there i no way they are big enough now, if they ever even were

[Keva]

Arnt they a pop band?

Yeah pretty much.. would be a great headliner to appease the rock fans

[Calm Like A Bomb]

"I wouldn't swap it for a job in Starbucks..." those guys?

If so I seem to remember two songs. That one, and Nothing?

Thats a blast from the past

I am pretty sure the A thing was a joke.

[scottt]

Still, the headlining bit must be and better be a joke

[Chr!s]

People in the thread were just saying stupid bands to headline. It was clearly a joke.

Plus didn't someone on PT call A headlining years ago and was shot down and then it turned out to be true, so it was proberly just an ongoing joke.

I am 99% A won't be headling or even playing R+L

[jammy2211]

To be honest I wouldn't say we have any realistic headliner rumours yet, except Rise Against which I'd say it pretty much dead cert for one day. Rancid and NoFX are mentioned every year... guess you can't write Thursday off either though... FFAF maybe? :/.

I doubt A would headline though, second from top seems more likely imo. Tis a shame we're still without Dillinger Escape Plan Rumours >_>.

[scottt]

D.E.P would be so good.

Rancid this year though, the new album, and the way Mike Davies seems to be putting off their appearance on the show and the leeds announcement. Its gonnaa happen. I can feel it in my bones

[goodlookinout]

Rancid would be a good headliner for the lock up - the tent would be chaos though hahaha (chaos in a good way :-p)

I think millencolin may play as they have euro festival appearances up on their website for August, although I couldn't tell if they were old shows or not as they weren't on myspace.

A were a phenomenal live band back in their day - they slayed the mainstage back in 2000 and the crowd went crazy - but I think their time has passed now.

I would love to see f**ked Up or The Bronx on there - but I suspect the NME tent will have f**ked Up if they do play.
