Bit of a werid question, but can anybody ecplain the Lock Up stage? Is it for new bands, up and coming bands. Big bands to headline??

The first day is realistic. Second day not so. Social D, out of respect and their influence, would have to headline or at least play the main stage somewhere. Descendents would in no way be above them, especially as Social D have got a new album out. Same goes with Frank Turner. Would have to play main stage or high up the NME stage. Wouldn't settle for 4th one down the bill, since he is headlining a stage at Download I believe.

comeback kid self confirmed at a show in london last night apparently. can anyone confirm this?

[Jackosity guy]

Frank would probably being doing double duty since he's already playing main stage so it really doesn't matter where he's on the bill or he could just be doing a secrete set like NoFX last year so it really wouldn't matter then.

would descendents headline???

not sure as they sold out shep bush for two nights but they were the only dates in the uk.not sure how well they would do if it was a full 8 or 9 date acadamy size venue tour like usual lock up headliners.

i'll be front row centre anyway,great band.

on another note, it will be interesting to see who from the lock up is clashing with glassjaw as i suspect a fair few people will wander over from the lock up tent to the NME when glassjaw hit the stage.

I'm sure they would headline, they have been one of the most defining punk/pop-punk bands of the last 30 years!

going to see them on Tuesday, can't wait

Anyone looked at the Highfield line-up? The week before Reading, in Germany. Most of the bands are playing Reading too. One name stands out though... The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

Mike Davies has been trying to book them for years, looks like he might have got them this year. YES!

[Andrinald]

Hot Water Music, Dropkick Murphys, No Use For A Name, Bouncing Souls and Boysetsfire all playing Highfield too.

Face to Face also playing Kingston on August 23rd with The Flatliners and The Arteries.

All of these plus the Descendents seem likely.

Mike Davies hinted quite heavily that they'd be playing no? And I'd say May - end of August is quite a lot of notice for fans to see them.

Comeback Kid also self confirmed apparently. Thats a lot of possible bands for comparably few high up slots. Would like Hot Water Music and Comeback Kid most out of the Highfield/Self confirmed bands.

Madball

Dropkick Murphys

Zebrahead

Yellowcard

Descendants

Comeback Kids

Bouncing Souls

According to a punktastic user, descendents are playing reading and leeds

'Straight from Milos mouth. Reading and Leeds for sure and some other shows tagged on around it. Get excited !'

obviously not 100% reliable, but they have been heavily rumoured on the punk show. Awesome news

that will be fantastic news.what do we know about the credibility of the punktastic user? has he got a history of pretending to know the guy who works in the printers where the posters are made or claim to walk the dog of a roadie or something?
