Lock Up 2012

[jump]

Bored so I thought I try a 2012 Lock Up thread.

Sonic Boom 6, Against Me! & Skints all have new albums out next year and ain't played in awhile. Also reckon We Are the Ocean, Man Overboard & Social Distortion could be in with a shout.

Skints are touring with YMA6, Mayday Parade and Kids in glass houses in march, could gain some popularity through that

[iPaulo xD]

Would love to see We Are The In Crowd, they have gained massive popularity since forming

[allan14]

Four year strong also have a new album out, may be a good shout to open main stage tho.. Maybe Hyro da hero he has seamed to get alot more popular recently.

sonic boom six please, hant seen them yet!

Would love Dropkick Murphys

[rivalschools.price]

against me! would be great,missed them last time. social distortion would be awesome,never seen em and ,as infrequent visitors to the uk,i doubt many have.

small brown bike and old firm casuals would be good for lower down the bill

also,.its a few years since we've seen our old pals,pennywise,reel big fish and lagwagon.

oh,and less than jake!

RANCID (i think all posts on this thread should end with the word RANCID)

Would love Rancid (or Transplants for that matter) but Mike Davies has said before he's tried to get them and they are too expensive for the Lock Up's budget.

[iPaulo xD]

Would be nice to see D.R.U.G.S on the lock up somewhere

[moshing]

Want to see Zebrahead back - going to see them in Newcastle next week and can't wait

[therefused]

letlive.

the wonder years

la dispute

touche amore

should all play.

[rivalschools.price]

did i read somewhere that propagangi have a new album out?

[lharris92]

just thinking, if by any chance billy talent play r&l, could they do a 2nd set in the lock up? like frank turner & nofx have done in the last two years.

cause i know a few years back they headlined it - in 2009.

probably unlikely but hey

[rivalschools.price]

presidents of the usa would also be great.touring in march.

[rivalschools.price]

not sure where presidents of the usa would play.not sure of their profile at the mo. will prob go to see them in march in the o2 in bristol but havent heard much about them lately so not sure how popular they are these days

[Bisque]

How busy does the lock up get these days? Last time I went in there was to see a bit of Cerebral Ballzy in '10 & there were about 50 people standing around watching the car crash that was happening on stage.

[lharris92]

was fairly busy last year when i was in there, mind you i was in there a lot so yeah.

packed out for a few of the sets, always more than half full i would guesstimate.

[pablopablo]

Would R/L ever consider going two days dance and one day lock up? Although i'm guessing it wouldn't be very popular with the people in this thread, it may appeal to the younger crowd. Just a thought?

[lharris92]

up to 2005 it was that, but since 2006 had been 2 days of the lockup.

probably would annoy a fair few as if there is more indie on the other stages it provides a heavier alternative

[Dan R]

Also the fact that Creamfields is the same weekend would make 2 days of big dance acts difficult to book. As well as the fact a lot of people buy tickets to R+L purely for the lock-up, and stray little from it.

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

theres too many other dance festivals/events on that bank holiday weekend which limit the amount of people they can get. Creamfields is the real killer as a lot of artists struggle to do reading, leeds and cream.

every time I went in/past the dance tent this year it was packed every time though. I prefer it as the the lock up even though I like dance stuff more, the 'dance tent' is a helmet magnet.

[jump]

The Real McKenzies have a new album out and are planning to tour this year and yet to play Lock Up, I could see them added just to be one of those bands that get added to avoid repeating line ups.

[huntyyy]

So, I probably wont be the only One to think it. At the drive in?

[sm93]

Far too big for the Lock-up surely, i'd say sub or third on NME a la DFA1979 from last year?
