Lock Up 2012

[Martino231]

The two main bands on my wishlist are Anti-Flag and InMe. Hoping for Refused too as long as they don't clash with Foos!

[Greg123]

Would like to see Every Time I Die on there somewhere. Would also love to see Polar play first on one of the days too, they seem to be gaining a steady following and have their debut album out in May.

[Musesetlist]

If Refused played and clashed with The Cure, I would literally cry. Above Billy Talent please, or at least clashing with the Foos.

[bs8]

Hoping for lower than atlantis, might be more early nme now though after their latest album not being as heavy.

[JHO]

Anyone know when the lockup will be announced?

[she bangs the drums]

[Siamesedream22]

Well the king blues aren't going to be playing

[Vieuphoria]

excellent

[Regular Chris]

Does refused and the gallows being announced for download mean they won't be at reading

[Dan R]

Downloads website is claiming they're a UK Exclusive.

"Set to show crowds the shape of punk to come, Swedish band Refused will make their exclusive UK festival appearance at Download. Earlier this year, the band announced their long awaited reunion - this is one comeback show you do NOT want to miss!"

Not sure if I'm pointing out the obvious here, but wouldn't Download have been scheduled to happen before sonisphere i.e. June is before July.

Because that means they have either just been snapped up by Download or Sonisphere didn't even manage to get the first UK appearence of their 'UK Exclusive' act!

[Greg123]

They have also been removed from the rumours page for Reading. Shite. Exclusive doesn't mean shit these days though really.

[mrtourette]

also Copping just tweeted me confirming that 'this will be exclusively their FIRST UK show'. maybe that is the exclusive element?

[alex28]

If they are Download exclusive then I will be mythed to why R/L didn't book them so I'm still thinking they're playing, just coz NME says it's their only UK show it means nothing especially as it's NME.

[mrtourette]

Well NME took it from the Download site, so it's Download saying it.

[jump]

"Exclusively their first UK show"? What the hell does that mean? Unless they're playing two UK shows at exactly the same time (obviously impossible) then of course the one that's earlier is going to be "exclusively their first UK show". Idiot (Copping, not you).

[kipper64]

Actually the Soni website said first UK show since 1998 jump.

It's their first show back, and only festival show, but I reckon they'll do an off-date in London, like a headline show, possibly when they were meant to be at Sonisphere, and considering the ties between LN and FR, the possibility of a secret set at Reading/Leeds in lock up is probably much higher now.
