Lock Up 2015

[Andre91]

Mastodon is an unbelievable addition. That's one of my nights sorted.

MASTODON and REFUSED

fucking Incredible. Wow.

[rivalschools.price]

Woah! Where ! what!

Mastodon playing? When was this announced?

What stage?

[Andre91]

Mastodon are headlining The Pit. Just announced on the Rock Show on Radio One.

Yup

Around 20 mins ago

The Pit, headliners and all

[rivalschools.price]

That is amazing news.

Fantastic.

Metallica, Royal Blood, Refused and now Mastodon with only about 15-20% of the line up announced.Things are looking up.

Well a lot of bands work better in the tent but when I saw them last year I didn't think they were better or worse than when they opened the main in 2013 also The Pit wasn't as busy (still a lot of people though) as I thought last year and I was at Leeds where I'd have they'd be more popular

This post means nothing.

It means bands work better in the tent but also they don't and The Pit wasn't busy but also it was.

So many words just there and why

JAN likes using connectives.

[Gucci Piggy]

Hahahahaha I've noticed that.

I was saying that even though most bands work better in the tent but for WSS there was no difference and it wasn't as busy I thought it would be. I thought it would be rammed like Neck Deep

[huntyyy]

Cant see anything saying Exclusivity for Hevy, can we have The Get Up Kids at Reading aswell please. Touche Amore on the Refused day would be good too.

Mastodon are a blinding headliner, I heard they were playing but I was expecting a Main stage slot on the Metallica day.

[Msk]

Thrice are exclusive for hevy. Creeper would be a good early lock-up band.

[edgar]

If Mastodon are at Reading and Dillinger are in the country around that time, possibility of Killer Be Killed?

[benjamingepage]

Gnarwolves

Public Domain

Baby Godzilla

Astroid Boys

Desolated

Bury Tomorrow

Acoda

I'd say Slaves but I reckon they'll be on the NME and I doubt PTV will play the pit, most likely they'll play the same slot that SWS played last year

[jonnyisRFC]

Am I right in thinking that the full lock up/pit is announced mid April?

[Hawky]

The acts on this stage this year are actually, mostly, terrific. I mean Goijira and Ghost? Two spectacular live bands.

[SOAD]

Was rather shocked by Ghost and Gojira being announced but will def try check out both. Gojira in particular are very strong live. Lockup/The Pit doesnt actually have a single band I don't want to see. They are all great.

Edit: Actually don't care for Simple Plan but sort of forgot about them. Otherwise it's pretty awesome.

The Story So Far have just finished their album and with them not being at Slam Dunk they'd be welcome in the Lock Up this year

[edgar]

Surprised Story Of The Year haven't been announced for any festivals yet. they really seem to hate England.

[ClemFandango97]

Just listening to Torche's new album, really enjoying it. This seems the most likely place for them to be, any chance of an appearance? (I know they're American so unless their touring almost certainly not).

Well quite a few acts actuallycome over for a one off and do one or two shows in the UK while they're here. I know The Wonder Years and La Dispute did this and quite a few others too so it isn't out of the possibility

[Calzum]

Nai Harvest could be a shout for an early slot, seem to play every festival under the sun

[SOAD]

Really hope Hey! Hello! turn up... doesn't seem Ginger Wildheart has had much to do with Reading (well certainly not for a long time) but reckon they would go down really well. Plus considering they have started touring it would be good if they can snap them up.
