I reckon this has been known amongst the band for quite a while and chose to keep quite about it until they finished their current dates (though the last one was in January) as they weren't booked for any fests at all which did seem weird. Anyway it's still a shame to see them go and I'm glad I got to see them on what could be their last ever UK headline tour last year. Fake History is a Post Hardcore classic. Though I'm surprised they've broken up. Letlive has always had members come and go apart from Jason. Though I reckon they'll be back in a few years, it seems that quite a few good Post Hardcore bands have (At The Drive-In, Glassjaw, Refused, Drive Like Jehu and Fall of Troy  ).

Yeah, huge loss to music if we don't see them again.

Other than Less Than Jake, are there any other guesses as to who the TBA Lock Up headliner could be? 

My original guess of letlive is out, some say Rise Against but no real reason not to announce them already.

Huge long shot but Cky are on Daniel Carters show this week.Sold out their current tour, with many shows upgraded from their original venues.Not sure they are headline material though so doubt it's them.

Creeper could surprise us but unlikely.

Back to Less than Jake then

CKY would be an awesome choice! I'm seeing them in Birmingham in a couple of weeks!

Yeah, would be fantastic.

Not sure how they'd go down at Reading though and if they are there I'd be surprised if they are headlining.

Saying that,I totally misjudged their popularity in the U.K. when they announced their tour.

Tickets went pretty fast and venues got upgraded,many upgraded shows have sold out too.

Not as if there is only a few dates either, there's about 12 or 13 dates on the tour.

CKY would be awesome.

letlive. 

Just had to look see what this was about. That is sad news indeed. There aren't many screamy bands I like and they were one of them. Glad I got to see them.

[VCK]

Would love to see Death Grips added to the Main Stage on the Muse day.

[Mattymooz]

Do people think A Blaze of Feather (New band ft. Ben Howard) could be added? Maybe as the special guest opener or something? Kinda love this EP tbh....

[JSmurphy]

Kasabian's new album gets two thumbs up from me.

[Andre91]

Gnarwolves' new album is bloody excellent. I don't think there is a bad song on it. If you like punk rock of any kind, get yourself in the tent for their set. Such a great band.

Might have to check them out

Not sure if they have been mentioned but are Don Broco a possibility to be the special guest headliner for the Lockup to be announced after Slam Dunk?

Nah. After Slam Dunk, Ally Pally is their only UK Show of 2017. 

[Obiginnaw]

Maybe Nothing but thieves for the secret set ?

Are they big enough for it (Given the size of the acts the last couple of years e.g. Jamie T, Foals, YM@6 etc.)? Would expect Royal Blood would be more likely...

[Peskybee]

Yeah I expect Royal Blood or alt-J.

[JSmurphy]

Blossoms ft. Chase & Status released tomorrow..

I had a similar thought but Enter Shikari instead

[Pop Punk Sucks]

You can't really have While She Sleeps headline one night and Enter Shikari headline it the other night. 

[Andre91]

Enter Shikari headlining the Lock Up  that's got to be one of the most unrealistic shouts ever posted on here.

I dunno about most unrealistic. One guy was all like "Enter Shikari to sub next year".
