Is the lockup stage complete?

[riizch]

Back around the time that the lockup stage was announced, there was a lot of talk about somebody doing a double set, a special guest band still to be added and a couple of other rumours about a band that was still to be added, but not until after another festival had taken place. Nothing has really been said about any of these rumours since...has all that been put to bed now, or are we still waiting for some news?

[scottt]

Theres 2 bands left to be announced. The Rats and one other. So i'm gonna go for Gallows (The Rats) and Glassjaw sub headlining, because TGUK (as much as i love them), aren't big enough to headline. Add to that that Glassjaw are headlining Hevy fest.

That's the only band i can think fo who it could be anyway.

[saskofreak]

i wish capdown agreed to do other fests than slam dunk...

[Vieuphoria]

is it not Gaslight Anthem subbing?

[SamSC]

Less than jake please. That would make my weekend.

[Keva]

BIG D!!!!

(Would up the amount of Ska bands on the bill and also playing Rebellion with The Skints, Streetlight Manifesto and Bad Religion so possible..)

[Lithium05]

Sonic Boom Six or Skindred would suit me

I noticed on Sum 41's website that they are heading to europe to play in switzerland on 31st of August, and because they pulled out of download im counting them as a wishful suprise entry.

I'm still clinging on to the fading hope of No Use For a Name and Lagwagon. They're touring Europe together in July/August which ends mid-August with no UK dates announced...

[j-j-j-j-joe!]

The Rats is Gallows. Don't ask how I know but trust me, it's them.

[Budweiser]

please be Glassjaw.

[scottt]

please be Glassjaw.

The Rats is Gallows. Don't ask how I know but trust me, it's them.

[j-j-j-j-joe!]

The same reason everyone else knows? It's been the worst kept secret ever.

[ska_4_life]

No, i actually heard it straight from someone with a connection to the band. I won't say who, but trust me, they should know.

Because having a link to someone involved with the band is totally the same as what you said. Stop making it out as if he's being a dick about it.

Speaking of are they or aren't they Gallows. Timeout have said Rats are Gallows.

No source listed but my nephew's girlfriend is a dental nurse who worked on the guy's teeth that wrote the article, and he said he herd it from the his binman who drinks in the same pub as the Frank Carter's bank manager who herd it 1st hand from Frank himself.

[Megahurtz400]

Theres aeomthing to do with The Rats on the Gallows site, and The Rats is the only band without info about it on the Reading site?

Thats my evidence

[cally8793]

In response to the Sum 41 thing, there's a similar situation with Sublime With Rome, who're playing Hamburg (I think) on the 31st, but no other European dates.

I think Glassjaw will most probably be the final band added next week after Hevy Festival.

It's strange no-one is pulling two sets in one day, they've been setting it up this way since it was the concrete jungle!
