Dropkick Murphys

[circlepit]

Just seen their recently-revealed US / Europe dates, run in Germany til the weekend before R&L, surely a good bet for this year's main stage.

clicky

Let's Go Murphys!

The general consensus is they are going to headline Lock Up based on what Mike Davies said last year and their tour dates.

What did Mike Davies say? (out of interest)

Would love to see them in the tent Loved them on the main stage in 2008.

Nofx and Bouncing Souls are also in Germany at the same time as Dropkick Murphy's

Oh how i'd love it to be NOFX. Saw their 2 slots at Reading last year but the more the merrier

[Dan R]

I think the 2 lock up day headliners will come from those 3 bands

I really hope NoFX and Dropkick Murphys aren't the lock-up headliners. I don't want to have to buy a ticket.

lol.

I really doubt NOFX will headline. Last year was their first UK appearence for about 50 years.

Eh? I saw them at the Shepherd's Bush Empire in 2009! It was more like 50 weeks!

[mattl]

I think NoFX mentioned on the Saturday set, in the lock-up, last year that they were looking into the possibility of headlining the lock-up stage this year.

[chappiepunk]

I still think the Descendents will headline one day

[Clemo]

I saw NOFX on the mainstage last year and would love to see then again, however my mates are tasteless so I doubt I'll get the chance regardless, the cretins.

[jump]

I'm not see Bouncing Souls playing at all, last time they were on the Lock Up they complained it was too small a tent and the crowd was shit.

[Guckeery]

If NoFX do headline it better not be on the Saturday otherwise that will be another band to add to the clash fest Friday would be perfect

Peer group pressure eh?

Just watch what you want and meet them after, thats what I'll be doing, it's a long enough weekend to spend time with your mates, too much money to pay out and then miss the bands you like because your mates don't like them.

[Leyser]

If NoFX headlined the Saturday that would be an awful awful clash with Jane's and The Strokes (or Pulp).

Friday however...

[Englishdragon]

NOFX wont headline the lockup - They rejected the chance a few years back saying they was too big for it (even mentioned it on stage and someone videoed it) The only reason they did the lockup set last year was because they had a mainstage slot as well

And whoever said they never come over. They play in the UK every year, Ive seen them live over here every year for the last 4 years.

[Clemo]

Yeah last year one of my mates came who wasn't really interested in the lineup he just didnt want to miss out cus everyone was going but he's a metal head and instead of going to see the few bands he'd be interested in he just followed us around and stood in the crowd with a face like a slapped arse and complained about the music all the time
