Lockup stage announced on the 17th April

[Vieuphoria]

Social Distortion are similar to Refused in that they're one of these bands that's been around for a very long time and have never really had huge success, but have constantly been cited as inspiration for a number of Punk bands over the years. Recently their recognition has really started to pick up and I definitely think they've got the pulling power to headline Lock Up.

Coachella have been doing their live streaming on Youtube this weekend (started today).

But I noticed this... Jimmy Cliff & Tim Armstrong

How amazing would that booking be. Have Rancid in Lock-up, and then have Jimmy Cliff play as special guests one day with Tim.

Jimmy Cliff is so joyously brilliant live. Would be an original and inspired booking too.

[Ashl]

I'm useless at Lock Up, I tend to like a lot of the bands playing it once I listen to them but would never have any idea to guess who will play so a general question, is there any likelihood of The Gaslight Anthem/Brian Fallon/The Horrible Crowes doing the double set on the Friday at Leeds? I still haven't got a ticket yet but if that happened I think I'd have to at least get a day ticket for the Friday.

How would copying another festivals booking be original and inspired?

Or do you mean original booking for r+l?

[lightning1000]

How is booking a touring act 'copying another festivals booking'. That would make 99% of all festival bookings a total copy. Plus booking Rancid who haven't played in over 10 years, and Jimmy who has never played... and the extra bonus of them both together would be very inspired. I guess we could have one of the host of bands who constantly play fill a special guests slot? Which it probably will be.

I've never listened to Rancid but with so many people banging on about them I decided to give them a listen. Thank you for banging on about them guys, my first impression is very positive!

Just to save confusion, the announcement is on the show late Tuesday night (technically on Wednesday 18th at 00.00)

I thought it might have been the one late night on monday which would be early hours of tuesday morning, but it seems not:

I don't know typical Lock-Up bands really as I'm not really into that scene, so don't laugh at my remark of its ridiculous! Hahaa

What are the chances of a band like PiL playing? I think they're touring but I'm not sure if they'd do lockup or if they'd even bother playing at all

[Vieuphoria]

nah they don't have much chance as playing. The only place I could see them playing is the FR tent headliner. But I doubt it'll happen, as cool as it'd be.

Lock-up is more of a punk stage.

[MAD HARRY 27]

I didnt know HOW punk they were, I haven't given them as much as a listening to as I have done The Pistols

And Yeahhh I presumed more likely FR!

Any idea if the FR or any NME acts will be announced on Tuesday by the way?

[Vieuphoria]

they were a great band. Post-punk/new wave. Maybe punk is attitude, but not in musical style really. great band though.

And I would assume not. The Lock-up is its own announcement. It makes the festival for many people. We're getting LU and the rest of the Dance Arena. They'll leave the FR for its own announcement, same with the rest of the NME, Alt stage, BBC Int etc

[mrtourette]

Yeah looking at previous patterns they'll be in two separate announcements, probably rest of NME in May and FR in June.

[mrtourette]

i think reading Facebook/twitter is announcing it earlier then he is playing songs by the bands announced in his show

[quilani]

[JBarbour]

Why would they do that, I thought that he always announced it on his show?

I'd imagine the dance tent will be announced via the website/facebook but the lock-up will be done on his show.

[mrtourette]

Fair enough, is that what they did in previous years? I aleays though Mike Davies announced it.

[JBarbour]

I think in the passed he's announced it first with facebook/website confirming next day. Can't remember last year thou

[huntyyy]

They always announce it Tuesday 9am, just this year Mike Davies happens to have his show on the wednesday morning rather than tuesday morning, so hes just playing tracks from the announced artists after the fact.

Personally i want the Fr headliner announcement, curious as to who they've given it too... (figers for Dan le sac on saturday)

[mrtourette]

He's at V so he won't be at R&L, plus he's already said that he's giving this year a miss.
