Lock Up 2013

[lightning1000]

Alkaline Trio are playing

Oh my god

[Com Truise]

Really??? Maybe he'll announce them next, would love it if they played.

[lightning1000]

Don't be silly they only played 3 years ago

[The Placid Casual]

Yeah but they played 2 years before that so I think they're in with a shout.

[Com Truise]

Well they aren't playing Chile this year so they can't be playing R&L

[edgar]

Take it nothing got announced then? Piss take.

[Yellow_Fellow]

what's the difference?

Just checked out that Arcane Roots sampler on their page on the Reading website, liking what I hear, gunna check them out I think.

Where the HELL is defeater though? new album coming out, no UK dates. Come on man!!!

Their warped tour dates ends start of August, get over to Europe to do the fests lads!

Just hope everything falls nicely, Saturday has provided a quite nice alternative to Foals and Chase and Status.

[Com Truise]

alternative to Foals?!?!

What a waste of time that was last night!!

I don't think they deliberately misled us but why did they think we would be interested in him 'announcing' all the acts that have already been announced?

I think it was Radio 1's belief that they weren't annoucing it with the rest on Thursday. Seems strange they held back the 1Xtra stage from the poster but not Lock Up.

I don't think we'll get more Lock up additions until after Slam Dunk or even until after Download

He also said something like 'We're quite happy with it,we got together the best line-up with the money we had available'.

Maybe his budget has been cut, if so then the days of Bad Religion,NoFx,Rise Against and the Descendents could be long gone.

To think that early guesses on this thread had Pennywise,Black Flag and Dropkick Murphys.

[Martino231]

The budget must have been slashed if the best he could come up with was Alkaline Trio and a band that had already been booked.

[LEMON_WOLF]

Are you saying Tomahawk were already booked? Just because they were in the main announcement, doesn't mean they were booked before he booked them for the Lock Up...

[Gucci Piggy]

Yeah but the Shikari day is booked by Daniel whatever his name is that does the rock show isn't it? You could well be right about Mike not booking all of the Lock Up, though.

[rivalschools.price]

I don't think they let him book all of Lock Up this year, as good as Tomahawk are I doubt they'd be something he'd go for. And there's no chance he was the one behind the Shikari doing crappy dubstep idea. As far as I'm concerned Lock Up isn't Lock Up this year and it could seriously effect my attendance

[lharris92]

not going to lie, really hope the sales suffer this year, just as a "fuck you" to the way they've ruined the stage and fucked it up in a fair few places

i really enjoyed discovering a few gems in the lockup in previous years and if he's had less of a say in it then that takes away part of it - especially with some of the crap put on there.... (even if it is the "rock day")
