Lock Up 2014

[normalperson]

Can somebody please shed some light on why Misty Miller is playing the lock up as I am flummoxed. Am I missing something here?

[tyranicide]

What letlive. should I check out? I plan to watch them because I have heard so many good things about their live show, but I don't know any of their songs except Banshee

[rawaudioinput]

Great band, excellent live too

Just stick with Fake History and The Blackest Beautiful as they won't play anything off their debut and they're two brilliant albums and two of the best Post Hardcore albums I've listened to but just to narrow it down for you

Fake History

The Sick, Sick, 6.8 Billion

Renegade 86'

Muther

H. Ledger

The Blackest Beautiful

27 Club (hopefully they'll do it with Keith Buckley)

Pheromone Cvlt

That Fear Fever

The Dope Beat (hopefully they'll do it with Dan "Soupy" Campbell)

[rivalschools.price]

Blackest Beautiful is a fantastic album.

letlive. into Mongol Horde on the Sunday should be wild.

Sunday lock-up is looking good in general, Wilhelm Scream always put on a good show and we will end with Gorgol.

[Tobieski]

Pup are playing on the Sunday too I think, they're great

Hi there - new to Leeds this year - can someone explain the Lock Up stage to me - I see Jimmy eat world are playing two stages - does the Lock up have a restricted admission or something?

No restricted admission - JEW will play a set on the mainstage during the day and then will play another set later in the evening, headlining the lock up stage.

[mrtourette]

It's just another stage, it's one of the smaller tents.

Anyone know why theres only 10 bands on the lock up on the friday at Reading and yet 14 on the Saturday and Sunday?

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

So JEW finish before QOTSA I'd imagine

[rivalschools.price]

That will make a good run on Friday night-

Brody-Jimmy Eat World-QOTSA

So the Lock Up Stage is no more, does anybody care about this stage anymore?

I saw Slaves and Dave Hause who were both really enjoyable and I'd never heard of before.

It was pretty dead for A Wilhelm Scream, though got bigger crowds for Brody Dalle and Wonder Years (Leeds).

I also saw a couple of bands in The Pit on Sunday during the day time and the crowds were no better.

Anyone see any decent turn outs? And do we think that it will now be curated by Daniel P Carter?

[JonSnuh]

Letlive had the biggest crowd of the bands I saw and were excellent. As were mongol horde who I was on the barrier for so they might of had a bigger one.

Also for the whole of baby Godzilla I watched staring with my mouth open in shock. Still not sure what to think of it

[Tobieski]

What do you mean the lock up stage is no more?

[DaveElNino]

Neck Deep were about 6 deep outside the tent at Reading. It was also reasonably busy for Pup and The Wonder Years, though not flooding out the tent busy.

A WIlhelm Scream's crowd was small at Reading, though I'd put that down to them clashing with ADTR. Blacklist Royals was pretty much empty to begin (I walked in about 2 minutes before their stage time and walked straight to the barrier in front of the stage). And Baby Godzilla were absolutely brilliant to watch - my mate picked me up on his shoulders and walked me from the back to the middle of the pit which definitely helped make the set memorable.

[Andre91]

I saw The Wonder Years who were awesome and some of While She Sleeps on the Sunday. The tent was absolutely rammed for them.

[the wonderwhy]

As were mongol horde who I was on the barrier for so they might of had a bigger one.

The tent was just over half full. Same for Gogol.

[she bangs the drums]

What do you mean the lock up stage is no more?

A few of the bands playing at Leeds said it was an honour to play the stage in its final year. I guess with Mike Davies leaving Radio 1 means the stage will change over to the Pit for 3 days next year.

The Wonder Years was about three quarters full and Wilhelm Scream started just after ADTR set at Leeds and was still dead.

Gutted to miss Letlive.

[dip]

Letlive, Baby Godzilla, Wonder Years, JEW, ETID, Pup all got decent crowds. Even Vales drew a reasonably sized crowd for 11:30

[jonnyisRFC]

Lock up was as great as ever this year, Dave Hause, The Front Bottoms, Pup and The Wonder Years absolutely killed it. Seriously gutted if that's true about them scrapping it next year, always guaranteed to see fantastic bands and escape bucket hat wearing nob heads that attend Reading these days.

[justanothername]

The Wonder Years in the Lock Up has been one of the best sets I have seen

letlive were amazing there and so was Every Time I Die and Baby Godzilla.

However it being The Pit doesn't mean that much really as it will just merge into one now. I don't see how they could could produce three days of bands for the Pit every year so they'll have bands that normally play The Lock Up anyway like letlive. Anyway We Came As Romans and While She Sleeps were pretty good in The Pit and Of Mice & Men didn't sound too bad as I walked past
