The Pit

[mentalgellar]

Dan P Carter has tweeted that no acts for The Pit have been announced yet, so I was thinking we could have a thread for the acts that people think might be in the tent. I'm mainly hoping for Letlive. and The Wonder Years.

Crossfaith and Parkway for Main Stage, then? I think that TWY will get a Main Stage slot also. 

I'd like to see Bury Tomorrow, Gnarwolves, Grader, The Story So Far, Deez Nuts, Modern Baseball, TWIABP, Creeper and Four Year Strong.

Can see Bury Tomorrow getting a main stage slot this year. Didn't they do The Pit last year?

[dentalplan]

Clutch are around in August. I feel like they could headline The Pit.

Probably less likely if Mastodon are to come straight back into the slot they vacated last year but that never really happens with R+L and I think they could be main stage instead after a new album is released.

Unless they play a bigger slot, Sum-41 are absolutely nailed on to headline the Lock Up.

NOFX are around as well however they're always around and might even be on the Rebellion line up - I know Descendents are so they're probably out.

So Clutch, Sum-41 and some crap band. Would have said Parkway Drive fit the last slot but it seems that they're on main so maybe Andre has a suggestion for it.

edit: not that Sum-41 aren't crap but they're for the Lock Up if they play, I suppose.

Yes to the majority of justanothername's list and tbh most of the ones I wouldn't say yes to are because I've not listened to them yet.

Probably the main band that I would want are Death From Above 1979 to headline while RHCP are on. Well actually the band I want the most, and for a bit of a curveball, would be Cursive. Although they would probably be more likely for FR (despite being unlikely to play either).

Clutch is a good shout, I hadn't thought of them. I'm going for Sum 41, Glassjaw and Mastodon as headliners, providing they come back to make up for last year. Failing that, I'd like to see Architects given the slot. 

[seanz25]

Everyone seems to be saying Sum 41 for Lock-up, is it not a bit small for them? Wouldn't they be better suited to the NME stage, especially as the new album will be out by then to? 

[theramm]

Lars from Rancid's side project 'The Old Firm Casuals' are in the UK in August at Rebellion Fest. Worth a shout for The Pit.

Clutch headlining would be lovely.

[theshapeofpunktocome123]

so parkway drive main stage ? good start for the heavy(er) main stage day .

[theshapeofpunktocome123]

i think you're overestimating Sum 41's current popularity. i know there's a bit of hype about them coming back, but they're not that big (especially not headlining NME big). headlining the Lock-Up would be perfect for them these days

They did sell out their Kerrang Tour dates pretty quick, London flew out! I wouldn't be surprised by them being a few down on NME or lower main stage.

I did think that they would play Main, but While She Sleeps played Pit two years in a row and I think subbing The Pit on the back of Earthbound (which is massive, btw!) would be the perfect spot for them. 

Something along the lines of this would be great: 

Mastodon / Bury Tomorrow / Crossfaith / Deafheaven / Kvelertak 

Glassjaw / Every Time I Die / letlive. / Brian Fallon / La Dispute 

Sum 41 / Anti-Flag / The King Blues / The Story So Far / Modern Baseball

Decent enough lockup for me. Although Saturday other than Brian Fallon would be unbelievable. First day I would definately head in for Kvelertak and possibly Mastodon depending on other headliners. Crossfaith I'd probably catch on main as wouldn't be surprised if they are the act who do both (although King Blues I wouldn't be surprised at either). Last day don't think I'd bother with any bands. Maybe Modern Baseball. I'd move Letlive, King Blues and Crossfaith all up a slot as they are arguably bigger than the bands they are below.

That top 4 Sunday is great, won't be that good though.

Yeah but if it the start of booking the same bands for the stage each year then it will become boring

Also that Saturday, but I must say that letlive. would probably be above ETID. letlive. played 3rd in 2014 whilst ETID played 4th. Would be happy with Mastodon, Deafheaven, The Story So Far and Modern Baseball as well

[SOAD]

I reckon this would be quite a cool way to go with the Pit this year:

Sum 41
Alkaline Trio
The King Blues
Marmozets
Capdown
Ignite

Billy Talent
Mclusky
Letlive
The Front Bottoms (Doing both Main and The Pit)
Modern Baseball
Kevin Devine & The Goddamn Band

Mastodon
The Dillinger Escape Plan
Against Me!
Sikth
La Dispute
Blood Command

That, especially the top would give a clash headache, I don't mind Against Me! but not such an issue.

As much as I'd love it I can't see Sum 41 headlining lock up when they've sold out the Forum & Albert Hall on their current tour and sold fairly quickly too 

[dentalplan]

It's not like any of last year's headliners were minnows. They could definitely still do it.
