I’m expecting Pierce The Veil and The Story So Far to be there. 

And Zebrahead. Think that seems to be a tradition now

[Steve1000]

What time are they announcing it?

I reckon it'll be ATL btw, assuming the site changes don't mean they're expanding the size of the bands they get,

[Jericode]

If it's in Kerrang it'll likely be in the digital issue if they're still doing it so could well have it early.

[Luke Routledge]

Remember a few years ago someone who worked at a supermarket managed to upload it really early

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

The digital version comes out around half midnight on pocket mag. Sometimes it won't be out til morning if it has embargoed info on in it though.

[MattysMilk]

Soooooo the digital Version?

[Jericode]

Marmozets, The Wonder Years and Palaye Royale are all in the description for the issue but it doesn't specify why in the blurb, and chance they accompany the headliner as part of the announcement?

I mean all of them seem like they would play lol

Seen this on Twitter. Looks guessing this could be it and urm yeah guess that is a bit disappointing.

Swear it's getting worse and worse each year like erghhhh ATL headlining again cmon it's even at a bigger site now 

[LosingMyEdge]

I think that's fairly good for a first announcement, surprised at the lack of big ska punk band, presuming Mad Caddies won't be so far up.

I think there is something for everyone in that announcement and it is about 1/10th of the whole line up

It's good a part from the headliner imo and not too keen on Waterparks either.

[Jericode]

New Found Glory are a cool surprise, wasn't expecting that.

I don't mind it being ATL, it just seems uninspired.

[Arun1910]

I'm not a fan of any of these bands at all... for once.

Slam Dunk 2015 will forever be my favourite lineup.

[Andre91]

NOFX is an awesome surprise! Really happy with them, NFG and Gallows out of that list. That's a tiny portion of the lineup so I wouldn't get too hung up on it. ATL headlining is great because it means I'm free to go and see another headliner without worrying about the clash with the big headliner  

[gary1979666]

NOFX was a nice addition for me.  Can see them headlining the Fireball stage with Mad Caddies somewhere below.  Pretty decent first announcement for me - need to sort out childcare and I'll be getting a ticket.

This.  The problem I've always had at SD is that there's about 3 or 4 headliners that I want to see - so an average one makes the decision a lot easier.

[eFestivals]

same line-up as every other year, isn't it?

[Steve1000]

Decent start that.

Not at all.....it's just most of the bands sound the same!

[thewayiam]

Yeah nothing pulling me in for that really. 

I'd see NFG and NOFX if there was other interests there.

[DomDom1984]

Outside of the headliner, I'd take that. And that's a fairly substantial "outside of..." which means I'd hope for two headliners clashing, and one of them being good.

[foolee]

I think this is a pretty good start and there's alot more to come. When you look at what last years first announcement was compared to this year and the bands that got announced after the headliner there were some big bands that got announced so think it'll only improve too. My girlfriend will be very pleased!

Jimmy Eat World, Taking Back Sunday, Sleeping With Sirens, State Champs, Four Year Strong & Trash Boat. 

All Time Low, NOFX, New Found Glory, Gallows, Mad Caddies, Silverstein, Story of the Year, Waterparks.

[Steve1000]

Load of past-it's tbh. Could be why people seem less happy with this announcement.
