The lock up stage looks terrible except for frank turner and flogging molly and a few other passable acts.
such a shame compared to some other years.
mind you, any band named “holy fuck” gets points in my book.
April 29th, 2008 11:24 am
haha yeah that made me laugh as well. To be honest I don’t really know many of the bands from the lockup but thats not the kind of music i’m into i guess! Thanks for the comment Dave and srsrly
April 29th, 2008 12:29 pm
No way! most of my favourite bands are playing the lock up stage! Thrice, MxPx, Less than Jake, Pennywise! =[ =[ =[ all i need now is a ticket

April 29th, 2008 1:48 pm

cheers for the comment! I love him as well!
May 2nd, 2008 3:56 pm
I think I will be at the Main Stage all Sunday so i will miss The Foals which Is a bummer. Id have liked to have seen CSS aswell but when you clash with The Cribs you have very little chance In my mind!
May 2nd, 2008 3:56 pm
But I cant have everything XD
May 2nd, 2008 4:43 pm
fair do’s. I would rather go and see CSS but its all personal opinion
May 3rd, 2008 10:00 am
its metallica for me
May 3rd, 2008 10:42 am
just to let people know you can now buy early entry permits direct from seetickets.com (instead of doing it through the leeds website) i just bought 2 and got my confirmation email straight away WOOO HOOO
May 3rd, 2008 11:09 am
thats awesome cheers for the info. A lot of my friends want them
May 5th, 2008 2:37 pm
rekon The Used might be there. they have recently announced some europe dates for this summer.REALLY HOPE THEY ARE!!
May 6th, 2008 4:25 pm
I have heard today from an extremly reliable source that The Last Shadow Puppets confirmed today. Dont like them myself but thought people may like to know.
I would like The Used to be there just to hear Pretty Handsome Awkward!
May 7th, 2008 7:29 am
you’ll just have to keep your fingers crossed! I looked on their myspace and there was no news.
May 8th, 2008 8:30 am
I think its gonna be disturbed who r the special guests on friday on the mainstage
May 8th, 2008 9:11 am
cheers. Where did you get the information from?
May 9th, 2008 6:36 am
I have never heard of Disturbed.
Im guessing they are heavy rock?
May 9th, 2008 7:12 am
i think it will be Mindless Self Indulgance and Story of The Year in that special guest slot on friday. Although i have also heard Disturbed and Down being mentioned. One of them may get 3rd slot on lock up but i duno. There’s always Billy Talent too which would be AMAZING!!
May 9th, 2008 2:06 pm
Mindless Self Indulgance are amazing! would love it to be them. Cheers for the comment
