Reading And Leeds Lock Up Line Up and Analysis

Last week the line up for the Reading and Leeds lock up tent was revealed. The lock up tent acts as a bastion of punk rock at the festival (which is headlined by My Chemical Romance, The Strokes/Pulp and Muse this year) and this years line up does not disappoint. 

Reading Saturday/Leeds Sunday

  • Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The King Blues, The Bronx, Capdown, Leftover Crack, Comeback Kid, Boysetsfire, Street Dogs, Teenage Bottlerocket, Title Fight, Sharks

Reading Sunday/Leeds Friday

  • Descendents, Flogging Molly, Face to Face, Hot Water Music, Bedouin Soundclash, Off, The Black Pacific, The Menzingers, Your Demise, Spycatcher, Mouthwash 

I’m looking forward to the festival a hell of a lot more now with this announcement, especially The Mighty Mighty Bosstones The Bronx, Teenage Bottlerocket, Flogging Molly and Hot Water Music. I also intend to catch Title Fight, Capdown, Comeback kid, Menzingers and possibly a few of the others bar clashes on the other stages.

For many the Lock Up announcement has renewed their faith in the festival, despite missing bands that were thought to be certain (Dropkick Murphys and Bouncing Souls anyone?) The Descendents are a huge pull due to their lack of touring recently and a good number of excellent punk and ska bands.

Apologies for the late upload, have been swamped with work this week.
