Gallows, Alkaline Trio, Cancer Bats, Less Than Jake and Thrice are among artists confirmed for this year's Lock-Up Stage at the Reading and Leeds Festival, which takes places on August 22-24.
With a history of inciting some of the largest pits of the weekend - the Lock-Up Stage is always a festival highlight.
"We played last year and it felt like the pinnacle of our career - playing Reading and playing a stage with so many good bands," Gallows guitarist Laurent Barnard tells K!. "To be asked back again to headline is amazing! I remember that last year there was a sound limit on the stage - but the crowd was louder than we were! It was the best feeling ever and was one of those moments where you realise that all the hassle of touring and stress is worth it!"
Other bands set to perform on the Lock-Up stage include Pennywise, Goldfinger, The Unseen, Flogging Molly, MxPx, Set Your Goals, King Blues, Fucked Up, The Gaslight Anthem and Random Hand. Other bands set to appear at the Reading and Leeds Festival include Alexisonfire and The Automatic - who join Metallica, Slipknot, Rage Against The Machine and Biffy Clyro.
