Give It A Name 2008

[Benji]

(+44) and Angels & Airwaves doing opposite days again? Do they really find it that hard to get over themselves and just perform the same day?

[MalaCloudy Black]

2nd day looks like the best lineup, I wouldn't mind seeing Dizzee Rascal, Glassjaw, or Anti-Flag.

2nd day where? Don't they just alternate events each line up?

Ah yeah, either way, wouldn't mind seeing Rascal/Glassjaw/Anti-Flag.

[probablyoliver]

Oh my jesus. Seriously, the second string best be good, because that is a phenommenally shit line-up. With the last few months and next few months of music I was hoping for more Kill Kenada, Say Anything, Cartel, Sparta and Coheed.

[Nerf]

Anti Flag is the only band worth a shit on that lineup.

[IAceI]

They really just aren't. I like The Terror State a bit but there not even close to being the best on that sub-par list.

[Regia]

Damn my complete lack of money

Sum 41

+ 44

Daughtry

or

Angels and Airwaves

Anti - Flag

Lineup blows other than Glassjaw. Admittedly I've not heard Strike Anywhere. Soulja Boy though? Bit odd. And I heard Finch were playing

[IAceI]

I wanna go just for "Hollywood Cemetery" by Strike Anywhere. It's fantastic despite being like 90 seconds long.

[Steeb]

Bar Dizzee and Glassjaw, that's the worst line-up I've seen for anything, from memory.

[Cactus Drags]

Anyone want to hook me up with Strike Anywhere songs? >_>

I always take albums, even if I end up listening to like 3 tracks, I just like having the whole piece on my computer.

According to the organisers this line up is fake.

For those interested the main rumours going around the other alternative festivals is that Rage Metallica and probably the Verve will headline Reading/Leeds and Kiss, Slipknot and Lostprophets will be headlining Download. Not pleased about either to be honest.

Yeah, I was thinking this was fake after seeing it last night. Firstly, Anti-Flag wouldn't be that low on the line-up, and secondly, the company line says the 16th of January as the announcement, and those bands are nowhere to be found on either the website or the myspace.

If I had a ticket I'd gladly give you mine. But I don't.

Rage and Metallica are more Download style. They might not go down too well in the Reading/Leeds environment. The Verve are kinda boring also.
