California's Social Distortion will bring their fearsome live show to Reading on Friday night before heading to Leeds for Saturday night. Florida's Less Than Jake headline Reading on Sunday night and Leeds on Friday night.
Other acts confirmed for the Lock Up Stage include; Anti-Flag, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, Gallows, Turbonegro, Bouncing Souls, A Wilhelm Scream along with Every Time I Die, Saves The Day, Trash Talk, Touche Amore, Good Riddance, The Skints, Ceremony, Polar Bear Club, Random Hand, This Is Hell, Star Fucking Hipsters, The Flatliners, Dead To Me, Apologies I Have None and Pettybone.
Speaking about the line-up, BBC Radio 1’s Mike Davies, presenter of the Punk Show, said: “Having an incredible Punk Rock line-up every summer has become a standard for the Lock Up Stage... and this year is no different. Old favourites, new heroes and even surprise guests... we have it all and it will be one hell of a festival.”
More acts have been confirmed for the Reading and Leeds Festival Dance Stage. Modestep, Grimes and DJ Zinc will join the already confirmed Metronomy, Katy B, Azealia Banks and Jaguar Skills.
On top of all this, Los Campesinos have been added to the Main Stage line-up!
