Okay - if Trio was playing that would be the best line up in history.

Why don't shows like that ever hit the states. Warped Tour has been a little weak the past few years and Bamboozle just blew.

Hmmmm - first Angels show? Should be interesting.

god i wish i were british for that day

[the sob]

jesus crist, that is a serious lineup

[IcedOpethBlind]

looks really good.

[Signals Corrupted]

is angels and airwaves going to perform, or just like, pose onstage and stuff?

[fluke182]

Very interesting, although I don't like a lot of bands (Not that it would matter as I am not in the UK). Is that a Crazy Town album cover I see on Bomb Out of Bibles avatar?

It'll probably just be Tom standing on stage describing the music.

[Drew Beringer]

It'll probably just be Tom standing on stage describing the music.

Haha, I hope they release some music before they play, but I'm probably just getting my hopes up.

That is the most crazily amazing line-up I've ever seen! Angels and Airwaves!!!

For the first time in my life I'm pleased to be English. I am SO gonna be there!!! :D

[PrivateEye]

Last years give it a name sucked ass, but this is shaping up pretty nicely. Whats even better is that the following wkd im coming over to see you lot at Bamboozle. Cant wait.

alos, yes i think that is a crazy town avatar. he HAS to be taking the piss, right??

[punkrockcasual]

That's pretty sweet.

[Salomonbz90]

The 2nd line-up looks better than the 1st. I just wanna see Taking Back Sunday and Silverstein..o ya and Angels and Airwaves too

[jimmyeatblink]

yay say anything come to the uk :)

[DeadPoetic]

Huuumm. I bet it'll be expensive, and I won't be able to get there anyway. Never mind, I've seen all of the bands I'd want to go for anyway, bar Say Anything and Paramore.

[xearlynovemberx]

That's pretty sweet.

ur avatar is pretty sweet i just bought toy story 2 on dvd

anyway if i lived anywhere close to where this is taking place id be all over it like 2 chicks on 1 rich guy hahha

has say anything actually ever played a show? that might be another first if they dont cancel...

[com(?)]

Tickets are currently at £55. But shit, the Bled!

[anothernobody]

Please please let Say Anything actually play, I'm going for them. Here is an official statement from GIAN, has prices etc, may be interesting to some i submitted it as news..

Tickets are £55.00 adv stbf for weekend passes and £28.50 adv stbf for single days. Earls Court is an all standing gig and the M.E.N is its usual layout. There are 13 bands per day over 2 stages and the lack of UK acts is due mainly to the fact that most of the bands I chased actually had tours up to and before in place already or other commitments. Bands like CLASSIC CASE, PARAMORE, MEN WOMEN AND CHILDREN, SAY ANYTHING AND THE HONORARY TITLE usually don’t get the option to come to the UK due to tour financial issues so we are using GIAN as a tool to bring these bands over on merit of music and what I like listening to and nothing else! I appreciate you can’t please everyone but take into account how many people bitch that we don’t have bamboozle/skate n surf/warped or a festival like it and then when one is delivered which is as close as we can possibly get due to the enormous costs involved of getting the bands over to play exclusively for 2 dates in venues that are big enough to house the event itself what the hell else can be done? On the line up issues I couldn’t care less what people think, I really think it’s tight and am super excited about it. Ticket price is cheap considering the bands playing (their expenses just to get here alone are huge) the venues they are in and the fact we have no sponsorship unlike many of the U.S. festivals have to pay for all their production etc. Anyway I hope this puts things into perspective and to those that come I really hope it lives up to your expectations. Also one last thing but very important, both these venues are really adapted to rock shows and there will be NO issues regarding catering, water, soft drinks etc I can assure you we are all over this like a fat kid on a cup cake! Anyway that’s all I have to say.

It beats the pants off of Bamboozle

[Chemical Love]

Good line up, I wish I could make it.

Is this a joke? I've seen Say Anything play...5 times now.

[IAPAI]

Dammit.. That's fucking expensive.. Especially considering the plane ticket I'd have to buy to get over there to see it... I'm hoping my exam schedule won't fuck me over though.. That would be the best trip/concert ever.

[altitude2k]

last years give it a name was the worst gig/festival that i have ever been to. at least they've changed the venue to earls court, but i certainly won't be there.

[Brandn3w]

these bands seem like a lot of possible bamboozle-ish bands....


could angels and airwaves be a secret band/tba band to play bamboozle?

He was being sarcastic.

But back to GIAN I'm actually seriously considering going.

[Cocky Caucasion]

please tell me you guys are kidding! This line up looks terrible.

[nufan475]

I'm there!

[exthuse]

Erm, it's not that expensive over here. I'll probably go but train fares fuck me over.

[myfirstpunksong]

Definitely going, for Angels And Airwaves alone. Have tickets gone on sale yet?
