Headliners The Mighty Mighty Bosstones and Descendants will be joined by London ska punk outfit The King Blues, LA's finest The Bronx, Flogging Molly and many more names for one of the liveliest line-ups this summer.

There are so many great groups around and I truly believe that we have managed to get 24 of the best bands possible to play on the Lock Up Stage. It's guaranteed to be the best weekend of the summer."
