ANTI FLAG ANNOUNCED FOR LOCK UP STAGE
You decide their set...get voting now.
In addition to their already announced set on the Main Stage on Friday 22nd at Reading and Saturday 23rd at Leeds, ANTI FLAG will also play The Lock-Up Stage on the same day before headline sets from Pennywise and Less Than Jake. But, that’s not all. This very special Anti-Flag show will have a set list decided by the fans. This is sure to be a highlight of the festival for all fans of the band and for the band themselves, as they explain.
 
"Being able to play the main stage at Reading and Leeds and bring the Anti-Flag sense of community to the main field is pretty fucking cool, but to get to do a second show in the Lock-Up tent the same day, allowing the community to pick the setlist we play......well, it doesn't get much better. We want everyone to go to pickrset.com and suggest away. We're expecting some gems we've not played in a long time to make it to the Lock-Up tent."
