"'Give it a name' festival"

The curiously named festival that was long-rumoured has finally been announced on a number of the participating band's websites.

The festival which radio 1 say aims to bring together some of today's greatest rock acts to one big gig is to be held in London on the 2nd of May.

The bands that are currently confirmed include:
Funeral For a Friend and Finch who are said to be headlining.

as well as:
Rise Against
Alexisonfire
Lucky Nine
Say Anything
Fightstar
Emanuelle
Mae

and many more to be announced.

Brand New are also strongly rumoured for a top slot, and although formally unannounced they appear in the listings on Alexisonfire's website, which may be a telltale hint.

Tickets are on sale already at £25 a piece, plus a small booking fee if you're ordering online.

if you're interested in the upcoming festival discuss rumours or post your "OMG"'s here.

Looks like Brand New won't be there. The Funeral For A Friend site has the final lineup is confirmed and that's the one which doesn't include Brand New.

Let's hope there at Reading.

Saw them last night with Cry For Silence and Hollywood Ending and they did actually sound quite good. I wasn't sure what to expect, but now I'd gladly see them again.

Go die. Painfully. Any line up inscluding Rise Against is brilliant. Whether or not the rest of it is filled with crap, having Rise Against instantly makes it brilliant.

I agree. I won't bother with 'Elliott are emo, but not like these retards', but still.

What a crap line up.

Rise Against... That's the only reason i'm going to be honest. Alexisonfire, Finch and FFAF are OK though.
