Returning once again for 2012, Nottingham’s Hit The Deck Festival looks to be a brilliant day with a line-up of many of today’s established and up-and-coming rock and punk acts, with appearances from the likes of Kids In Glass Houses, Cancer Bats, Deaf Havana, Lower Than Atlantis and more:

You can download a full timetable of announced set times to print off right here.

NOTE: Since the line-up announcement, both Every Avenue (replaced by Rise To Remain) and I Am The Avalanche have sadly been forced to cancel and will no longer be playing. The Dangerous Summer have also cancelled all UK dates, including their set at the festival.

NOTE: The band The Black Youth are heavily rumoured to be While She Sleeps, due to merch under the same name and lyrics in their song ‘Be(lie)ve’ stating “We are the black youth”.

NOTE: Very special guests will be announced on the day, though rumours are strongly pointing towards Young Guns. No official evidence is available however to prove so.
