Give It A Name 2009 is go!

Taking Back Sunday and Enter Shikari have signed up to headline this year's Give It A Name festival.

The two-day, two-city bash will take place over three days in two venues. Taking Back Sunday will headline Manchester Academy April 18 and London's Brixton Academy April 19, while Enter Shikari will headline Brixton Academy April 17 and Manchester Academy April 19.

"Here at camp Taking Back Sunday, we're all very excited to be a part of the Give It A Name festival," says TBS frontman Adam Lazzara. "Expect fire, cannons and dragons!"

Enter Shikari are currently wrapping up production on their follow-up to 2007's Take To The Skies with producer Andy Gray.

"We've just played some small shows in Europe and played a handful of new songs," says frontman Rou Reynolds. "We're really anxious to get the new stuff out there. These shows are going to be a lot of fun."
