The lack of headliners I mentioned has just shone through with the Kendal Calling line up. There is next to no one new or inspiring around this year. Blue Dot has done a decent job scraping something together.
Superstruct has more or less acquired all remaining shares in festivals they invested in. So get ready for cost cutting and samey line ups for a few years.

Not too long now.

When Y Not went independent from Global/Broadwick and never got acquired by Super it borrowed cash from Global. I'd imagine that cash has never been repaid due to bad years with weather and then COVID.
So a deal been struck with Super
Y Not already shares a third-party booker with Tramlines and Victorious, as well as staffing. So Super can probably make it more cost effective.

Any news on this/victorious etc… announcing anything before Christmas?
Tramlines unlikely
Not sure about Victorious. They more likely as they don't tend to do a huge first drop

Last I heard they trying for no repeat headliners. Not forgetting they still putting the line up together.

Do you think it's a good booking or not?
Average. Typical mid-tier festival / Tramlines act.

Has anyone guessed the one headliner correct yet ?
Not looked at guesses. It's too early to be giving out hints

Any clue if the Sunday 'family themed' headliner is the one tied down, almost tied down or still work to do.
im assuming it's Heaton & Abbott, unless they've invited Supergrass to stink up the main stage again
No idea on the postioning of acts

Are people struggling this year. Thought it was odd Neighbourhood had Heaton & Abbott as a header
A lot of acts on the scene next year seem to be choosing tours or the big promoters tying them down.
-
One headliner in the bag. One other headliner more or less done deal. Last headliner still some work to do.
They'll more likely wait to mid Jan at the earliest. They could do a part announcement pre-christmas, but I doubt it. Not generally the way they handle it.
I think ticket sales have gone fairly well so they'll be no rush
-
Will be a lot of announcements in Jan and Feb.
At least a handful of festivals are still awaiting their 2nd and 3rd headliners to confirm.

I recall them going much later in 2020 was like Jan/Feb before we got first announcement. Maybe this year will be similar?
Yes most likely

stadium not park. there's been a new festival applying for the park called cosmic though for early june. I'm not too sure, so many rumours going about that its hard to tell whats real. they are definitely doing something though
The original plan and SJM licence was for AM to play the Park not stadium.
SJM continued their application the following year for an event called COSMIC. Then COVID.
the latest approved application makes no mention of COSMIC.
So, it's anyone's guess at the moment, but the odds are still AM until they announce otherwise.

June 2nd and 3rd... The same dates when plans are approved for new festival COSMIC also in Hillsborough Park. (https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/sheffield-getting-new-music-festival-21344577) Run by SGM, who closely tied with AM...
Are AM playing COSMIC, or is COSMIC just a front for AM gig?
There is a timeline to clear up:
1st Application - Plans for AM gigs at Hillsborough PARK. The band changed their plans and went on an autumn/winter arena tour.
2nd Application - An event called COSMIC by SJM. Still an open licence and application for Hillsborough park
3rd Application - June 2023 are suggested dates, no mention of COSMIC on the application. Licence and application approved by the council.
The original plans for these gigs was always AM. So there is a very good chance it's still AM for Hillsborough Park, otherwise SJM could host a festival similar to Tramlines. Although, not sure what the benefit to SJM would be to copycat Tramlines locally. It makes more sense they have a local act/s lined up.

Am wondering if FR will be involved in the production side of things, as they do for all other LN 'owned' festivals.
The Boomtown investment is joint venture with LN and SJM.
45%

That’d be too good an opportunity for them to pass up.
Surely they’ll be doing everything they can to secure themThey couldn't even secure a Jarvis solo set when he been touring for multiple years so I wouldn't be so sure. Tramlines festival will hold no sentimental value to Pulp

Pulp reforming and doing gigs next year.
After all the AM speculation for Hillsborough, could Pulp steal the shows 😄

Is there a complete guide to fringe this year? I'm guessing there isn't but there is always some decent stuff on in the city centre and I'm guessing it's all unofficial now.
Seen that Network has got a solid metal line up on the Sunday but not much for the rest of the week (seeing Phoebe Bridgers on the Sat but it'd be nice to have something on the Friday).
