Tramlines is run by Sheffield venues. Truck and Y Not are now part of the Global Live/Festivals and Broadwick Live portfolios But Y Not / Truck / Tramlines will be sharing the odd act!

McCor Posted February 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 I can see The Libertines doing it. They are big in terms of popularity, but not too big to turn down a festival of this size. Small for them, but a huge headliner for Truck. Courteeners also a possibility? Who knows, just have to wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, just have to wait! The Libs are way too big for truck, they headlined reading only 2 years ago, no way will they agree to headline truck, or that truck can even afford them. My money is on Frank Turne, he headlined Wood Festival a few years ago who's run by the guys who run Truck and apparently still gets on really well with them. Another outsider could be the Kaiser Chiefs, doing a big arena tour and free around that weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf the libertines rely on their old success and their reading crowd was a lot smaller than most of the other Reading headliners. If it is true and Truck have booked a bigger headliner than expected I could see them throwing money and potentially being able to attract the libertines especially with tickets being more expensive... We'll have to see come next monday though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeddingatReading Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 It will not be the Libertines! If it is I promise to never post on here again. I'm confident Libs will not do it. If Truck are going for the typical Libertines crowd they'd book someone like Courteeners who would be a lot cheaper and probably go down better as they're a lot more relevant. Nobody's mentioned The Kooks yet, they're going on a big tour and would perfect headliner size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCor Posted February 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Whoever it is, I'm putting Blossoms as a sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 I imagine Blossoms could headline to be honest. Something like them Jake Bugg and Franz Ferdinand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree that libs are too big as much as I would love them to play. The Kooks, not a bad shout there. Bastille? thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joepeace09 Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Im guessing at Truck, Ynot and Tramlines to announce the Libertines on Monday and Tuesday. Tramlines in paticular gave a hint at them through facebook/twitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonday81 Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Do we think just one headliner tomorrow or 2? Hoping for at least one of Stereophonics, Frank Turner or Prodigy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or those festivals are trying to make a statement and take punters away from Reading and Leeds? Especially when there lineups are having more and more hip hop and less indie bands.

They were chucking out Manics, Catfish, Kodlaline and Dizzee last year. I admit Y Not had Noel but he's the only one relative in size for me. Not sure why they would follow Noel G's route when they've already played above his level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
