https://accessaa.co.uk/superstruct-entertainment-believed-to-be-up-for-sale-this-month/ Will be interesting to see what sort of impact (if any) this has on Tramlines/Truck moving forward.

Tomorrow according to their Facebook page.

Just had this through via email ...

This is surely good news to hear for the locals that it'll be well looked after while ever the festival is located there. From what I've seen since last year's absolute washout the park has recovered pretty well. Of all the years we've attended it's never been as bad as it was last year and doubt it will be that bad again for while (cue this year being just as bad 😅).

Yeah that's actually a good point. We usually have the Saturday as our 'child-free' day but our 7-year-old daughter is coming with us this year as she's a massive Tom Grennan fan so it'll be a little different for us this year regardless.

We've got tickets as we are local and have always gone, but yeah, outside of these 3 the Saturday is probably one of the worst (if not the worst) that they've ever had. Going to need something pretty good to pull it back IMO. Friday line-up blinds the Saturday for me.

For reference, this was last years second announcement (ones in orange):

Paolo headlining Friday (BBC sub), Jamie T Saturday (Tom Grennan sub) and Snow Patrol Sunday (Human League sub). The Snuts, Example, Maximo Park, The View, The Charlatans, Miles Kane, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Yard Act and Soft Play also all playing.

From what I can find on Twitter, these were the ones sent out on bottles last year: Richard Ashcroft Kaiser Chiefs Courteeners Paul Heaton Blossoms Sugababes DMAs Which from looking at the poster, both special guests (The Zutons/McFly) were both obviously missing, plus a few other of the bigger names like Bloc Party.

They were, yeah.

The Mrs will be happy if that's true.

Good start!

Been listening to a bit of Suede this afternoon, they'd be a good addition to the line-up IMO.

That would go down well with the Wednesdayites in attendance! (myself included!)

or Tom Grennan?

Line up announcement 23/01 - 6pm

Shaun (lead singer) has left the Brothers, not sure it'll have the same impact but it'll be interesting nonetheless.

I saw a video doing the rounds on Twitter the other day of Ian Brown, as much as I'm a fan of his Roses stuff, I hope it's not him because he sounded absolutely horrendous.

Wow 😅 Definitely not selling those out.

Me and the other half said this last night, will struggle to sell out if it's anything above that, as popular as Milburn are in Sheffield/Yorkshire.

Confirmed.

They weren't too bad Saturday, but yesterday they were horrendous where we were stood. Anything down past the accessible viewing platform was swamp-like yesterday.

I said exactly the same to my other half yesterday, wouldn't be surprised if they had a year off, especially with the state of the field before I left yesterday. On the re-entry thing, agree that the locals would probably abuse it but for those who live further afield (as I do) I do think it's a pain in the arse not being allowed to go back in. Our Daughter wanted to go home around 5pm yesterday so I took her whilst my other half stayed, would have gone back in if I was allowed to to catch Kaisers and Paul Heaton.

We were caught up in that too last year, it was the sheer speed at which it got full which was frightening.
