Can't see a world in which Pinkpantheress headlines in 2024.

Have Amyl and The Sniffers been announced for this?

There's a reason they've dragged their heels with this one... Media team completely in fear of the almighty backlash once the lineup is released. Let's just say anyone expecting a kick-on from Sam Fender, Kasabian and Madness is in for a rude awakening - especially considering the increasing price point and cost-of-living crisis.

Any inside info?

Yeah Yeah Yeahs headline?

FINAL PREDICTION:

Sunday looking not half bad.

Sheffield? Liverpool? Nottingham?

I do enjoy the Reytons music and they certainly have made some great tunes (only a couple of which are direct rip-offs of Arctic Monkeys...) but a 44-year old Jonny Yerrell singing about being a rebellious teen really is just a bit sad...

No but Dizzee is a completely different kettle of fish to Rag N Bone man who you also mentioned. I just don't see Tom Grennan as anything other than a T'Other Stage headline, as a Becky Hill sort of act.

Only really IDLES in terms of high up the bill and I would say not as heavy as likes of Broco

Jamiroquai seems like an obvious choice given the fact Tramlines and Victorious share at least 2 headliners, but I can't see where he fits in... Think Paul Heaton pretty nailed on for a spot on the bill, same with Franz Ferdinand. Noel seems unlikely to me, and Jamie T had obviously been suggested to me by a decent source already. Tom Grennan doesn't really fit the usually sub act, usually more indie band style - think it will be Bloc Party.

With regards to Milburn, it is worth noting lead guitarist Tom Rowley is free across the weekend due to a break in Arctic Monkeys tour dates...

But they represent a very cheap option for SS, looks good on the poster and will attract a large crowd. Headlines R&L only 7 years ago, whether their performances are good is a different issue...

I would say virtually 0. Truck is obviously now 80% twinned with essentially Tramlines & Victorious, and so the chance of heavy acts being booked across these fests is now very low.

Sub.

FRIDAY: Dermot Kennedy, Franz Ferdinand, Milburn SATURDAY: Jamie T, Bloc Party, Anne-Marie SUNDAY: The Libertines, Paul Heaton, Maximo Park About right.

Fender was up and coming. Blossoms are on the decline in terms of commercial popularity anyway, none of their albums have reached the commercial success of their first.

There's not many around to headline mid-size fests this year, most looking at playing their own gigs or sub slots at RandL, TRNSMT even IOW. As a result, Superstruct are reaching lower to find their headline acts - this is the broad information I have been told from a very reliable source. So lineup will not be out for a while and the quality may not match that of previous years.

Tramlines social accs getting stick for lack of lineup... Will be some disappointed people from what I've heard.

Wait 10 mins and RandL will post the lineup (hopefully with some more names)

10 acts?

Okay.

Heard Jamie T.
