I have a definite Indie / Guitar Band preference but would imagine the success of Dizzee Rascal may see something along those lines.

Not along the lines of Dizzee. A little bit different for Tramlines, still a crowd pleaser.
They fit in with the size of the Superstruct mid tier events.

With the huge success of 2021 what sort of level acts do you think we will be seeing ?
Similar size. Slightly different
-
Considering its a one off event over a number of days I still think it points to AM with a supporting line up.
-
Is too earlier for 2022 news yet? 😆
Festivals seem to be booking acts earlier on for next year.

any news ,clues ,ideas who is replacing ashcroft .fella
Not heard anything. Situations like this are different to pre booked acts with scheduled press releases.
A guess would be either another act that's played a Superstruct event recently or someone that's penciled in next year. Tramlines with Supergrass it was a case of both.

Edit: sounds like they will be ok for Tramlines.

I was looking into this yesterday- turns out they allowed people to be seen as "vaccinated" immediately after dose 1, plus they seemed to have a poorly ventilated big tent for dance music. But you're right about the pings though! I probably will be turning my contact tracing off for Latitude (not least because Bluetooth destroys my battery!)
Yeah, I considered just deleting or turning off the app and going to Tramlines but if cases do start spreading as a result of the event, they may just tell anyone that attended they have to isolate. So I can't take the risk of another 2 weeks off work when I've been on furlough for the past 6 months.
A number of other reasons I'm not that fussed this year is the line up is weak for my tastes and I'd imagine the queues are going to epic to get in when they are having to check everyone's covid status as well as tickets. It will be the first Tramlines I've missed, I may go to a few of the quieter fringe events/bars.

Going to be a fair old bottle neck in the middle intersection.
that mid section hasn't been too bad in the past. Previously was the passage between Library, Leadmill and Main, t'Other. Should be fine.
I've decided to turn down tickets this year. I can't afford time off work if get pinged. With over 30k in a field i think guaranteed to get pinged. A similar event in the Netherlands with 20k capacity per day, had to have a negative test but at least 1k have tested positive after the event.

T'Other Stage tent has gone up. Looks to be at opposite corner of the Park to usual so long walk from Main Stage.
Anyone (mainly @JBarbour) any idea what is going where the Tent usually goes ?
Also after looking forward to this now getting a bit nervous about the Covid case rises and being with 30,000. 😬

Correct but in the past you have been allowed to exit and re enter the site. I don’t think it’s very reasonable to essentially force everyone to have to purchase food inside the site
Just now, James360 said:I hope we can take certain things in, need to take snacks for the little one in. Can’t expect toddlers to eat rubbish all weekend…or can they? 🤔
It's a grey area. They can't legally deny someone, people have different dietary requirements and can't be forced to purchase from food stores. People with diabetes for example, they can't deny them taking in food and drink.

Will we still need to do all that considering that restrictions will have ended?
Pilot events taking place after 19th July will continue to build on the evidence already gathered by the Events Research Programme and trial the use of the NHS app for covid-status certification on a larger scale to inform how crowds can return to large events safely

If you can't prove you are negative with a test or had both jabs you might be stuffed unfortunately

Anyone seen anything on entry requirements regarding those with immunity? I may have missed it, I am currently COVID positive and come out of isolation Friday this week. I don’t have second vaccine and can’t do lateral flow (absolute shite I did 4 all negative) so will I need my positive confirmation? I’ve emailed tramlines but they never replied.
At entry, ticket holders (except children under 11) will be asked for proof of EITHER:
A negative COVID result from a lateral flow test taken within the previous 48 hours.
Two vaccination doses, with the second received at least 14 days before

Resale & map details
Can see the site has changed this year. the second stage has moved to the other side of the site, previous unused

I’m dumb. Was thinking the other ones they did before the new album.
They are the new "house band" for these mid-tier events it would seem, much like The Libs, Stereophonics and Noel before them.
-
I do agree with others that this line up is weak to average at best. I understand some of the struggles the festival and bookers may have faced putting it together and not knowing if it will/could go ahead.
I think going forward we'll get more of these levels of line ups at similar capacity events because of the shifts that have occurred in the music industry in the past year.
The under-card is lacking. Generally that's where these mid-tier events shine through with a strong under-card of up-and-coming acts.
Supergrass is a decent replacement considering the circumstances. They are the last band I seen live before COVID hit and they were great, that was in an academy venue though so not sure how they will translate outside, headlining. I believe Supergrass would of been pencilled in for next year.

Royal Blood probably wouldn't be doing this if they weren't signed up for 2020.
What you mean wouldn't be doing this? The original line up for 2020 was Brown, Catfish and Madness. It was only some/most of the under-card that got carried over for 2021.

Worse than that - it'll be "going out vs not going out" because of the masks or lack of them. I'll be wearing it on trains but expect to get abuse for it.
I think you're being over dramatic. It's a choice for people and what people feel comfortable with nothing more, nothing less.

Do you not know of any set name that has been lined up to replace him then?
No idea. The festival peoples found out when everyone else found out by the sounds of it. So they'll be awaiting on the booker sorting something out, if no one can be pulled in, they'll have to rearrange the current line up.

two questions, if you have any insight!
Were they expecting this? Ashcroft is claiming he told the festival 10 days ago? Yet they’ve been promoting him as headlining all last week? What’s the story there?
Also, not expecting any hints or anything. But do you know if they have a replacement or are looking to get one?
33 minutes ago, thetime said:If ashcroft is being truthful, haven't they had 10 days to sort a statement out. As he posted today, I'm presuming ashcroft was getting frustrated that he was still being advertised on the bill.
Or perhaps trying to finalise a new headliner, before revealing ashcroft had pulled.
No idea the politics of bookings myself.
He told his peoples not Tramlines peoples. So where the message got lost I'm not sure.
Ashcroft reasoning to pull out is a decent excuse but is lame, he's probably not ready for live shows or got an holiday booked. 😄
He’s hardly a anarchist and seems to have fundamentally misunderstanding what a pilot event is. He fancies himself as anti establishment, its trendy in these circles see Ian Brown.

They are all in the country and recording an album at the moment, I think 🤔. One can dream. It would break the bank though and unlikely. Maybe Timm can pull in a huge favour.

Foals or Idles be my pick, followed by Supergrass or Wolf Alice.
Tramlines very quiet on this.
Yeah, shit is hitting the fan. 😄
I feel for them, the stress of getting the event on, and now this.
Statements are being put together.

I did think they were going to struggle to keep the line up as is. Surprised its just a few acts so far. It's a big one to lose though.

Yeah I agree- if the plan is for events in the weeks after those test ones to not be allowed until results (and magically in time for reading) then they just need to say. The lack of communication is my biggest issue
What is confusing is attendees of new pilot events don't need to test after the event, so there will be no outcome. Unless they are being brutal and tracking hospitalisations. So there will be no further guidance for other events.
