He said it's a big announcement. So likely a headliner/sub headliner for the pit, So it'll be someone bigger than that

But they have only just reformed and I don't think they have ever toured the UK. Got a cult following and R&L bagging them for their first UK shows would be a great move.

They're still not really big enough, especially not to announce alone as a ''big band''

They're gonna say whoever they're announcing is big. It happens every time. Plus you can't really get a bigger Pit announcement than a headliner, which Clutch would be.

Sum-41 can't headline the Pit because the only day they're available is the only day that has a confirmed Pit headliner.

Nothing on the pit is going to be THAT big anyway. The largest it can be is  someone like architects.. (hope not)

Anyway if it's a headliner across from RHCP i hope it's shit. I don't want to have to deal with choice.

Sum 41 have nothing booked after 24th August, they can play any day.

He never said at the time, i remember a couple people bringing this up back then. He said on the Radio that he ''Will be announcing the pit stage headliner for the Saturday at Reading'' in the show tonight

I've just remembered it could well be Mastodon again. So far, every other festival date that they canned last year is being fulfilled this year and obviously the delay in announcing would be because they're at BOA. They could, however, play main stage instead though if they're not announced tonight.

architects, good shout !

Nah I think they'd wait until after Download to announce, if it was them.

Dillinger not headlining? Well that sucks. Hope its Converge but I doubt it and it will be Clutch instead

Won't be Converge. Playing Psycho Las Vegas that weekend. Good line up for that.

Good Shout, can definitely see them playing as Pit headliner or Main Stage, although i remember DPC saying no bands he booked for the last two years on the Pit will be returning, don't know if that would include them as they pulled out.

I thought so but apparently not as Carter has said that he announcing the 2nd Pit headliner today but then again it was never made clear if or if not Dillinger were headlining

I remember reading that Mastodon was an exclusive at BOA? Not sure if this is true or not and I'm not surprised by Converge not playing.

On another note, the new Moose Blood song he just played it brilliant. Would love to see them play this year.

Reckon they'll be in the next announcement. Album is coming out on the 5th of August so I can see it happening

      Tramlines 2026

      By sheffinghell · Posted

      I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city!

      I think people on a place like this, that clearly value live music more than most, don't. I'd rather an academy than an arena every day. But I could see a few people that care about "the gram" than the actual music wanting an arena experience even if it's a mid sized band.

      The single worst shout for any slot on any stage in the history of efests. Worse even than the Wursels or The Wombles.    Unlikely I’d be there, but okay with the other two. Boy George is a class act, plus he could DJ in Block 9

      Do people want an arena experience though? Especially for sub par bands. Rather a band do more nights at an independent venue for more money than 1 big one.
