JBarbour Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) Line up released and new look site. Exclusively outdoor! All Saints / The Libertines / Toots and the Maytals The Coral / Metronomy / The Pharcyde / Twin Atlantic / We Are Scientists Akala / Alvarez Kings / Blaenavon / Bossy Love / Cabbage / Cate Le Bon / Don Letts / Estrons / Fizzy Blood / Goat Girl / Hot 8 Brass Band / Jalen N'Gonda / John Joseph Brill / Lucy Spraggan / Mike Hughes / M.O / Nadia Rose / Omar Souleyman / Sheffield's Sgt Pepper Project / Spring King / The Age of LUNA / The Magic Gang / The Wharves / Yorkston Thorne Khan Bit disappointed as love diving in the venues and discovering new acts. But they've made it no secret they wanted to change it into a paid festival. If venues offering up free music suppose they can't achieve that. Don't forget to suuport efestivals if you getting a ticket.

justanothername Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) Happy about Libs but Tramluybes website has got them down for the Wednesday which is a bit odd. Looks like they're treating as it's own headline show but since I don't care for the rest of the line up I'm happy with that. Wish it was Saturday as City Hall always get some great Math/Post Hardcore/Emo stuff on the Sat. Also wonder who the other headliners are as it doesn't look like it'll be All Saints & Toots . Weyll just have to see after Truck I guess Edited February 6, 2017 by justanothername Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyf Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Awesome start so far, the Wednesday thing on the site could be a typo or just a place holder until they confirm the day but I'm not sure. Going always a good time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Libertines have been updated on the site to Friday. This year the festival is "exclusively outdoor event, spanning three of Sheffield’s best park spaces" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneoftherest Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Last I heard, All Saints weren't the headliner and neither were Toots, still think they're eyeing up some more current urban acts to head up the Saturday on Ponderosa and Sunday on Dev Green, it's being alternated so if it's hip hop/grime/rnb/whatever on main stage, it'll be indie on Dev Green and vice versa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But The Libertines playing Fri, while both All Saints and Toots down as playing Sat. Maybe a "co-headliner" Devonshire Green is not as clear. Playing the stage though... We Are Scientists, The Coral, The Pharcyde, Cabbage, Estrons, Bossy Love and Fizzy Blood.The Coral could head Sunday against a hip hop headliner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneoftherest Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Tramlines is a bit bizarre and sometimes has 6 headliners or something daft, The Coral are headlining Dev Green yeah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year the festival is "exclusively outdoor event, spanning three of Sheffield’s best park spaces" Fair on the press though the formatting of the line up on social media and the website doesn't make it clear and Friday is fine for me. Also making it 3 stages is dumb. Really dumb. Hope the free stages stay and stuff from City hall is still somewhere on those 3 stages but I doubt it 32 minutes ago, oneoftherest said: Last I heard, All Saints weren't the headliner and neither were Toots, still think they're eyeing up some more current urban acts to head up the Saturday on Ponderosa and Sunday on Dev Green, it's being alternated so if it's hip hop/grime/rnb/whatever on main stage, it'll be indie on Dev Green and vice versa Hey, know if we're still gonna get stuff like Rolo Tomassi, ASIWYFA and Basement accross the 3 stages or are they binning that this year?

Hate how they list acts on the site. They just need to do running orders and stages. Especially now the venues aren't involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon the venues will prob do their own thing. I can't see the venues sitting back and doing nothing while sheffield's busy weekend goes on around them. But it won't be part of the Tramlines brand by the looks of it, at the moment. Or maybe marketing ploy to get people to buy tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneoftherest Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Most of the venues will likely run fringe, Tramlines has always had weird billing, 2013 was a three day festival with one headline act (Lianne La Havas), 2014 had 4, 2015 had 3, 2016 had 5. I don't think they're pushing the exclusively outdoors thing to be honest, haven't answered questions on if the other venues are involved. JAN - I doubt you're gonna see much rock represented at Tramlines this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBarbour Posted February 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Be a real shame if the venues aren't involved. Maybe billed as after parties at the likes of o2, leadmill, Harley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think it's more sharing parent company / directors. They did a night/late/after parties ticket last year. Maybe they will do a separate ticket for the venues this year. I can't see the venues sitting it out and doing nothing when Sheffield has it's highest footfall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneoftherest Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 The rest of the venues will go fringe as most of the other bars have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffieldlady Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 It would be a crying shame for them to get rid of the fringe events and for the smaller venues not to be involved! I have brought my ticket for the weekend though. I only went to the fringe stuff last year, plus how can I miss All Saints? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRW5252 Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 Any ideas when the next announcement will be? Also, has it been confirmed whether the Libertines are the only headliners so far? Even with the current line up £46 is a bargain, two more headliners is incredible value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeon Detective Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 All Saints & Metronomy are the other main stage headliners. Loads more to be announced including the fringe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyf Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 There was an announcement a few days ago but it was just DJs. Tramlines tweeted a few hours ago that more announcements are coming very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderbus Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Seems a bit less to my taste each year this festival but i suspect that i am just longing for the time when it was a great place for discovering new bands in pubs........and free! Still a decent line up for the cost though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Saints and Toots are co-headliners on Saturday. The Sunday headliner is yet to be announced... Metronomy must be subs (but don't know that for sure) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
