Do you know stuff or just warning him?

However... there's still lots to be announced and itd be naive to write it off without knowing further info 'RE lineup/ placements/ stages and day splits.

Wait until the full line-up is out before saying That, rookie mistake :ph34r:

Yeah guess your right, I’m hoping the headliners of the other stages aren’t on that announcement so I’ll have someone to see last thing each night (other than Craigy D, I’ll be all o er that of course).

Very happy with that. Shame Chic aren't there though.

Been wanting catch Noel and Stereophonics at a festival.  I like Jake Bugg as well (despite him being disliked on this forum). Blossoms are a bit overrated imo but do have a couple of tunes. Lots of good up and coming bands on the undercard as well.

For £30 it is outstanding. More to be added to line up as well and hopefully a few good comics.

And why shouldn’t it, for the price it is very decent, my only issue is that it currently lacks much diversity so hopefuly that will change 

Diversity in terms of music genre? Its got a decent range in my opinion. Mixture of rock and RnB/hip hop. Just as diverse as previous Tramlines line ups.

Could AM be doing an outdoor show at Hillsborough around the time of Tramlines? Using the same stage/setup but billing it as a separate event? 

I suspect that the current gap in AM's tour between 13th Jul - 8th Aug will be for a run of dates in the US.

that'd be a bit cheeky to 'nick' their infrastructure if tramlines had asked them to play and they'd turned the down (which supposedly happened).

If that has happened then which headliner are we saying was bought in to replace them? Assuming it was Craig David

They were never confirmed, so cant be "replaced" 

be the same as saying Fall Out Boy replaced Foo Fighters at Reading/Leeds

Replaced was probably the wrong wording. I was going in the assumption they probably only asked Craig David due to being snubbed by Arctics but true, the only difference being Craig David is probably the right size to headline Tramlines buy Fall Out Boy is no way big enough to headline Leeds/Reading outright.

@JBarbour Do you know if they are having the after parties again like last year?

The last time I spoke to them about that they said they were still sorting that out (if I've remembered correctly).

I'd guess the "official" afterparty will be Leadmill. Details will prob come with the next batch of acts. 

Not forgetting they are trying to become more about a one site festival rather than scattered around the city. Making it more attractive for Global to buy! :P

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
