Standard festival prices but not London prices 

 

Whilst I admire that for once a beer has been marketed as 'session' when it is actually a sessionable strenght, 3.8% will not interest me, hoping for a 5.5+% IPA

There will be stronger beers to suit all tastes in the ale tent.

Ah lovely, do you know if there is a map for the fest site yet? I checked the app and it says it's not available yet

Last I heard beer tent was to the right of the main stage, but that may have changed

Ooooo wasn't aware there was a tram strike, that's annoying, what's the best way/cheapist way to get out to the festival site without trams then?

They’re supposed to be using a reduced tram service and replacement busses. Also plenty of busses go past Hillsborough to get to the city centre. 

 

If you are feeling energetic probably about a 45-60 minute walk

Didn't get a ticket for actual tramlines but looking forward to Great Gatsby on Friday, can't wait to see Red Rum Club and The Pale White, and then Plug most of the day on Saturday, some decent acts. Sure I'll end up in Leadmill for the nights though.

Absolutely fantastic festival this year. Probably my favourite ever Tramlines and seems to have been a huge success.

Early bird next year £39.50 not bad, sold out in under a minute looks like this festival is really going to take off after this year

[Pigeon Detective]

Yeah managed to get one at that price. I hope so, it was genuinely brilliant. 

[JBarbour]

It was really great this year. Managed to do a bit of the fringe on Friday evening and late on Saturday. Nice to see it hasn't made the city any quieter as well.

See where they take it next year. Think it will be a different beast next year.

As in a bigger, “better” line up ?

Different.

I went to one of the fringe events at the City Hall on Saturday to see Svalbard. If you like angry, political hardcore then check them out.

I hope they don't change much - maybe a bit more diversity on the main stage. But i thought it had something for everyone with the 3 other stages. Saw some great stuff on the Library/Leadmill stage

We didn't really know what to expect and thoroughly enjoyed it. Missed out on the cheap early bird tickets though

Although £5 for a pint was a bit steep!

Only went to the fringe this year, sold our weekend tickets to a friend cause we needed the cash! But seems like it’s been a massive success, which is great. And, was nice to see how they honoured Sarah. Such a wonderful lady, very sad news. But I think she would be thrilled with this year’s festival, such a positive thing for the city. 

[The Clearest Blue]

Was a bit disappointed with it really, felt it had lost a lot of its identify by all being crowded into one site. Didn't help that the lineup this year didn't align with my tastes, last year we saw roughly 6 bands a day, this year we saw about 3. £6 for the only decent beer on site wasn't great either, combined with the cost of trekking from Bristol to Sheffield and accommodation costs I think I will be giving this a miss next year unless the lineup is top notch.

Really enjoyed it. My highlight was The Big Moon. Love that band!
