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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pigeon Detective Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 2 hours ago, The Clearest Blue said: 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDHolford Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeon Detective Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Absolutely fantastic festival this year. Probably my favourite ever Tramlines and seems to have been a huge success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moams Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pigeon Detective Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 Yeah managed to get one at that price. I hope so, it was genuinely brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBarbour Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 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.

Andre91 Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i thought it had something for everyone with the 3 other stages. Saw some great stuff on the Library/Leadmill stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neato Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) 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! Edited July 25, 2018 by neato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffieldlady Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Clearest Blue Posted July 27, 2018 Report Share Posted July 27, 2018 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.

Wanderlei Posted August 2, 2018 Report Share Posted August 2, 2018 Really enjoyed it. My highlight was The Big Moon. Love that band! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
