Whilst it is a shame they've thrown all the independent venue aspects of the festival away, they seem to be at least trying to make Hillsborough park relatively decent. I like how the Leadmill are getting their own stage, and can see acts such as Milburn and Reverend getting a slot there even though they both do nothing for me. 

I can remember the "main stage" of previous tramlines being awful, whilst it is a cheap festival it looked like a joke. Maybe this makes it much better.

So obviously we knew AM were a definite no anyway. Who do we reckon could headline this year? Noel Gallagher maybe.

Haven't been for a while. Take the hints 

I don't want them to play. I'll be disappointed if they do.

I'd expect Noel Gallagher, Courteeners, Two Door Cinema Club, will be knocking around. Maybe Snow Patrol?

Two Door is a Community UK Exclusive for this year

What about The Vaccines, or The wombats?

Wombats don't seem to be doing any fests this year. Vaccines I would say are unlikely too, would be more likely for R&L

[AM0114]

Is there anyone out of the following who you think are unlikely to headline/play tramlines; peace, circa waves, the kooks, Jamie t, blossoms, jake bugg, the 1975, liam Gallagher, Noel Gallagher, nothing but thieves and glass animals?

Depends how big they are willing to go on their 10th year. I personally would like someone like Slaves to be there. I think they’d appeal to the kind of crowd that are buying tickets (the crowd who are hoping for AM to be there)

I still think Wombats will appear somewhere, they are bringing a new album out so maybe as a festival exclusive but this would unlikely be Tramlines. I still think Vaccines are possible they could do both Leeds/Reading and Tramlines, don't think the fact Leeds and Sheffield being close could affect this although I could be wrong. 

[AAlex]

Wombats arent doing any others so far because they're touring with Weezer/Pixies in the US until mid July... so would be back for this!

Christ, for my personal tastes, I pray it’s not the Wombats or Vaccines

I was just going for who's around at the moment. For the size of Tramlines I'm hoping for someone like Feeder but we shall find out next week.

[The Clearest Blue]

Well if you consider last year they had the Libertines and Primal Scream, two acts that although aren’t going up in their stock, have previously subbed the Pyramid stage, and Metronomny headlined John Peel I believe. So we should be looking for acts of that calibre and perhaps slightly bigger given the 10th aniversary and increase in capacity. So bands such as Alt J, Chvrches, Foals, Royal Blood, Chic, Tame Impala and Bastille could all be considered, although I hasn’t looked at these bands other commitments or whether they are even touring haha.

I don't like this list 

What about:

Be happy with Elbow, was hoping to catch them again this summer, not seen them on any other lineups though so not sure they are around. Courteeners seems likely to me if they are around. Would someone like Stormzy be too big for this now?

If AM are not there then they have played it very well to seem like they were. Probably made more money than usual. I think if it continues to be on the up maybe bigger acts will appeal in the future. Tramlines has always been on the up and only positive things have happened this year.
