There was a story going about of Superstruct twinning the festival with Truck. That still looks like that's the case but too a lesser extent than rumours suggested. 

Twinning as in similar to how Reading/Leeds works?

[dentalplan]

If that was Truck staying as is and Tramlines having a lineup like Truck, that'd be quite appealing.

Why would they twin a camping and non camping festival. Seems a bit strange to be honest surely Y Not would be a better twin for Truck given their lineup was practically the same this year (not sure they are still owned by the same people?)

it's the bands who get twin-booked, to play at both festivals.

By making a more substantial offer (two shows, double[ish] the money) the fests are more likely to secure that act, and because it's two shows in one booking the fest might get a few quid knocked off too.

Y Not is an independent festival again. 

Truck and Tramlines will share main stage line ups with local acts different at the events.

Also useful to share cost say flights etc. 

Used to happen a lot for DJs a few clubs would share the cost of flying someone in and on hotels, etc. Do would normally do 3 sets each night but all over the country

Decided not to do Glasto next year as my wife has been diagnosed with a medical condition that means she wouldn't handle vast walking involved with conquering Glasto. 

Instead we've booked VIP tickets for Tramlines. My brother went in 2018 and friends went this year and they all loved it, cant wait !

Been going VIP the past few years and returning again next year. Great festival for the price and VIP is definitely worth it to avoid the queues at the bar, better loos and also somewhere to sit.

My wife's suffering from a condition that affects her thyroid so gets tired easily, could still be ongoing next summer so we thought the VIP would be great for all those reasons

I’m sorry to hear that. VIP is great though, plenty of benches and bean bags to sit down on. There’s also a sheltered area if you don’t mind sitting on the floor thats in the shade. I like it as it’s somewhere to go out of the crowds and you can sit down without getting in everyone’s way and getting trampled on. There’s sometimes a small queue if you get to the entrance when the bands on the main stage finish but no longer than a minute or so. Enjoy the festival ?

Probably not. Their stock as fallen quite a bit in recent years. Could be put on par with the likes of Foals and Noel. Just not sure if they fit the Tramlines/Truck vibe. I'd like to see them at Tramlines though.

Could we be due an announcement soon? Tier 4 have sold out but they are holding off on Tier 5 going on sale. Could be just a marketing ploy and releasing Christmas tickets with bobble hats like last year

Yes, saw they replied to someone’s tweet saying first announcement in the new year. Will they officially be announcing sharing a main stage with truck or will they just both be announced simultaneously?

[Dronx]

Early names I’ve heard are Ian Brown & DMA’s

[moams]

Would like to see The Amazons at this, smashed it at Rock City last night. 

[Tom Connolly]

Either him or Liam Gallagher I would imagine. I'd heard Liam Gallagher rumoured a while ago.
