Get the feeling she will play high up at a number of festivals. So a good shout forsub or third down but agree sub seems likely.

She's still only playing small venues and her music isn't exactly the normal indie vibe TL like to book so I'd probably say third down or headline T'Other Stage.

Think her current tour included 3 nights at the Eventim Appollo not to shabby, on top on of playing lots of smaller venues. Her popularity is certainly growing.

[Dronx]

She said during her performance this year that she’ll see us on the main stage next year.

Would like a bombay sub headline, played a fair few of tramlines sister festivals over the last few years so we are probably due them

Surely not headline material tho

Tbf no smaller that Madness, Craig David, Supergrass, Nile Rodgers & Chic etc…. All of who have done it in years gone past.  

Especially if this type of festival (and others) are struggling this year

I would agree that they are not quite strong enough to be headliner. Hence why I said sub headliner…

Bastille?

Would be a good Sunday headliner, caters to the families, big enough, not playing Sheffield on their tour, played Kendal last year

[swede]

Could we get Little Simz on the main stage after the Boardmasters announcement ?

Not headlining. No chance, doesn't fit Tramlines crowd.

[wro_lap]

Could see Simz subbing. She played the tent a couple of years back and went down well

[stanh]

Simz subbing would be a great booking, I would love to see that there!

Heard a rumour today that it's:

TDCC

NG's HFB

Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbot

[DomDom1984]

That's not a bad trio tbh, if a bit uninspired. If a medium sized fest up here had that, I'd consider it at least.

Sounds about right. Not sure how Paul and Jacqui have become festival headliners but here we are

Seems realistic but considering a few days ago only 1 header was booked I’d say it’s a lot of rubbish

Tramlines by the numbers then. Bring back the old Tramlines 😞

Would not be my choice but would fit the Sunday evening slot especially if you look at previous years - Craig David, Chic, Supergrass, Madness.

TDCC headlined in 2019, and NG headlined 2018. Would be surprised to see two repeat headliners but I'd take them. Not at all arsed about NG but missus is, and we both love TDCC.

We love TDCC too so would be happy to see them back. 

NG was the worst headliner I have seen at the Hillsborough Park Tramlines.

Worse than Supergrass?

Yes, musically Supergrass were very good.  Circumstances did for Supergrass - last minute addition and following a Dizzee who over ran. 

Noel was just very very dull.

[JBarbour]

Last I heard they trying for no repeat headliners. Not forgetting they still putting the line up together.
