Still looking forward to tonight, but may have been spoiled by having seen Richard Hawley on very good form in a small venue earlier this week. Not the biggest fan of big gigs, but it's Sheffield, so had to be done. What did you think? We were there last night too and I actually thought they were brilliant. I'd read so many mixed reviews that I was a bit worried but we were really pleasantly surprised by how good they were. I mean, we are never going to get more than a few words out of Alex but he has always been the same. I don't even think it's about him being too cool - I think he just can't do it. As a front man, I actually think he has gotten better at it over the years Still slightly gutted I miss A Certain Romance on Friday. I was at Heaton Park for Courteeners. AM blew them out of park Edited June 11, 2023 by Digi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samjones Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 Thoroughly enjoyed AM but rather miffed about how the front pen worked. I wouldn’t have such an issue if they advertised it as a first come first served system for wrist bands but a bit sham that if you turn up later and even if there is room in the front section you can’t go in even if those with wristbands are relaxing somewhere at the back at that point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btyler Posted June 12, 2023 Report Share Posted June 12, 2023 Agree re front pen - lucky enough to get a wrist band and had lots of space , absolutely loved it. Separate note , was fantastic having pale rider on at a lot of the bars- chance of this happening at tramlines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AM blew them out of park Musically superb, great staging, although I thought it was a bit weird cutting the lights between songs. I was a bit disappointed with the lack of interaction tbh. I'm not expecting Jarvis levels of energy (or Brett Anderson, who was incredible at Kite yesterday), but a bit of hey Sheffield, how are you doing, good to be home, etc, would've been nice. I was lucky enough to get into the front pit. Great view and not as crowded as I thought it might be. I'm not sure it was needed, as didn't seem to be a lot of moshing. It was also not managed well, as when I went in, a lot were getting a wristband then going straight back out until AM came on. The sea of phones in there throughout was a tad annoying, especially as half of them seemed to be filming themselves singing along. I know, I'm an old grouch, but not tall, and do like to see the band! The reception of The Hives down front seemed pretty lacklustre too. Totally different to their crowd at Live at Leeds the other week, which was a fantastic festival experience. All in all, glad I went, great gig, but not the best I've ever seen by far.

The license for Pale Rider is owned by one of the Monkeys mates from way back who also part owns bars with Matt Helders. Suspect this is how Pale Rider got onto the bar offering. Probably a separate arrangement for Tramlines and know there has been a tie in with Thornbridge previously. Regardless be nice for the prices not to rise at Tramlines. Deems to be +50p every year.

karlnuttall Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 The Tramlines app has just been updated and all stage splits are on it. Judging by the placement of the 'secret set' - I would say McFly is a pretty solid guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just cant get my head round out of all the bands out there why the first secret set I've seen at Tramlines is f**king McFly of all bands, not exactly your typical Tramlines main stage band.

Agree with that. I'm not a massive fan myself but caught them at Glasto last year and they were actually pretty good (in a purely nostalgic sense). Think they could go down quite well at Tramlines.

Paul Heaton Not too dissimilar, although I don't mind Kaiser Chiefs. Add in Spector on Saturday and a bit of comedy - definitely seeing bit of Omid Djalili, see how it goes then nip round for the Zutons. Shame they've pitched Sugababes directly against Paul Heaton.

DomDom1984 Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 McFly are a wonderful live act, and I'd advise anyone who even remotely doesn't mind them to give them a go if they're there. They did a secret set at Slam Dunk a couple of years ago which rocked and yes, drew a MASSIVE crowd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
