He headlined Sunday at YNot, which is a similar size (and same organisers). The setlist was pretty jazzy/soulful, big touring band, piano/Hammond. For that type of show, headline is the only spot that makes sense.

Would jazzy stuff play well to the average Tramlines crowd? I'm guessing to a point.

Not too sure on what the licensing on the name will be like but the building will still remain open as a venue. Think that electric music group have said they wanted to move away from the club nights to it being more focused on gigs again. The only real thing threatened by the take over was it loosing it's independent status which it's owners made out would be the end of the venue forever and seemed willing to take down the venue itself and all it's staff with them. Honestly, if it's going to move towards booking a variety of shows again it might actually be a positive result for the gig culture in Sheffield.

Oh, really? Intriguing.

Back on topic - Paul Weller. Yay or nay for this joint?

Is this a substantiated rumour or just an open question ?

I have seen Weller 3 times in last 18 months including the Y Not set and he has certainly got his mojo back. 

Would fit the Sunday headline slot ideally at Tramlines.  Past Sunday headliners have been Paul Heaton, Supergrass, Madness and Nile Rodgers.

Open question! But thank you!

Gerry Cinnamon surely well in with a shout for Tramlines. Would fit the Friday/Saturday night indie headliners that Tramlines loves, and is playing TRNSMT so about next summer.

Given he appears to be abnormally massive in Scotland, this probably is around the right size.

Gerry would be my dream Tramlines booking.

Can bring his pacemaker too.

One for the oldies, there.

The dream is dead, The Front Bottoms at O2 Sheffield officially cancelled.

Don’t worry it’s moved to Oxford instead 🥴

The handling of various O2 bookings have been a shambles.

Girls Aloud no Sheffield date. Perfect Sunday headliner.

This would actually be a class Sunday night headliner. 

[NorthernSoul52]

I did wonder if Girls Aloud might have skipped Sheffield for that reason.

The Front Bottoms in Oxford, that famously northern locale.

I would be down the front !!!

Could Keane be a shout to headline? They're touring next year and feel like a Tramlines band to me.

Should have moved over to Leeds really but I suspect it was a case of The Academy Group offered them O2 Oxford for the same date and it was just the easiest alternative.

I was hoping they might shuffle The Gaslight Anthem over to Leeds, but there's a clash there with Stiff Little Fingers, I think.

Do we think Gerry doing Leeds means he’s out for tramlines?

Definitely.

Weller has announced City Hall in April, so I think we can rule him out.

Unfortunately a Sheffield date has now been added to their tour - agree they would have been perfect though!
