I reckon there will be one curveball on here somewhere at the top - an act that make you goes "hell, now that's something."

 

But I'm struggling to think who it could be.

Fingers crossed. I'd love to carry on supporting Tramlines if I can, having been going since the early days. 

 

Self Esteem is beginning to make some murmurs about new music. If they put her on with someone like Wolf Alice as headline, I'd be all over it.

 

Doves are coming out of retirement too, but I'd want more than them. 

 

Sting or Iggy would be amazing curve balls, but not sure they'd do Superstruct events.

Self-Esteem's stock has soared, and has the local factor too. I could see her getting a very meaty spot, providing the commercial ball hasn't been dropped there.

If I vaguely remember she was on T'Other headline last time - 2-3 years ago?

 

The RnR event at Don Valley last year with SE headline and Confidence Man support was superb. Only around 50% full though (c. 5k), but very heavy touring in the run-up, including Sheffield. Strong  female / gay  audience too, so that is slightly at odds with Tramlines to date, which can have more of a blokey feel for the lineups overall. 

 

Hopefully first announcement before Xmas anyway.

Think so, though my memory is hazy without looking.

 

Is RNR Circus a 10k capacity? Thought it was less for some reason.

Somewhere around 8-10 I believe. They rejigged the site this year, so difficult to gauge.

Any clues from the Kendal Calling line up as usually some crossover. 

 

Personally can't see any of the three headliners being at Tramlines - maybe Fat Boy Slim at a push.   Courteeners have headlined twice so surely not a third time. 

I'm thinking they might go for Fat Boy Slim on Sunday. Wouldn't be surprised at Travis on T'Other or sub, would like to see Corrine Bailey Rae, Scouting for Girls will most likely crop up, and of course, it's likely Rev will be back

Rev may not be back what with doing Rock n Roll Circus.  Would deffo take Frank Turner, The K's, Royston Club and Last Dinner Party.

Slightly off topic, but I know some here will be interested... planning has been submitted to remove RAAC and instal new roof on the O2 Academy. I guess we still might be a year away, but it is progress.

 

Been more than happy with Octagon Centre as an alternative.  

 

Sheffield really needs a new mid range venue though in the Centre.

Yeah, the Octagon is a good venue, but limited timeslots available due to their diverse range of events. 

 

I don't mind if the O2 reopens or we get a new one, but wish it would get sorted sooner rather than later.

I know some may not like it, but I do think it could be time for Reytons to headline. Someone said it earlier about them not having a South Yorkshire date on their tour, and after selling out Clifton Park this seems like the next step up for them. Day tickets would sell very well for them I would imagine, and I definitely think they could do it. First saw them when they last played Tramlines 2021 and they were one of the best acts that weekend for me

I'd rather see Reytons on a bill than tbe same old rotated indie rubbish. Reytons and Gerry for me would be quite fresh. Courteeners and TDCC for example would be like bore off.

Happy days! I'm desperately missing the O2. Will go against the grain and say I loathe Octagon as a venue. Feels like a stage has just been thrown into a corner of a village hall (cause it basically is that), and its design as a multiple-purpose venue hurts the ability to create atmosphere. Really dislike it.

    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
