I have a feeling if they don't appear at Tramlines or Y Not then they may be at Piece Hall, that's if they decide to come up North that is

They would fit really well at the Piece Hall. Would definitely get a ticket for that.

Yeah, if there's any chance of them coming over here I do think it's for headline outdoor shows rather than festival headlines.

 

I highly doubt they will be a Truck but a Thursday headline isn't out of the question.

Reytons I think would be sub at best, or T'Other headline. I'm loath to say it, but they might headline RnR at Don Valley

 

Can't see it.  Rev has the Headline slot for the 'Indie' day.

They effectively had two indie days last year though. Maybe they'll sub for Rev.

I think it's pretty nailed on that they'll headline the main stage. I think you're underestimating how much of a fanbase they have in this area

Tramlines Insta has been liking comments which mention the Reytons, not that it'll come as a surprise. Fair play to them but I think they're absolutely awful. Proper pastiche guff.

Will keep my eyes out on the instagram

Depressing. I'm 'manifesting' them away, in honour of word of the year 😂

Fellas in their late thirties still writing about stuff they were doing in their early twenties.  Appreciate there is a market for them and they have done well but not for me.

Biffy Clyro surely got to be in the requested list. Perennial festival player, likely down towards the level these days.

[OliverC]

Looking likely that Inhaler, Wombats, Courteeners, Prodigy are all playing Y Not judging by the comments the official account has liked on Instagram.

 

I reckon we will see Inhaler, Wombats and Courteeners but for whatever reason I doubt the Prodigy at tramlines

Wombats surely not headliner material, are they?

No, but they will probs be on the lineup

 

I actually backtrack regarding what I said about The Prodigy.

 

My final prediction is Reytons, Prodigy, Fatboy Slim in no particular order, and I think it'll be the same at Y Not only with Reytons replaced by Courteeners as headliner

[NorthernSoul52]

Interesting. Be curious to see how that shifts.

As long as VW don't pop up at Truck Festival (which they won't) I'd be well happy with that

[NorthernSoul52]

I thought somebody said they were there?

They did, but I really do not believe it.

[NorthernSoul52]

Interesting.

[dhtjmnd12]

Three of the most requested… could Gerry make the bill? Reytons, Gerry, and Fatboy Slim as the three headliners?

Granted I'm biased as all hell considering they're one of my favorite bands, but I will never understand how the likes of James, Paolo Nutini, Madness, Supergrass and Paul Heaton can headline these festivals but Wombats can't. They've got the perfect mix of massive bangers everybody knows and new material that is actually relevant and enjoyed by fans. If the bloody Reytons are being pushed to headline Tramlines, the Wombats should easily get the chance at a Tramlines/Y Not as well.

Everybody know bs everybody likes I think is the major difference. You could probably take Killed The Director, Dance to Joy Division and Moving to New York out of a Wombats set and for me that is virtually then dead and unknown.

Courteeners headlined twice so surely not again ?

 

Hope you are right with Inhaler as they would be part of my dream line up.

Wombats toured arenas multiple times, without doubt more headliner level than lots mentioned above, feel they’ve got to go big and popular . after the disaster last year , Gerry wombats prodigy , would be that. Also biffy big enough but unsure they’re dark fruits enough for trammers. Courteeners too recent and twice. Fatboy slim as Sunday pm slot?

No one seems to be including a more family-friendly heritage act as their Sunday headliner for Tramlines.

Sadly, this will probably be James
