So, with Pulp effectively done and dusted sales-wise, anything special to expect for what could get in terms of their show?

 

It kind of feels they have had their foot on the pedal for the same kind of show since reuniting - but if there is a place to throw caution to the wind, Sheffield may be it...

The big question may be whether they are looking at teasing out or promoting a new album. There has been speculation they are working on something.

Weekend and Friday sold out... well before they usually even make the first announcement. Hopefully this means early announcements are going to be become the norm.

 

Hopefully this doesn't affect the quality of acts that are still to be announced.  Pulp aside the Friday for me is a little low on acts to see.  Don't get me wrong I'm happy to take that for the Headliners to be Pulp.

Think its a one off from Pulp to be honest

All other Super Struct Festivals announced early as well though so could be the norm.

 

I think that means that the high sales are Pulp related, rather than being linked to the early announcement.

 

As evidenced by the seemingly slow sales for Saturday / Sunday day tickets.

Totally get that, but a few decent acts announced earlier gives them a better chance of getting money in with an early sell out. New ownership/investors at Superstruct this year, so I guess only time will tell.

They're looking to be doing better on Sat/Sun than for last year though, where the less popular days were a fair bit lower on sales even at the end e.g. Sat was half empty compared to Fri.

Yeah bang on

 

Not sure how their other fests are doing - imo they have got some quite good lineups across the board with decent names vs last year which i think is doing most of the heavy lifting.

Im travelling from Hull, not too far but I usually end up missing out on acts I want to see on the Friday due to the travelling then setting up in the accommodation, so the Friday is perfect for me this year. 

 

Travel down without having to worry too much, get in, some time in VIP for a few drinks then see Pulp if theres no one else we fancy, hoping the Hot Chip DJ set is mainstage though.

For line-up perhaps, but really the worst day in Tramlines history was Sunday in 2023. The site was a muddy lake.

I'm shivering just remembering that day (which was also bloody freezing). I had grand hopes of seeing Paul Heaton, but ended up bailing around 5:00 and just going back to my warm, dry, not-muddy hotel room.

I managed about 15 mins of Paul Heaton, and I'm a fan. Then took about an hour and a half to 2 hours to get  c.5 miles home by bus. Thoroughly miserable experience! I think that may be a factor in why they've been front-loading the lineup the last couple of years.

Still had a good day - Courting and Wunderhorse in the tent were excellent.  Plus the rain gave me an excuse to hide in a tent from Kaiser Chiefs.  Glad I stayed to endure the elements as Paul Heaton was fantastic.

Any more rumours for second announcement yet? 

Was wondering if we might get a second announcement in the usual first announcement slot, i e. run up to Jan payday. Nothing heard yet though.

New album from Self Esteem in April. Really hoping they might be able to get her for a slot on the Friday. She's booked for one or two other festival dates already.

 

Self Esteem subbing Pulp would be a great result.  If she is added to the Friday line up hope its not that 2pm 'Special Guest' slot as would be a complete waste.

In 22 looks like she subbed Sigrid on T'Other, but since then she has taken off, so who knows. I think she'd be a great sub for Pulp, but the poster seems to suggest Spiritualized for that, and a special guest TBA. Agree with you, the special guest slot would be a tragedy. She would definitely be worth more than that for a Sheffield audience. Also, she has a headline slot for End of the Road - I know that's a lot smaller, but confirms she can draw a decent sized crowd these days.

    • 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
