Can't believe we've not had the second drop of acts yet!

Around a month late already. And last year we got stage splits 4th April, so maybe they're going straight to that?

I'm sure I read somewhere this morning it's over 50 acts, so I'm assuming it'll be a lot of new bands filling out smaller stages but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Looking at some of the smaller stages at Ynot and Truck we could be in for a treat

Should be some more for the bigger stages too for Fri/Sun as these were fairly light on the first release. Smaller stages are always worth a look. The Leadmill lineup in particular usually has rich pickings

No real big names added in the second wave besides John Cooper Clarke

A bit disappointing TBF, but the money has obvs gone on Pulp. I still feel there should be a few more names to fill out the Leadmill stage. We'll see.

Yeah, I’d have been miffed if it wasn’t for the fact I got the tickets in Phase 1 when they were a steal, and there was already more than enough to justify the cost with the first drop. 
 

Still be a cracking weekend but John Cooper Clarke as a special guest feels like a big cop out to me (and I say that as someone who likes him)

Same here. Was hoping for Richard Hawley. Also not sure how JCC will work on an open stage. Much as I enjoy his work, sound can be variable for spoken word even in a venue with good acoustics. Who knows, maybe he's bringing Alex Turner with him 😂

So all the Sat and Sun adds are competition winners. Pretty poor.


First year since 2019 we're skipping. Didn't get early bird pre lineup like normal either. Like we somehow knew. 
 

I set a very low bar for tramlines because i want to support festival in the city I live. But just nothing in that lineup that appeals to me beyond "I'd see them if there was nowt else on" and that's not worth the ticket and beer cost. 
 

shame but hope it's a good one and we'll be back next year hopefully.

I go to Tramlines nearly every summer, even though I don't live in the UK. And I was so excited about the Pulp/Spiritualized combo that I bought tickets in November, expecting that they'd keep some acts I really wanted to see in reserve for the 2nd announcement. But I took a hard look at this lineup today, and I found that there were very few acts I really wanted to see on here, beyond Pulp, Spiritualized, and maybe the Futureheads and Red Rum Club (both of whom I've seen before). So even though it's much more expensive, I went ahead and bought Latitude tickets instead, since that's featuring a ton of acts I really want to see. Now I just need to figure out the best way to sell my weekend ticket to Tramlines...

Yeah, that’s exactly who I had in my head too haha. Totally agree with JCC though, just think it’s completely the wrong setting for him.

 

Never seen Pulp and always wanted to, CMAT is my most played artist last year and never seen her either. Kasabian and Franz two of my favourite live bands, and there’ll be plenty more I’ll enjoy in the field I’m sure

You could try Tixel, very likely the official reseller. It's very easy as they reissue your ticket. You get paid after the event, or in advance if you don't mind paying a markup.

Sounds like we have similar taste. I love Franz live, and I was lucky enough to catch Pulp twice for the first time in 23. They are spectacular and with a home crowd it will be something else.

 

I also really enjoy Baxter Dury live, CMAT I've missed several times and really keen to see, Kasabian usually very good, I have a soft spot for the Futureheads having seen them loads when I was doing photography, and very interested to see how John Grant and Spiritualized work out. 

 

Might even manage to catch some comedy this year. 

 

There's definitely enough there to justify my ticket, so long as the clashes are not too awful.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
