You could use the tram, get off at University or West Street then a short walk, or most buses go through town. Try the First bus app to get a more precise hit for your location. They go from Penistone Road and Hillsborough barracks at the back. You're likely to get a better hit rate on Penistone road.

 

More general info on service changes here - including services affected by road closures

Ah perfect thank you, I was trying to make sense of the travel info but I couldn’t quite get it so this is great cheers, it’s good to know Penistone road is probably the best bet coming back as I wasn’t sure which way to go

Has someone pulled out before Rizzle kicks?

I have a screenshot from May of the stage splits and there's nothing between RK and HS

[Dronx]

Wonder if we might get a special guest? Seems like a big slot.

Has anyone received the Access tickets/access information yet?

It said they would be sent no later than 7 days before

Not a great year for me, but I think just about enough to see to get me through the weekend. 

Only one major clash and that's Red Rum Club (one of my absolute favourites and seen many times), or The Last Dinner Party (never seen but like their album enough). Will probably decide on the day, but feel like Red Rum will win, just because I know that's going to be a very stong hour of songs I love.

I had the same dilemma very briefly.  Seen RRC about 20 times and will be making it 21 on Sunday.  Facts its an hour long set makes it like a proper gig (well, nearly).

Yeah, this has got to be my 10th or 11th time seeing them, and seeing them in Foudnry later in the year, but I just know they're gonna perk up a last day hungover me aha!

Is there a guide to Tramlines fringe at all?  Unexpectedly might be able to go now on Saturday but don't have time to trawl through every band/venue!  

I like psych and postpunk if anyone has any recomendations

Looks like there's a Reddit for discussions on what's what too

Really hope the rain stays away on Friday. Got a bit of a cold at the moment, massively not in the mood to get drenched. Current forecast looks tentatively hopeful

Forecast looks fair and 21 degrees.  Only rain around looks to be Sunday morning at present.

Massively recommend Bruise Control headlining Yellow Arch on Saturday. They're incredible fun live. Very surprised they're not playing Rising at Green Man this year as they've had a lot of hype! 

 

We're gonna leave Hillsborough Park, early to catch them.

Cheers - just tipped my lad off about these.  Sound like his bag.

I’m wondering about special guests too, anyone have any intel? They posted Wunderhorse on their Instagram story the other day but that may have just been the Truck Festival admin by accident 🤣

Not known Tramlines have late addition special guests.

 

They had McFly listed as The Scottish Flys but everyone had sussed that well in advance.

[sheffinghell]

Forecast from our ultra local weather guy 😬

[Sebwax]

So, is there anywhere they can/will throw on the Euros Final? It would be great to catch at least the first half before LDP.

 

I know it's a music festival and not their problem, but it is frustrating that there's no re-entry if they decide against it.

Can't say it would add to my day one jot.  If its on the main stage screen will ensue I go and watch a band in the Leadmill tent. 

[SquidWard]

They did pop a screen up when it clashed with a sporting event a few years ago (i have no recollection which one). The screen was up near the library stage. 

I'm in agreement with Hirsty though - hope they don't have it near the main stage.

If you're starting from the city centre, it's on a big screen outside The Crucible theatre

[Dronx]

The sun is shining in the Steel City. As a Wednesday fan it’s been a horrific past few months. Pulp in Hillsborough Park, the stuff of dreams. Just need to ignore the back drop behind the stage. Have a cracking weekend everyone.
