There seems to be a lot of variations given they sold out one show at London O2, are close to selling out the other and by the look of it Leeds is close to a sell out. Least that's how it looked when I had to list tickets there for sale. 

I'm wishing them all the best obvs, but Sunday is always the quietest day.

Any rumours on who else may have been added since the original release? Feel like Friday is lacking 1/2 acts

Was around April last year when they announced additional acts; I want something more on the Saturday, courteeners and blossoms again feels very phoned in

Yes, was early April but there was very little added in 2025.  Stage splits were start of May.

Have people any thoughts on who will be headlining T'Other Stage.  Think there may be some significant clashes. 

 

Think The Enemy have confirmed they are Sunday headliner.   If the Poster follows the same pattern will be Freddie Halkon & The Coral.

[Hirstys 12th Pint]

Anyone any ideas when remaining bands and comedy line up will be released ?

Interesting to see Courteeners called "the most requested 2026 headliners" in social media ads, and it's the only day that's fully sold out. Guess those surveys had a lot of people wanting them back for a third time. 

 

Agree it's a bland booking but does seem the demand is there and I'm more than happy to see them back with Blossoms subbing.

The main reason I've not bought a ticket this year. Interesting to see their Manchester headline doesn't seem to have sold out yet. Maybe (hopefully) this is their peak.

Haha! Been seeing ads for it all week. Must've been a final push.

had a look and seems they've released some "extra tickets", maybe production holds? But either way it did "sell out" at first at least. 

[Dronx]

Yeah sold out really quickly originally.

Hoping with Wolf Alice's success at the Brits this will prove an inspired booking.  They are the act I am looking forward to most.

Not quite the same thing, but reminds me a little of when they booked Sam Fender in 2022. Looked quite the get by the time the festival rolled around, and Fender had grown arguably bigger than a Tramlines-sized fest. Wolf Alice are class, and I'm just hoping they get a good-sized, and most importantly, engaged crowd.

That is the key for me.  A little concerned the best act of the weekend may not appeal to the Dark Fruits kids and those that chat through every set.  

 

Think I will head close in for their slot.

 

On the Fender comparison sort of agree - but I can't stand his music now.  Now lost his rawness it is just bland rubbish with that awful sax in every track.

Most festivals sell out on the Saturday regardless. 
 

So many loans re Wolf Alice from mates etc but personally I can’t wait.

Sadly, this has mostly been my experience with Wolf Alice gigs. Leeds 2022 crowd was the worst I've ever seen, just people literally sitting down to hold a spot for AM, and even at their own arena gig last December in Nottingham, we seemed to be the only ones around that knew more than Bros/Kisses. Best time I've seen them was Sheffield 02, the crowd was fantastic.

[charlierc]

Tbf I found the crowd for Wolf Alice at London O2 last December was reasonably well engaged. Not as much as the girl in the row behind me who knew every word from start to finish, but they were still pretty good and willing to dance to more than just Bros or DDTK.

Seen Truck Festivals additions for the second wave, wouldn’t mind these adding to the ranks.

 

- Finn Forster

- Tom A Smith

- Picture Parlour

- Would really like CMAT again

[Modfin]

Ooh hopefully tramlines announcements soon

2nd wave is usually mostly comedy and more local acts, occasionally you get a few more better known acts, but don't think there are many slots left on the main stages this year. Sadly, very unlikely to get CMAT this year.

Halkon is confirmed as main stage.

Here we go. Not really sure why they bother with second announcement hype when it's mainly comedy.

 

Feels a bit short-changed on the music front  compared to other Superstruct festivals.
