Surely!! Saturday night Gerry would be sensational. 

true it would be so nice to leave early

[DomDom1984]

Was it not this lot that did a video telling when the announcement would be last year, and it was Gerry then too?

 

Certainly one of the Superstruct lot did it. Wouldn't read anything into it.

Am I completely out of touch? I'm seeing Maccabees floated as a headliner for Tramlines/Y Not/Truck by several people, but surely they're not of that level? They're like a sub at most in my eyes.

They headlined an APE day so definitely could do it.

I would not be happy if they were Headliners.  86TV's albeit the same band played the Leadmill tent 18 months ago.

 

Problem with Tramlines is majority of tickets have usually gone by the time acts announced so not under the same pressure for big acts.

Fine for APE.

 

APE is much harder show to sell i'd argue given how much competition London has, weaker supports and higher ticket prices.

Yeah, very true. Suppose I'm part of the problem there as somebody who's bought tickets before the lineup every single time bar one since 2019. The one year we didn't was last year, and we didn't end up going cause the lineup was very poor in the end (for us, if you liked it, hope you had a blast!).

Bandisintown leaked Bristol 23rd, Brighton 25th and Leeds 31st July for Maccabess so...maybe? Seems tight though for a Tramlines.

First line up announcement on Monday, I expect a few other mid size festivals will start announcing over the next couple of weeks.

That's a real nice way to do it, hope it generates some good collections for the food bank.

Maccabees, Vaccines and Vanessa Carlton all at Truck, would expect them to be in the mix here.

If Maccabees are a headliner, I can't disagree. 

[cam__sh]

Maccabees are a northern exclusive to the Leeds gig they're doing, so they're ruled out

CMAT now confirmed too, two years on the trot - I would happily accept the same at Tramlines in a longer slot!

Nice clear poster to take a look at... 

[OwlsMarathon]

I’m going to have a long shot here and guess at James headlining. If you look at the design of tramlines and that last poster looks like James most recent song cover

That looks to only have 2 headlines on it, probably completely wrong though!

Subbed last time they were at Tramines, don't see a reason they'd have moved up a slot.
