Agreed, it's great to have something a bit more out of the ordinary - almost takes me back to early Tramlines when DiS used to curate the Barker's Pool stage.

I thought the first two post-reunion Pixies albums were the best, though still pretty average and not a touch on anything from the original incarnation. If memory serves, they didn't play anything from them at EotR in 2022. It was a greatest hits set, with a few from the new album at the time, the aptly-titled Doggerel. And nobody was there for those tracks. I have listened to the new album once. That was enough.

Anyway, Muse. 1 Knights of Cydonia 2 Plug In Baby 3 Dead Inside 4 Hysteria (w/ Interlude) 5 Won't Stand Down 6 Undisclosed Desires 7 Supremacy 8 Thought Contagion 9 Sunburn 10 Supermassive Black Hole 11 Stockholm Syndrome 12 Pressure 13 Resistance 14 You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween 15 New Born 16 Madness 17 Time Is Running Out 18 Uprising   19 Mercy 20 Starlight      

I honestly think it will be packed on Friday, with people getting in early to get a good spot for Pulp, and a good proportion will enjoy the support acts.    One thing that has often been a bit odd with Tramlines is that they seem to target different audiences across the 3 days, which can feel a bit disjointed across the whole weekend, but works well for the day trippers. This was really noticeable last year, and the Saturday was out of step, and less well attended. I feel there may be an element of that again this year, albeit 3 very popular acts in their own way, and almost everyone wants to see Pulp!

Absolute bollocks.
