Supergrass to headline?

[JBarbour]

We are possibly on track for some news soon. But not line up related. 

[FestivalJamie]

Phonics to headline off the back of their new album?

[stereomike2020]

Supergrass could well headline. I was impressed by their lineup last year.

This makes most sense, esp as they are only touring for a year before apparently going back to their solo stuff

Bring Me? Y Not just tweeted something like some interesting 2020 headliners on the horizon, could be nothing but if Y Not share acts with Truck again it could be potential especially if the ticket sales for APE were as bad as was made out as no big festival will want to touch them.

Aren’t Truck and Tramlines supposed to be sharing headliners next year as I believe they are both going to be run by superstruct or did that never develop? @JBarbour can you shed any light?

Yes Truck and Tramlines are likely sharing a top tier line up with local/regional acts at each festival. Both Superstruct 

Y Not is independent again with some financial backing / borrowing from Global. In the past Truck, Y Not and Tramlines have all shared a freelance booker for top tier acts whether that continues I'm not sure.

Kele said at Victorious this year that this is the last Bloc Party show for a very long time, said something like this is the last Bloc Party performance of the year, for many years in fact. So don't expect them to turn up anytime soon, sadly, cus they were bloody brilliant. But sounds like they're on indefinite hiatus now.

When abouts was the Truck 19 bill announced?

I’m sure it was the 1st week in Feb when they announced the 1st acts. Next year they are sharing some main stage acts with Tramlines and they’ve already said the 1st announcement will be in the new year so I assume the same will apply for Truck

[charlierc]

If nothing is expected before Christmas, then I don't expect to see anything.

I'm not sure what level bands might be in the running to do this one tbf. I'd have said Chvrches tbf in further to a suggestion above, but if they're not touring, they're not touring.

[y0ungtitan]

Been told the headliners - I'm not entirely sure how accurate my source is (I do trust it though), but if it's correct two of the main headliners and the Thursday headliner haven't been mentioned in this thread yet.

[Callum_96]

I'd go Sam Fender as one of them then then maybe Bombay and The Kooks

[Tom Connolly]

if tramlines and truck are sharing headliners will truck get the really random nostalgic sunday act that tramlines get. or will tramlines get 3 indie headliners?

Although Truck and Tramlines will share a lot of top tier line up doesn't mean they will share every act. It was initially thought the festivals were straight up twinning but that got knocked back by the organisers.

Do you have any idea of any acts that have been booked?

Nothing for certain.
