[Ethan_Crossley96]

Hopefully questions on resale tickets, lineup changes and plans for the festival are all answered tonight

I’d love Bombay or Stereophonics. Not massive fan of the latter but would be step up from Ashcroft for me. 

As I’m not seeing Stereophonics at Y Not they would be a fantastic addition for me

I wonder if they will replace, they've had 10 days and not removed ashcroft from the line up.

Don’t see how they couldn’t replace him. Refunds are open to all right now after all. A headliner less day would cause massive refund requests I’m sure. Especially as it’s the Sunday which closes the festival. 
 

Think it’ll be someone from a cancelled festival that was the same weekend. They’re free and already had a contract with SS.

Bombay are playing Latitude that night

Good spot. Assuming it’ll be Stereophonics/Madness/Supergrass then. Unless they go super left field and get somebody completely new, or try and just not replace him (but I doubt that).

I certainly hope they are able to replace him. He was a major pull for the Sunday in an already pretty disappointing line up for me. 
although I totally understand it’s going to be difficult to pull great line ups out of the bag every year and especially this year given the current situation with COVID. 
I am just more than happy to be able to go and listen to live music again with fellow festival goers so although the line up isn’t outstanding in my opinion I will still be making the most of it all

Libertines ? 

It doesn't bother me really. Richard Ashcroft was the big one for me but the lineup didn't majorly appeal.

[wro_lap]

Think Supergrass are surely the front runners

Stereophonics for me.

Was thinking could be milburn, they put something on socials the other day teasing

What a nob Ashcroft is. 

This is going to be the biggest UK gig for 20 months, maybe more. 

Hopefully bands will be desperate to play given the chance.  Personally would like James or Frank Turner but prob not big enough. 

Why were Madness dropped from 2020?  

Would take Phonics but they did 2019.

Think Supergrass make sense as they’re playing a special guest show at Latitude the night before, and Stereophonics have had both of their previously booked U.K. festival headline gigs cancelled. No doubt they’d take it though. Supergrass also haven’t headlined Tramlines yet, so if it’s a straight shootout I think they’d be favourable.

Would not be too impressed with Supergrass.

Everything you’re saying makes sense, but I don’t want it to happen. So I’m going to pretend it’s nonsense! 😂

I didn't think they would be big enough, looking back though they were due to headline kendal and that's pretty much same size.

 

 

[wro_lap]

Yeah, I do agree that they’d be slightly underwhelming as a full headliner. That said, they’ll be scrambling round for a replacement and I guess they’d be up to the task

[Dronx]

Foals or Idles be my pick, followed by Supergrass or Wolf Alice. 
 

Tramlines very quiet on this.

Yeah, shit is hitting the fan. 😄

I feel for them, the stress of getting the event on, and now this. 

Statements are being put together.

two questions, if you have any insight!

Were they expecting this? Ashcroft is claiming he told the festival 10 days ago? Yet they’ve been promoting him as headlining all last week? What’s the story there? 

Also, not expecting any hints or anything. But do you know if they have a replacement or are looking to get one?

If ashcroft is being truthful, haven't they had 10 days to sort a statement out. As he posted today, I'm presuming ashcroft was getting frustrated that he was still being advertised on the bill.

Or perhaps trying to finalise a new headliner,  before revealing ashcroft had pulled.

No idea the politics of bookings myself.

Have the boys from High Green got enough time to get home and quarantine? 😂

He told his peoples not Tramlines peoples. So where the message got lost I'm not sure. 

Ashcroft reasoning to pull out is a decent excuse but is lame, he's probably not ready for live shows or got an holiday booked. 😄

He’s hardly a anarchist and seems to have fundamentally misunderstanding what a pilot event is. He fancies himself as anti establishment, its trendy in these circles see Ian Brown.

They are all in the country and recording an album at the moment, I think 🤔. One can dream. It would break the bank though and unlikely. Maybe Timm can pull in a huge favour.

Do you not know of any set name that has been lined up to replace him then?

[Smeble]

What a bellend.

If anyone can Timm can.  Got to feel for him these last couple of years.
