I always say it but I never really get what people expect for the money. 

Stereophonics didn’t headline that long ago, bombay bumped up from sun to headliner this year and blossoms are a pretty weak headliner imo when they are thursday at truck and sub at tramlines. Plenty of people I’d see just a bit underwhelming for me

Not forgetting Y Not as reduced it capacity by 10k as well 

So the line up will reflect that 

I didn’t know that was the case. Do you know why that is?

I quite like this lineup honestly for my taste, but seems a bit weak when you compare it to truck's with blossoms on thursday.

It happened when it changed hands again. Its independent so I'd imagine it will be in relation the risk, insurance, budget...

Looks weak compared to the line-up just announced by Boardmasters. That said, it's also significantly cheaper than Boardmasters.

Yup.

I think getting MSP as a sub is brilliant. Tbf I'd watch MSP, DMAs though I think their earlier stuff is better. Jake Bugg, James and Levellers.

I bought tickets for the first time after my other 2 July festivals got binned off.  I'm super happy with it to be honest - there's more I want to see than I'll actually get around to seeing.

I prefer this to Boardmasters. I wouldn't be tempted at all by that.

Pretty happy with this, strength in depth down the line-up and can't complain with the cheaper price at all.

[BlackFoxx]

Any educated guesses about stage and day splits?

Happy with it - just hope it happens now 🤞

It's a shame they don't do day tickets.

Way, way better than last year imo, can't please everyone I guess.

[DanWhite]

Pleasantly surprised at that. Been wanting to see The Lathums, Reytons and Snuts for a while. Plus any line up with Sleaford Mods in it is gonna be sweet! 

[Conners2390]

Told you, remember your only paying a hundred quid not bad value at all 

[efcfanwirral]

Wow that's much better than kendal. Just purchased so we have tickets to both now, hedging our bets but going to shift kendal if both are happening. This is way more me

Usually in order of the posters so Fri. Sat, Sun - Blossoms to headline sunday.

[Hirstys 12th Pint]

I'd happily take James and Frank Turner at Tramlines.

That lineup has made me dislike the tramlines one even more, anyone fancy swapping tickets? Sickening how much better Y Not is. 

[JBarbour]

The undercard is a lot stronger than the headliners, it's a strange line up to get your head around that.

I can't get my head round Tramlines being 15 quid more expensive at this point and with no camping 😆

I think the Boardmasters line up is probably the most interesting and less samey than the mid level events. 

[Zebes]

Not a bad line up really. Saturday is a bit weak with BBC headlining but not complaining either way.

[efcfanwirral]

I really like them, think they deserve it and think they're very good live but surely Blossoms have stepped in for someone who cancelled? 

[efcfanwirral]

And...a general question for who went in 2018 and 2019. My last time was that fateful year in 2017, what's changed? Does anyone know what measures have been put in place to avoid such a catastrophic situation where bands cancel and we get sent home because it rains?

There would more likely have never been anyone there in the first place to cancel. One of the headliners will have been booked at the last minute, that's what they've been waiting for.

They changed sites. More drainage has been put in.
