Question re Arctic Monkeys gigs in June - will there more on the lineup than the current 3 - AM / Hives / Mysterines? Doors at 5pm.

Can't image anyone else will be added.  Would imagine Monkeys will be on at 8.30pm due to curfew laws. 

Anyone else a bit underwhelmed with the support acts.  Sure Europe dates have Fontaines DC supporting.  

 

[sheffinghell]

The Hives should be pretty good, unless they've mellowed dramatically over the last 10 years or so. 

[Dronx]

Hives will be really good. Didn’t really need any bigger support. Ticket sales were huge. 

[Hirstys 12th Pint]

Anyone know when next Tramlines wave sorry trickle of acts will be released ?  Doesn't look to be any standout T'Other stage headliners at the moment unless its Bloc Party and Sugarbabes.

Last year second announcement was early Feb and full stage splits 30th March.

Apparently Y Not is teasing its second announcement. Assume Tramlines won't be far behind.

Payday push for both, I reckon

I reckon Truck and victorious this week, Tramlines and Y Not next week.  
 

Looking at the number of acts already announced for Tramlines im not expecting hardly any big acts at all 

[Hirstys 12th Pint]

Who do we think are headlining the T'Other Stage ?

[sheffinghell]

De la soul type hint on the latest Twitter post,plus Inhaler, RAYE... or they could just be teasing

Inhaler were there last year so maybe just a callback to that, wouldn't bet on them playing two years in a row.

Beabadoobee has pulled out of Truck and Victorious, would suspect that Tramlines is next to lose her. Shame.

Been removed from her website now.

Looks like 2nd lineup is on the way -- "exciting news" trailing on insta

[WRhodes493]

Second announcement on Wednesday, 6pm! Who we thinking could be announced?

Looking at Trucks second announcement can't imagine any major additions although not sure all T'Other Stage Headliners have been announced. 

 

[Jack.194]

No major additions, guessing will be similar for Y Not tomorrow as well

[thatTFBguy]

I was already happy enough with the lineup so really not arsed about nowt being added but I don't get why they even hype up these 2nd announcements if that's all they've got to drop. Seem to just get social media backlash as the average punter expects big new additions and moans when it's just smaller bits. 

[Hirstys 12th Pint]

Was never going to be anything other than underwhelming.  Don't need to add major new acts to shift tickets as nearly sold out. 

From new additions The K's are decent and my lad is happy as a Bilk fan.

Anyone know who T'other Stage Headliners are from how the poster is laid out ?  Bloc Party, Kate Nash and Sugarbabes ?

[briddj]

I wasn't expecting much at all, but perhaps at least one!

But yeah, I was happy already.

[Hirstys 12th Pint]

The moaners are out in force on the socials.  Why do these people bother buying tickets.

For £100 for 3 days of decentish artists it remains excellent value.

Does anyone know the bar providers for arctic monkeys and tramlines this year? Thanks!

Pretty sure there'll be a Thornbridge bar at Tramlines. Heard on other festivals that Red Stripe owners have pulled out of all events so probably not them. Tramlines were asking on Twitter about beer a couple of weeks ago, so probably still in planning.

Sorry if this has been asked before but I can't seem to find an answer using the search the tool. I'm going to the arctic monkeys gig on the saturday and staying in the city centre. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what the easiest way to get to and from Hillsborough Park is? I saw that there are trams available, will they be running after the concert and how busy do they get? Is the tram the best option or is there a better way? Thanks

Tram or bus. They will all be very busy, but likely to have crowd control measures in place until everyone is gone. Tram is nearest to the site, buses of various numbers are likely to be restricted to stops c. 10 min walk away. Pretty much all buses and all trams go via city centre. There should be more precise info in the Tramlines FAQs page. It will be the same setup for AM.
