Surely bigger than most of the 2019 top 6? Anyway, I agree hopefully initial announcement next week!

Sorry I just meant the headliners.  And yeah… fingers crossed

Talk of Kaiser Chiefs, George Ezra and Lewis Capaldi fill me with dread !!

Same. Capaldi should go into radio presenting as he's a naturally funny guy, his music however is absolute toss

Ezra's music is awful but Capaldi... Objectively there's something about it

Big fan of Ezra live tbh. Enjoyed him immensely at TRNSMT.

I guess they do always have one weak headliner. But when they do someone a bit bigger than Bloc Party tends to sub - maybe bigger is the wrong word but more landfill indie.

I think they can do better than Kaisers is what i'm saying i guess - and even if they do get Kaisers they'd pick Courteeners to headline over them 100%. I doubt courteeners would play anyway they have the fairly nearby Heaton Park show to sell

They sold Heaton Park out within an hour.

What would anyone make of The Libertines having a slot?

I know - hence a bigger draw vs kaisers?

@JBarbourany knowledge on when we can expect the first drop?

Looking at who has not been announced as yet by other none SuperStruct Festival's (TRNSMT, Latitude, Neighbourhood, IOW etc) list below of realistic potential Headliners and Subs IMO.

Headliners - Gerry Cinnamon, Stereophonics, Wolf Alice, Noel Gallagher, Blossoms, BBC, TDCC, Tom Grennan, Little Symz, AJ Tracey, Fontaines DC, 

Subs - DMA's, The Snuts, Self Esteem, The Charlatans, Franz Ferdinand, Libertines, Reytons, The Lathums

Tom Grennan is surely not headlining. Simz is loved on here but not too sure either - quite far from the indie they generally book which would be fine if she was bigger but shes on the smaller side i'd say

I reckon she’s headlining Standon. Not that it means anything… but still 😂

Standon is 17k so yep, doesn't mean much

Don't think Little Simz or Tom Grennan would headline. Little Simz maybe headline T'Other Stage. Think Franz Ferdinand or The libertines more likely to headline than either of those

Saw Jamie T last night and feel he would be the perfect Friday night sub headliner. An hours set would be perfect filled with countless well known and loved tunes. Would be a great fit imo

Still would not surprise me if he was headlining festivals like this, Truck, Kendall etc…

Don’t disagree with you. Feel he would be a weak headliner but a strong sub. Possibly Saturday sub

Any updates on first phase line up release date anyone ??

No inside info but they have restarted their socials, made their first post on TikTok since July, more tweets than anytime since July, so I think they're clearly gearing up for the initial announcement.

Before the end of the month I imagine.

Tramlines, Y Not and Truck all announced in  November last year.  Like you’ve said Tramlines plus the others have restarted their social media.  
 

I’d expect posts next week saying they’re announcing the following.

It's difficult to predict as well because none of the announced feats really shared much with Tramlines last year.

LAST YEAR:

TRNSMT and Tramlines shared Sam Fender.

IOW and Tramlines shared Kasabian and The Vaccines.

And IOW, Tramlines and TRNSMT all shared Self Esteem and Sigrid.

So based on that there is not much crossover, especially in terms of headline acts.

Once again throwing my hat in the prediction ring for Blossoms. Saw them at Rock City last night, the energy of the crowd there was far more fitting of a festival appearance than a 2,000 capacity venue!

I'd hope not headlining. I think they'd be a very good main stage sub (on pair with James, Vaccines, Wombats) but a pretty poor headline tbh

They were 3rd below a co at IOW you'll be ok

They only really headline up north
