can't stand how there's the huge space left of the stage but not in view. Creates a right crush to get in view of the stage. 

That's fair - I was in that section when I saw Chvrches in 2022. Meant I stood at angle which also meant the speaker I was standing by gave me a full blast of sound, although given it was my first big scale show 2 1/2 years thanks to the pandemic, I kinda initially thought it was just rustiness at being out of practice for these shows.

Surprised the cardboard cutout didn't get further price cuts given how his move from Liverpool to Saudi seemed to annoy a lot of people.

Ah, he's football related! I had no idea when I was adding Hendos to my basket earlier this week 🤣

How pink is that new logo though! Could it be virtue signalling that they've finally got round to booking at least one female headliner?

So what are people thinking for headliners? Fatboy Slim seems likely but struggling to think what dark fruits act they could get this year. 

 

Unfortunately think Reytons will be high up on the bill one of the days.

Self Esteem ??

That was one that crossed my mind as she's putting out bits of new material and apparently working on an album. Not sure how she'd feel about pink though - a bit clichéd. I might be reading too much into, but the colour is a strong departure from previous more muted tones.

Reytons do seem primed for a big spot.

I agree, especially with the success of Clifton Park this year.

[NorthernSoul52]

And you know what, fair play to them, I guess.

"3 of the most requested headliners"

 

Well, the most requested headliner is AM, by a mile, but obviously will never be them. Not sure Reytons or Self-Esteem qualify if that's the criteria, but ultimately it's just marketing speak I suppose, and I'm sure they'll justify the headliners as "most requested" if a single person has tweeted at them to "get Reytons headlining".

And Pulp.

 

They're not managing expectations!

Just had a thought - the pink logo could also hint at Pulp...

And they have headlined NBHD, plus done Scarborough, so not out of the question

I personally think there's no chance of Pulp.

 

Reckon Reytons, Fatboy Slim and another headliner from Truck/Kendal/Y Not will headline.

I really cannot stand the Reytons but there is most definitely a draw there

If Reytons is the best they can do, it'll likely be a no from me this year, and I've been to more Tramlines than I care to remember

Some saying Vampire Weekend for Truck, if true they better come up and do Tramlines!

I saw that. Would be great here! We can only hope rn

[thatTFBguy]

Busted vs. Mcfly would be an elite Sunday headliner

Seeing them in Manchester in less than a fortnight, they've been one of my favs for years

I have a feeling if they don't appear at Tramlines or Y Not then they may be at Piece Hall, that's if they decide to come up North that is

[sheffinghell]

Reytons I think would be sub at best, or T'Other headline. I'm loath to say it, but they might headline RnR at Don Valley
