But that's also true of loads of previous Tramlines/Y Not headliners - bands/artists with 3-5 well-known songs (Wombats also have Greek Tragedy, Tokyo, Techo Fan and Turn which I'd say a good few non-fans would know) and a setlist of otherwise unknown. Just don't really understand why Wombats aren't at that level when Paolo Nutini or Jamie T are.

Sounds like a repeat of the Jamie T set if remove Sheila, Sticks and Stones and Zombie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that I the little I have heard of Wombats are much better than those two - plus they are mates with my favourite band Red Rum Club.

Sure, I'm not saying Wombats would be considered a "get" or a headliner that would make people say "How did they manage to get them?" or anything, just saying I don't really see the reason why they've never been able to take that step up when you look at some of the previous headliners at Tramlines/Y Not who are of similar size/popularity. But again, I'm a huge fan so will acknowledge it's hard to accurately judge how "big" they are because in my world they're an elite booking at any festival. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernSoul52 Posted Wednesday at 04:17 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 04:17 PM Not an obvious shout, but if they'd gone around in 2025, I'd wonder if New Order would fit the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO would be awesome, but don't seem to do too many festivals lately. Other options those who seem to be active next year... Sting, Jamiroquai, Stereophonics (last time was 2018)...

Just don't really understand why Wombats aren't at that level when Paolo Nutini or Jamie T are. I wouldn't even put Yokyo in that lot but I'd absolutely have The Wombats over Jamie T, Nutini. But I'm not having them as a headliner but theg were alright on Friday night of Y Not. Little run of Reytons, Wombats and Royal Blood. You couldn't get much better than that fest for price. 1 hour ago, Hirstys 12th Pint said: Sounds like a repeat of the Jamie T set if remove Sheila, Sticks and Stones and Zombie.

I’d lose my mind if VW headlined, absolutely terrific band and great live! sadly though, reckon we’ll be stuck with Reytons and a crowdful of Stone Island. Ah well, nothing cooler than listening to a band of blokes around 40 writing songs as though they’re wagging school at 14 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted Thursday at 08:14 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:14 AM "Wagging School" sounds like a punk off-shoot from 1980. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernSoul52 Posted Thursday at 08:39 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:39 AM The Reytons still feels vaguely unhinged to me, in the same way Courteeners playing stadium gigs nowhere but Manchester does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernSoul52 Posted Friday at 03:08 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 03:08 PM I like this idea, though I don't know if that means they have little teasers there or if the fella from The Reytons will actually serve me an iced finger at The Depot.
