Expected, though perhaps not utterly horrendous.

I think spiritualized, John Grant, fat whites is surprisingly mainstream given what Pulp must have cost. And it looks like there's another similar act "TBA". Who would you have in mind, just out of interest? I'm going to try for a Friday ticket.

 

The Saturday has some "name recognition" but they aren't acts you'd be too bothered about watching eg rizzle kicks, future heads. Ps I have absolutely no clue who the Reytons are, I personally think Franz ferdinand should have chucked it but surely they're "bigger" than Reytons! 

 

I personally doubt the much of the usual Tramlines crowd has ever heard of John Grant or Fat White Family, and will maybe recognise Spiritualized.

I honestly think it will be packed on Friday, with people getting in early to get a good spot for Pulp, and a good proportion will enjoy the support acts. 

 

 

Think it's less likely people will take a half day for bands they don't know, or pay £8 a pint when they can stay in one of the pubs in Hillsborough.

 

No doubt it will be getting busy after 6, but i just don't see it beforehand unless the Special Guests knock it out.

Last year craft ales were 6.50-7, if I recall correctly. Also, not everyone is after getting bladdered.

I'd be perfectly ok with a quieter site for acts such as Spiritualized. I'm a big fan but honestly they're not a great festival band these days.

If they are indeed subbing, they'll be on around 6.30, which will catch the after work influx. Also I think they'll have quite a bit of a nostalgia pull from Sheffielders. Getting food will be the biggest nightmare, based upon last year. 

 

What I'm really hoping is that they allow Pulp a full 2 hours, like they did for Paolo Nutini last year.

I listen to a lot of music and go to a lot of Gigs and I have never heard of John Grant or Baxter Dury but will certainly get up to speed before July.  My Son is into Fat White Family so aware of them.

I mean, it'd be dumbf**kery of the highest order to make the biggest booking in festival history, hometown heroes coming towards the end of their run, and then cut their time..

Agreed, but the usual headline slot is 90 mins. PN really did not need 2 hours either!
