Anyone going? Easy reach for us so don’t need to enter the “no trams available” scramble, thankfully. Great line up this year as far as I’m concerned. Just need the stamina for 3 days. Looking forward to Pulp, Rosadocs, Lathums, Scouting for Girls, Rizzle Kicks, Franz Ferdinand. Wasn’t fussed about Kasabian and was ready to give that a miss, as England game is on, but just listened to some of their stuff and may have a decision to make.
I've got a weekend ticket. I also recommend seeing The Last Dinner Party on Sunday, who are on before Kasabian. Also looking forward to Spiritualized tomorrow night, as well as Pulp.
We're going today for Pulp! Beyond excited. The last time we went, we lived in Crookes. The first two days we decided to walk back up the hill afterwards which was the daftest idea after being on our feet all day already. Thankfully, Madness were dreadful on the 3rd day, so we nipped out early and managed to get onto a bus. We've moved to the other side of Sheffield now, and whilst it's on the tram route for Hillsborough, my Mrs is driving as she can't drink. Hopefully we can get away a bit quicker than using public transport. You won't be disappointed if you stay for Kasabian @fired they're fantastic live. I've seen them 3 times over the years including at Tramlines. I even think I prefer them now with Serge fronting the band.
Did you have a good time @fired We thought it was outstanding . I still think they could get some better acts in for the price it is but the whole event is excellent
Yes, brilliant. Pulp were fantastic. Usual grumbles about paying huge amounts of £ for crap food. Transport is a joke even for us locals - ended up with a 2 mile hike uphill to home. Good to see a few Barnsley shirts knocking about. Today’s the biggie for me. Jake Bugg, Franz Ferdinand, Rosadocs, Rizzle Kicks. Would have gone to Reytons, but it’s a clash and we voted Rizzle kicks instead.
great stuff. Enjoy today! Yep Pulp were fantastic my mate and his kids had to walk home to botanical gardens
Been to tramlines today and took my 4 year old. Had a great day and seen some great music. Was also great to see so many different barnsley shirts as well from the gola ones all the way to this seasons home and goalie shirt.
Brilliant day yesterday. Getting all four of us together to be so buzzing about music was so good. We all have different tastes, but all of us have come away feeling brilliant after The Rosadocs. Rizzle Kicks waoukd have been the same if I could have seen what was going on!
The transport is nothing short of scandalous. It’s plain lazy by Sheffield City Council to not provide a service. Last night there was one tram (rammed) and one bus with a queue of about 700 people. Been to similar events at Old Trafford and there are long queue of buses and trams waiting to get folks home.
Great weekend overall. Highlights for me on each day were Pulp, The K's and The Last Dinner Party, which is pretty much what I would have expected. I was underwhelmed by The Reytons headline set, although they handled the medical emergency well. Kasabian sounded great too, The Lathums were predictably excellent and Franz Ferdinand also sounded great. My eldest daughter enjoyed The Royston Club in the Leadmill tent. We listened to it from outside while watching the Lionesses on the big screen. I drove in from Leeds each day and used the official parking at Jenx Ltd. Contrary to the local issues, this was excellent. Straight in and out on each day with little hold up and an easy walk to and from the venue. My first Tramlines, and it left a very positive impression.
Have to agree, one of the reasons we stayed clear this year. We attended Blossoms at Scarborough Open Air last month and the organisation was second to none. Shuttle busses to train station, full taxi rank etc. We parked up next to the venue and was out of Scarborough within 15 mins.
