Tramlines Festival in 2015 (Gary Mather / Live4ever)
Tramlines and Truck are two more UK festivals to have taken the inevitable decision to cancel their plans for 2020.
The two Superstruct events – which between them had artists such as Catfish & The Bottlemen, Madness, Dizzee Rascal and Bombay Bicycle Club due for appearances – have released similar statements which confirm their intentions to return in July 2021.
“Firstly, we want to share a heartfelt thank you from the whole team for your patience and messages of support while we work through this difficult situation, it really does mean the world to us,” Tramlines’ statement reads.
“We’d also like to take this opportunity to offer our thanks for the continued dedication and hard work of all the NHS teams, key workers and volunteers in trying to combat this horrible pandemic.”
“We would like to assure you that we have delved into all possible options to try and make this year’s Tramlines possible. However, unfortunately, after a full review with the relevant local authorities; and in the best interests and safety of our festival-goers, artists, staff, suppliers and the emergency services; we are truly sorry and heartbroken to confirm that Tramlines Festival will not be able to take place this year.”
“Looking forward, Tramlines will now take place on the 23rd – 25th July 2021.”
