Come for the overpriced warm #Brewdog, stay for the 'indie'-washed genocide. #tramlines #sheffield is now in a different galaxy than its grass roots, collective, translocal origins, and any performer worth their salt should walk away from this abhorrence. Corporate festivals suck. #FreePalestine
Correction: Superstruct - the owner of Tramlines - was acquired by KKR in June 2024. KKR is "the largest stakeholder in the conglomerate that offers housing spaces in territories belonging to the State of Palestine" and continues to invest in fossil fuel companies. @sheffcitycouncil.bsky.social
For the seventh year, my local park is turned into a faux-indie rock prison camp, courtesy of Superstruct Entertainment Ltd, the London-based, Providence Equity-backed owner of the Tramlines brand. Acres of grass fenced off and/or destroyed for Kasabian. I hate festivals, apart from mime festivals.

I mean, Keynesianism exists (laudatory) but there’s lots to invent. IMO we need to figure out how to make green, place-based, translocal economies with high coordination capacity and easy trade/migration happen. But we should all be shooting our shot.
