Tramlines 2011 – Sunday
The third and final day saw saw festival goers in even better spirits than the previous few days thanks in no small part to the scorching temperatures.
Tramlines 2011 – Saturday
Day two at the countries biggest free music festival was even bigger than day one; Division Street was impossible to navigate thanks to hoards of people and the main stage had finally opened their doors. Just like yesterday though, all across the city there was a host of amazing music on offer. And ALL of it was free.
Tramlines 2011 – Friday
Day one of the ‘free for all’ festival started fantastically. Although the quietest of the three days, Barkers Pool drew a massive crowd and venues up and down division street were packed; people in Bowery were stood on the stairs. Even the long queues outside some of the venues didn’t damper the good spirits of the punters as ‘queue beers’ were passed around amongst total strangers.
