[ConnorSMFC]

Pretty gutted myself that they didn't go for the Green Day/System of a Down double bill that they could have went for because of Reading and Leeds. I would have happily paid for that. Anyway looks like the Summer Sessions is just the same as T in the Park more crap that Geoff will proclaim as being the best he can get and not to a demographic. If it continues next year and more days are added instead i'd be happy to see an increase in other bands that they wouldn't normally choose for T in the Park.

The funny thing is if they had got Eminem, KoL and Avicii it would have been a better lineup than what we have for TITP atm, well maybe not Avicii headlining but even on the bill

I'd agree Eminem would be better because i actually like some of his stuff but Kings of Leon? Really... They fit in with The Killers, Snow Patrol and Kasabian headlining T as being the same headliners repeated. Also in general Kings of Leon are just a terrible band.

Compared to Mumford and Sons and Rihanna they are definitely better, they would have been a shit booking though

Avicii's latest set from EDC Las Vegas this past weekend. I'm not his biggest fan but I really like his new stuff he's playing, seems to have got a lot of really good singers on his new album. http://www.1001tracklists.com/tracklist/30944_avicii-at-electric-daisy-carnival-edc-las-vegas-united-states-2013-06-23.html

[WHO ARE YOU?]

Any rumours of KOL support acts?

[Gingo]

Talking about supports noticed Chance the Rapper has been added for Eminem

[kingcrawler]

Any rumours of KOL support acts?

The Courteeners are supporting them.

[Paulk2904]

Got a ticket for Avicii this morning not his biggest fan nor do I particularly like tinie tempah but alot of my mates are going and sounds like a great day out.

From what I seen of him at tomorrowlands Avicii will be a good old school party atmosphere.

Just need to hope its not full of wee pish throwing fannies like I suspect it will be.

[Stuart1000]

Anyone else get the feeling these shows aren't selling well at all? DF Concerts are essentially spamming social media with advertising, they're now offering VIP upgrades and have created a 'Golden Ticket' to get you in to all 3 shows at a discount.

[JamesT977]

And the fact that "Extra" tickets were released for Eminem makes it seem all a bit strange.

[blue6field]

Seems DF aren't having the best of summers

maybe force a rethink about what their customers are willing to pay "Premium Prices" for

[Stuart1000]

I think the initial Eminem sell out proves that there is a market for this kind of event in Glasgow but the acts really need to be of the highest calibre.

Even announcing a strong supporting lineup for each gig before tickets go on sale? I mean, I'm sure KoL would have sold out if there were 3-4 other solid acts playing that day (turning it into a more festival vibe, much like The Stone Roses' gig at Glasgow Green).

[Jagerman]

AVICII is the Justin Bieber of house music. If 30,000 people go to that gig ill loose faith in humanity.

At least avicii makes decent tunes even if they arent really dance whereas bieber is just fulla shite

[Jagerman]

avicii makes decent tunes

Lets just agree to disagree.

[guitarbhoy1888]

any idea if theres gonna be anymore support for KOL announced ?

i'm on the border of buying a ticket and not and i reckon another courteeners level support act would swing it for me

[Gingo]

Well when I say decent tunes I mean catchy on a night out

The Courteeners are supporting, not sure who else though.

[Gingo]

I would imagine there will be a few more added for both Avicii/Tinie and KOL since Eminem has 4

[Stuart1000]

Not sure if they'll make the rest of the supports public. Saw Robbie Williams at Hampden in June, George Bowie from Clyde 1 was DJing before he came on and he said "I'll see you at Avicii in August!" so it's been booked for a while.

[Gingo]

Surely announcing more decent supports it will help the tickets sell quicker, who knows all I know is I have my Eminem ticket so im happy

[Stuart1000]

It appears Avicii sold out this afternoon (VIP still available however so god knows how many of them there are).

Surprised some of the other acts playing V haven't been announced as KOL support. Surely Maximo Park, The Vaccines, The Fratellis and even FUN. would be easy enough to book and even shift the remainder of the tickets?
