Glasgow Summer Sessions

[kingcrawler]

Admiral Fallow are supporting Kings of Leon as well.

Bought a ticket for Saturday, should be a good day out. Main reason I bought a ticket though wasn't for Avicii, Tinie and definitely not for GBX..........Personally I think Steve Aoki will hand all there arses to them on a plate!

Im not a fan of dance music really but out of that lineup that would definitely be the best guy playing, especially cos i've heard Tinie is poor live

[Stuart1000]

The full lineups for each day are now on the Glasgow Summer Sessions website. Pretty much what we already knew:

15th August - Kings of Leon + The Courteeners + Admiral Fallow

17th August - Avicii + Tinie Tempah + Steve Aoki + GBX Experience

20th August - Eminem + Kendrick Lamar + Earlwolf + Yelawolf + Chance the Rapper

Seems odd the lack of supports for the first two shows but then a lot more for the Eminem date. Pretty sure I read somewhere that the music was going to begin at 6pm for each show. That would mean relatively short sets for the Eminem support acts, no?

I'd expect two support bands for a club gig, putting something like this on and trying to convince people it's a festival vibe while only having two support bands is pathetic.

tinie's very good live i thought personally and Avicii will out power Aoki I'm sure.

Them two should be T sticks on's next year

They really have messed up with this, haven't they? A few solid support acts announced alongside the main headline act would have secured a sell out for every night.

I agree the KOL date is lacking a bit but the Avicii/Tinie date gets away with it because they will both be getting full sets so 2 supports is enough

My guess for the set times if they all start at 6 will be:

Admiral Fallow - 6-6:45 The Courteeners - 7:15-8:15 KOL - 8:45-10:45

GBX - 6-6:45 Steve Aoki - 7-7:45 Tinie - 8:00-9:15 Avicii - 9:30-11

Chance the Rapper - 6-6:30 Yelawolf - 6:45-7:15 Earlwolf - 7:30-8:15 Kendrick - 8:30-9:15 Eminem 9:30-11

Obviously very rough and guessing that rappers/dj will have a shorter changover time

My Hard Rock Calling ticket was £45 and for that there was three stages starting at 2pm. Even bands who play Hyde Park without pretending it's a festival have more than two support acts and make a day of it. This seems very half-arsed.

Hahahahahah I love a good hoax page

This was doing the rounds on Twitter yesterday

It's from last time he played R&L, thankfully.

[Jagerman]

I think Steve Aoki will hand all there arses to them on a plate!

This video sums up Steve Aoki http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdWggAngSow

Weapon of a man.

[devilman]

Oooh look how much energy he puts into playing some CDs. And his light show is even better than the one at the student union in Aberystwyth. Such talent must surely be worth £70 a ticket to watch live.

to be fiar a lot of the hyde park stuff was dire.... we were wishing we were still queuing instead

[Gingo]

Well this is start of it tonight so we can hear reports of how it was set up, sound levels, crowd etc.

Edit: Nevermind, noticed it might be wrong.

Eminem setlist from Pukkelpop up on setlist.fm looks spectacular

[Stuart1000]

Very similar to the set he's been doing for the last 3yrs to be fair (not that I was expecting anything different)

He's not played Mosh, My Name Is, Real Slim Shady or Without Me for ages, Mosh especially is one which im looking forward to seeing, theres not really many other songs he could add to that set that would make it much better tbh

I'm not a massive fan of his but it does look like a cracking setlist. White America is one of my favourites of his.

KOL apparently done both Trani and Holy Roller Novocaine which would have been great. Seems like a good few songs shorter than Murrayfield a couple years ago though

all i see as different really is my name is, the real and without me as separate songs. and no one needs to hear without me anyway, sums up one of the worst he's ever done.

[GazzaScotland]

My Name Is/Real Slim Shady/Without Me is still the melody and not the full versions.

[Jagerman]

Not enough material from the slim shady lp for my liking, also no Drug Ballad, probably my favourite Eminem song.
