It was made and distributed by a thing called ‘AM Live Sessions’, and that’s why it’s plastered all over the poster init?

Still can’t believe someone screenshotted a post of a plain text prediction from here and it circulated as a leak.

Yeah, which explains why it's a touch misleading 

[tori1607]

I assume it's gonna be pretty similar to this though. 

 

[Jonesy1]

So how close to real is it? @Mezhyp1

Fake because its one of the headliners is not Bastille

It's just a touch 'misleading'

Yup, I'd guess all they've done is tries to be smart and place the Saturday headliner the opposite way around to try make it different.

its Just going to be another chart friendly festival like IOW is this year.  No massive headliners like the rest.  No real surprise. 

It'll also look better when it happens than it does now because Stormzy would have headlined Glasto by then.

I don't think that makes it look better, it makes it look a week Glasto booking I think.

No it doesn’t.  Stormzy will be a headliner, Glastonbury gave him his chance, others will follow.  No doubt he’ll be headlining R&L next year.

Everyone saying this is weak..... get used to it! Can people genuinely not see the lineups from every other festival?! 

[Jonesy1]

It is a poor year for festivals but Stormzy is a really shit booking imo. He might be headlining Glastonbury, but they aren’t relying on him to sell tickets, and they can offer plenty alternatives while he’s playing. As someone said a good few pages back, this is glesga green, not Finsbury Park.

So basically it’s right with bastille at sub? That’s the worst top end of a major uk festival I have ever seen. 

[Chiefski]

Cant wait to see the social media reaction come Monday evening, it'll sell saying that

[sisco]

Stormzy, Gerry (for the selling factor), Y&Y

CATBM, Richard Ashcroft, Bastille

Ezra, Snow Patrol, Jess Glynne

 

IOW:

NGHFB, Courteeners, Lilly Allen

Ezra, Fatboy Slim, Bastille

Biffy, Richard Ashcroft, Jess Glynne

 

Pop tastic/Chart friendly!

 

[Barnabylike]

So with the line up coming out tommorow, and 110 PAGES OF RUMOURS!!?, if you had to put a bet on it, who would you bet on being the 3 Headliners.

What you're forgetting is though that IOW has turned into a medium sized festival, none of George Ezra or NGHFB would be booked to headline a major festival at this moment...in fact they aren't. Biffy is also very much on the fringes.

I know! Hence why TRSMT is the same.  They’re all going the mid range sort of way.  Being honest I’d say only R&L and Glastonbury are big/major festivals these days.

I'm not trying to be edgy but Stormzy is probably the best thing on that poster by a good distance.

[Chiefski]

It kinda reminds me of T2007 (the first year it went three days) folk thought Arctic Monkeys, The Killers and Snow Patrol maybe weren't ready to step up at the time but they did fine, and in overall there was solid if unspectacular acts over the weekend to give a good balance, hopefully the undercard here does the same

[wishyboz6]

Snow Patrol haven’t been relevant since the late naughties. Beyond me how they can headline major festivals (although tbf they aren’t technically going to be at TRNSMT). 

Stormzy isn’t actually that good, but, if those are the headliners, then he’ll be the best act out of them. Says it all really.

fair point with relevance to stormzy n catfish, but they’re still dredging up snow patrol... (although AM and killers were headlining last year, they’ve remained relevant for over ten years and constantly snowballed in popularity) whereas snowpatrol have done absolutely nothing worth noting   

Fit into that Stereophonics category, don't they? Shouldn't be considered a headliner, but have a back catalogue and can sell a few tickets

I'm not arguing that, but surely you can't deny that if Stormzy is being booked for a mid range festival then being booked for the biggest there is to play higher than sub makes it a weak booking. What he does next year is another thing right now he's essentially playing Glastonbury off of a few nights at Brixton Academy.

Snow Patrol are probably more well known now for co writing most of Ed Sheerans songs than their own band.
