Went last year for 2 days and really enjoyed it. Saw Catfish for the first time in my hometown of Hull on Saturday and couldn't believe how good they are live, absolutely electric performance.

Chatting with the couple me and the wife went with last year and came to the conclusion that Glasto is a no no this year in terms of holidays and finances so we've booked the Saturday and Sunday for Trnsmt, cant wait !!

Theres six of us going, 4 of us went last year, booked an apartment less than half a mile from Glasgow Green, travelling from Hull on train. The lineup for the Sundays not the best but my friends love Ezra so couldn't say no to the second day, plus after going last year we know our way to Merchant Street for a few drinks beforehand each day. I absolutely loved the Sunday last year hitting a few bars round Glasgow before we went in to see Interpol.

Certainly plenty pubs close by if you don’t fancy some of the music. Would recommend booking a table in the winged ox, just next to the green.

Cheers mate, we found some great bars round merchant square last year, plus an amazing burger and ribs place which we’ll be heading back to this year

Don’t disagree about the pubs out in the west end but....if I was an out of towner coming in to Glasgow for Trnsmt then I reckon there is enough in the merchant city to keep anyone happy for the drinking time you’d have available.

Thats what we’ve done the last couple of years. Plenty decent places to eat too.

We loved merchant city, our apartment is 5 minutes from merchant as well so we won’t be venturing outside of there and the festival, what’s the point

I live in West End, and there are plenty cracking bars, but if you're from out of town I would probably recommend finding watering holes around Merchant City, just means you don't have the extra effort of going to West End and back.

Maggie Mays is nice for a cheap and cheerful pint, usually pretty packed on TRNSMT days. There's a decent sized Brewdog (called the Doghouse) as well, and a load of places in Merchant Square - O'Neills, etc.

If you attended TRNSMT in 2018 if you could fill out my survey that would be ace, it's for my dissertation and just need 10 more responses!

Just click the link ---> https://survey.napier.ac.uk/n/zz4oh.aspx

Thanks in advance!

Nothing to do with trnsmt but the prodigy were one of the best headliners I seen a titp.

Lost count the amount of times I saw them from early raves playing the likes of android to present day..sad news.

RIP Keith Flint....

My only festival experience with them was Gig on the Green 2002. That was supposedly them at their worst, and they were brilliant. Could believe that they were at their worst though, because at the Academy a couple of years ago, they were fucking unreal. Absolute carnage.

That would have been around the time they released Baby's Got A Temper, in fairness that was a shit song.

It was, and they also played it. Although I quite liked it, so fuck it.

Sort of, they were gonna be headlining The Other Stage with The Courteeners subbing them allegedly.

Wtf

Im just saying Eavis said he was booked to headline.

calm down 

[DomDom1984]

I'd like to think that them seeing out what they have lined up is a plan.

You said they were booked to headline which suggests you meant they were booked to headline the whole thing, which they weren't it was the second stage- obviously a big difference.

[DomDom1984]

I certainly wouldn't say Example is booked to headline TRNSMT for example.

[Threestripes]

Ok

my mistake

Booked to headline the 2nd stage 

 

very petty

[Jericode]

More accurate than petty tbh. "Headline" generally implies main stage.

Are you for real who actually cares ???

 

Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis confirmed Prodigy had been booked to headline the festival this year.

 

This is where I got it from no mention of second first third or playing in the campsite take a day off you utter fruitcakes.

Or you know, you could just go “OK fair enough” instead of getting all precious?

 

Just a thought.

Agreed. Babbity Bowster, 13th Note, Blackfriars. Loads of decent places.

Deary me

Go and read Emily's post. She said 'booked to play', no mention of headlining
