Sting on the Pyramid, then?

Him doing Police stuff would be a legend option...

I can see them Subbing the other stage, or 3rd on pyramid. Unsure where/when they played last.

Are the prodigy dates out yet? Can't see on their website...

The post on social media didn't commit to a date, it just said to "stay tuned for future live date announcements"

Giant pair of scissors as the Pyramid artwork confirmed.

Very poor female representation on some of these lineups. Especially from TRNSMT who have received flack about this before.

I swear the TRNSMT booker has openly said he doesn't give a shit

[scatteredscreens]

TRNSMT line ups are uninspired tosh anyway - bar a handful of acts it's typical festival filler you see everywhere else whipped together so seeing a lack of representation whilst shit doesn't surprise me.

[CaledonianGonzo]

TRNSMT doesn't even really qualify as a festival. It's just a big gig.

Candida is back in the Pulp lineup, so there's your representation.

I know you're being ironic, but I was waiting for you-know-who to say it with a straight face.

Bar for quality of line ups has been set very very low so far.

Feels like there aren't heaps of great acts on the circuit next year - not too shocking given pretty much everyone did 2022 fests

[Crazyfool01]

North America in July … possible ?

Should he? There are a multitude of factors as to why some line-ups lean heavily more towards male acts. Availability, affordability, gender demographics in certain genres, etc. The latter is definitely a thing in rock. R&L have tried to address this in recent years, but by doing so they've had to book acts from outside their traditional genres because, for whatever reason, women just don't have as much of a presence in indie/alternative rock as men do. It's like how there aren't too many white acts on the Wireless line-up, because Wireless books artists of genres in which black people have had much more of a presence.
