It was reduced this year due to Covid, my info came direct from the event operations manager when he was driving us round the site on the build.

Also several articles in the press also state the same.

i wouldnt believe tabloids and having been involved with event and knowing the man himself i can tell you that there were more than 50k there.even though it was hugely busy a great time was had.hope you did as well.

[jump]

I'm shocked IOW got 50k people in let alone 120k with that line up.

[Shootenanny!]

Kasabian have been announced to support Liam Gallagher in Glasgow so that'll rule them out of TRNSMT anyway.

[Hips]

Manics be more likely to open up at the Guns’n’Roses gig.

How much do day tickets usually cost?

Like 70 with the fees

[DomDom1984]

Was kinda hoping for Imagine Dragons at this, but the Sunday looks like the only possible for them, and fuck getting a day ticket for that.

I think Easy Life might be a bit higher than 6th down, they are subbing Truck

[Mr Carbohydrate]

Not exactly a mega announcement but have the stage splits 

[fraybentos1]

Nothing new there for me but the Friday Saturday already looked ideal and already got tickets anyway

very solid imo

[kingcrawler]

I was planning on going to The Strokes/Foals day but realised yesterday that I have a wedding to attend that day, so unfortunately I’ll have to miss Julian and the lads. It’s a solid lineup overall though as others have said, a few more interesting bookings than some previous TRNSMT lineups.

[the wonderwhy]

Is that Jimmy Eat World on at the same time as Foals?

I think the King Tut’s headliner is mostly on during the gap between the main stage headliner and sub but yeah, there most likely will be some crossover and obviously it makes it tricky to get a good spot for both. I think they had the same clash in 2020.

[betharm]

Definitely considering a Saturday ticket. Tesco have just stopped doing the 15% discount on Ticketmaster vouchers, annoying as that knocked off those ridiculous Ticketmaster fees. 

[gfa]

They really messed up the days with this one - they did a ticket update and sat/sun day tickets are only about 70% sold out on the graphic.

Sam Fender and Foals should have been swapped I reckon.
