DF playing their usual game of not announcing the lineup until their scheduled Scottish gigs have passed.
This week alone you’ve got Charli XCX and Fontaines DC playing The Hydro. Sam Fender is next week.
If Charli is doing it, I imagine we’ll get a Brat themed ‘trnsmt’ poster tonight at her show teasing her like they did for her Parklife announcement.
I can see Fontaines DC getting a “special guest” billing but can’t see them headlining - they don’t fit the TRNSMT crowd unfortunately. Maybe on a Sam Fender headline day. Also see that they’ve just announced a Newcastle headline show on TRNSMT weekend so they’re around.
They do have some absolute bangers, just not the sort which will get a Sunday afternoon boogie/singalong going (Shout, Head over heels, Seeds of Love, Mad World, Women in Chains, Pail Shelter, Everybody want to rule the world...)
I think this is going to become the norm and I hate it. Very predatory to wait for all the people that have to travel but don't have an alternative to buy tickets.
