Kings of Leon

Queens of the stone age 

FOo fighters 

 

Foo Fighters are playing Hampden in June.

I'd love QOTSA, and it would fit in if a announcement is imminent with their Glasgow show this week but I don't know if DF/TRNSMT sees them as a fit for the festival

Blur?

It wouldn't surprise me tbf, can see them at TRNSMT or summer sessions Glasgow 

[Shootenanny!]

Having a guess at some acts, based on who may touring and TRNSMT loving repeat bookings:

Kings of Leon, Catfish and the Bottlemen, The Killers, Nile Rodgers & Chic, Jess Glynne, The Snuts, Kaiser Chiefs, Jamie Webster, Callum Beattie, The Reytons, Dylan John Thomas, Brooke Combe, Rianne Downey

Hope we find out soon!

Biffy Clyro put up on their Insta that announcements are coming soon. Could see them at TRNSMT or Summer Sessions.

Yeah Brandon Flowers' comments about wanting to make more things like Pressure Machine than the stuff the band is primarily known for made me wonder if and that they dumped a new album they had been working on made me wonder if they were either going to go on hiatus or do another slow-burn album like PM. So to see them pivot to a big greatest hits album and big tour is a bit of a surprise.

I get the sense from an interview he did with Consequence of Sound that - much like Direct Hits - it is a contractual thing in terms of a release, which makes it more surprising they'll tour again next year. I have a quiet fear that it could effectively be a farewell tour, or at least a faux-farewell tour ahead of a prolonged hiatus.

There seems to be... if not peace, then acceptance that Dave and Mark will only chip in as and when it suits them, on both sides of the debate, so I wonder if Brandon and Ronnie are now simply divided on where to go. (Not based on anything but a hunch, but I imagine Ronnie loves the anthemic records more than, say, a second stab at Pressure Machine territory.)

Boy and Your Side of Town feel both more like they could be from The Desired Effect than The Killers though. It's a weird one.

Just got selling their equipment it seems, they do seem overdue another appearance though 

[gordo1701]

Holly Humberstone is playing Edinburgh in March so I can easily picture her being on the main stage at some point. Declan McKenna is also playing Glasgow then too so he’ll most likely make an appearance too. 
 

Can’t really see who else can be headlining that hasn’t headlined before but only time will tell. Surely Sam Fender will be sitting this one out? Him headlining after appearing as a special guest the year before wasn’t really much of a change of set & this is coming from someone who loves Sam Fender. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Yeah, Sam Fender being back so soon definitely feels like it could oversaturate the market there.

[DomDom1984]

Sam Fender is NOT playing four years in a row in high spots. Don't think even T did that at their worst, and they were definitely worse than TRNSMT for this stuff.

[DomDom1984]

Anyone else thinking Fall Out Boy might turn up here? I don't think they're too hard going for TRNSMT but still think it might be a bit of a push. Think it could be a VERY good booking if they go for it though.

How close will TRNSMT be to Download? As it stands, that's the latter's only date, though it may well be that the exclusivity clause prevents any other UK shows.

Download surely used a big carrot to convince them to fly over for a one-off gig.

They’re in with a shout, but there’s also Edinburgh, Glasgow & Stirling Summer Sessions so they might play one of those. Hopefully get an announcement next week

[DomDom1984]

There won't be Summer Sessions in Glasgow. They'll continue to have the stadium tours turn up at Bellahouston instead I reckon. It'd probably be too late in the summer anyways if FOB are doing the early to mids. 

Did think about Download maybe not wanting to share headliners though.

They've confirmed they're doing a Glasgow summer sessions. May be at a smaller scale than past years and may not even be at Glasgow green, as other announced summer sessions gigs seem to be much smaller acts (however in smaller cities than Glasgow)

[NorthernSoul52]

Could Summer Sessions be more a curated line-up of shows in smaller venues?

[fraybentos1]

Surely they’ve at least tried to get Dua Lipa for this? Clearly about next June/ July in Europe.

 

Someone said elsewhere on this forum that they’d asked Coldplay too I think, but they seem too big for trnsmt 

[NorthernSoul52]

If these were the days of T in the Park, I'd wholly assume so. But... not sure TRNSMT would.

Meh

That's pretty strong tbf! Though Courteeners have been there every year it feels like at this point 

[fraybentos1]

Pretty awful imo.

Liam Gallagher again despite playing the hydro a month before.

Does anyone care about GC anymore?

 

[Goer190]

It's strong but uninspiring. 3rd time LG has headlined  

[Burritomancer]

What a dire lineup. 

[kingcrawler]

It's not for me at all but I think that's a perfect set of headliners for their demographic. Gerry is on the way down now but Courteeners presumably on his day will make sure it sells out. 

[Jayden2304]

Completely embraced the dark fruit indie lot there, absolutely dire. Was debating between this and 2000 trees and this has made my decision much easier. Im sure enter shikari will be doing trees now so only really tldp and declan mckenna (and I guess courteeners) I care about missing

[stanh]

Pretty uninspired, but very strong. 2 Scottish legends + LG, reckon it'll sell out pretty fast.
