Still fancy Travis for a strong third from top slot, or a sub if needed. Don't think it's too big a slot. 

With all the talk of Travis Scott in the R+L forums, I was thrown for a moment before I twigged here.

[Chiefski]

If they can have Garbage second with a strong headliner I can see them doing likewise with Travis tbf. Wouldn't be surprised if Fender does play, looks like it could be their last opportunity to have him before he hits full stadium player status.

[Leedsboi]

I'm thinking Basement Jaxx as they have no scottish date yet 

[DomDom1984]

Basement Jaxx would be a weird non headline act for TRNSMT I reckon. I'm having them at the Bandstand. 

[Leedsboi]

There live show would be to big for bandstand, as awesome as it would be there. 

 

[NorthernSoul52]

Garbage definitely benefited from a dash of homegrown - well, loosely homegrown - pull, I'd guess. So it makes sense.

I don't see Sheeran doing any non Glasto fests for a long time. I don't think Hozier is what they'll be looking for either.

 

Snow Patrol seem a good shout for a sub. I still think Kasabian on top is a realistic possibility. Would they go with The Prodigy maybe?

I agree with the Travisnplacing, could possibly even sub. Saw them supporting the Killers at the Hydro this year and the crowd reaction was superb

[NorthernSoul52]

Definitely helped reintroduce them to a few people outside of the very obvious, I'd say.

I'm surprised Sheeran is playing everywhere else in Europe next summer but nothing here yet. Would've thought he'd have some place lined up.

[NorthernSoul52]

Heard chat he does have some big shows lined up but struggling to see when they would be. Any outdoor gigs would be either in mid-July or well into football season.

 

No obligation for him to play a football stadium of course. The hometown shows in Leeds and Ipswich at the end of the Divide run were a success, but also among the very few on the tour that didn't sell out - so maybe there's a case he feels he's saturated the market too much.

[NorthernSoul52]

Mind you, he does seem content popping out of the woodwork to torment new Manchester United managers.

Presumably you can do such things when you're an Ipswich shareholder, kit designer and shirt sponsor.

Should've used his unlimited power to rip Martin Tyler's tongue out

Amorim was fuming with that

[titp07]

Was at Confidence Man at the barras last night. 

 

Really hoping they get announced to play. 

 

Fantastic as usual.

Wish I’d seen them at the liquid rooms now 

[NorthernSoul52]

Confidence Man definitely growing in clout, it seems.

I think The Prodigy might be a bit weak as the main headliner perhaps - would be great for a closing set though

Apparently Ed Sheeran has called himself "a bit of a bellend" for his antics.

 

Which I guess is as good an acknowledgment of his mistimed intervention as we're going to get.

[titp07]

Can't believe they are looking at Sam Fender again. 

 

I mean I can believe it ha. 

 

Look at Primavera's line up. Looks brilliant. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Looks suspiciously non-Dark Fruits to the average TRNSMT booker, though. It's a bit like asking a man who has drunk Carling his whole life to try a Peruvian stout for the first time.

[Tartan_Glasto]

Wonder if Lauren Mayberry will be on the line-up, maybe a wee afternoon slot. Album out next week so will likely be doing the 2025 circuit.

[NorthernSoul52]

I'd be surprised if she wasn't at some Scottish festival or another. This seems a logical shout.
