Trnsmt 2025

I could see her high up on Tuts.

[NorthernSoul52]

Aye, that would be a decent spot for her. Will be curious to get a full flavour for the solo material.

thoughts on charli xcx doing this? hydro sold out and she's big with the kiddies

 

[DomDom1984]

Would be a pretty good booking for them i reckon. Have zero interest in it though.

I’m wondering if it’ll be launched about the same time as Spotify wrapped in some gimmick type thing

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.

Chvrches appear to have maintained considerable clout on the live circuit despite not scoring a chart/radio/streaming hit for some time, and despite numerous producers being obviously brought in to help create one. A tent in the afternoon would surely be a massive step down for Lauren? She could just say no.

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.

Travis appear to be support/subbing act of choice though I don't know how long that can last and imo isn't the right strategy for them. I say "strategy", I'm maybe talking here about a handful of gigs but it seems like a deliberate choice.

 

They were the biggest band in Britain, yes, but for only about 6 - 12 months, almost a quarter of a century ago.

 

they are playing the Hydro themselves this month and tickets, not that surprisingly, appear plentiful.

CHVRCHES have that clout. She doesn't. 

 

And the venues she's doing suggests she's in no position to say no. 

[Tunes101]

probably no chance but doing a good spell of festivals in europe next summer, green day ?? 

[DomDom1984]

Crossover with DL isn't completely unheard of (Biffy in 2017) but I can't see it happening as they do like bands to be exclusive.

Announcements this week?

Kings of Leon I guess are possible? Playing Lytham like the Strokes did in 2022.

I can think of 6 methods of torture that is better than seeing them live again

haha ano they don't have the best live reputation but theyre in the country and fit the trnsmt vibe

 

KoL Fontaines and Sam Fender would be my guess right now

[Stuart1000]

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.

[LeithRichards]

I think Charli XCX, Sam Fender and Fontaines would be good 

 

I seen on The Hyde Park thread Sabrina Carpenter is making an announcement. She’d be a cracking TRNSMT headliner 

[Chiefski]

KoL do feel kinda overdue for a trnsmt appearance tbf

Is her music in sync with what TRNSMT tends to book?

She identifies as a woman, so there's that hurdle to clear first...

 

KoL would be a honking booking but equally, on brand 🙂

Not saying Lauren *is* Chvrches as obviously not the case to those paying attention, but I would have thought to the public, generally, yes. 

 

Looks like she is appearing on Sunday Brunch which seems kind of...off.  One way or another she must have wanted to press on while the 2 chaps didn't?

Still time for her to release a mid-2000s indie album I guess.

Sebastian Carpenter covers her, I mean, his favourite AM albums on the main stage

[DomDom1984]

Lawrence Mayberry DJ set closing Tuts. 

 

NOTE: Nearly gave the game away with a genuine typo of "Tits" there.
