FestivalJamie Posted Tuesday at 06:57 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 06:57 PM Saturday and Sunday line up is pretty great! Friday is not great at all though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenfire Posted Tuesday at 06:57 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 06:57 PM I’m not sure there’s many folk who’ll be rushing for a weekend ticket. Wild line up. That Saturday is cracking though. Very surprised that Fender is about and they didn’t/couldn’t book him. Wonder if he was meant to be Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom1984 Posted Tuesday at 06:57 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 06:57 PM KoL ain't supporting anybody. And I still think Fender sees three dates in Newcastle as covering things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a honking day out at Glasgow Green anyway regardless who is on. Too many bampots. Gracie Abrams is huge on tiktok & instagram . 40 mil monthly listeners . Quite a strong booking!

I quite like Saturday / Sunday but it is a wild mix of acts. Some good bookings in there but it’s just all a bit over the place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some good bookings in there but it’s just all a bit over the place I remember Geoff Ellis said in an interview a few years ago that they do this on purpose to split ticket sales across multiple days so they always have indie, rock, pop, dance. Which makes sense from a ticket sale perspective but makes it worse for the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frazzlef50 Posted Tuesday at 07:20 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 07:20 PM Some of these acts like the script, twin Atlantic and the kooks just seem to cycle the lineup every 2/3 years without ever doing anything of note to warrant a return. I like all 3 of those but at what point is it too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom1984 Posted Tuesday at 07:27 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 07:27 PM The Script haven't played since 2017. The Kooks always seem to be on the same sort of slot though. Think this is their fourth go. This is only Twin Atlantic's second go too. Only thing that made The Script predictable was previous history from T in the Park.

Benjsh Posted Tuesday at 07:50 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 07:50 PM The Saturday looks good at least. The Friday and Sunday are an absolute calamity though. No idea who books this festival but they have had an absolute shocker here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefski Posted Tuesday at 07:51 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 07:51 PM (edited) Wow, Saturday aside that just makes other festivals like Victorious or the Come Together gigs looks stronger, they've surely had some drop outs or couldn't agree terms with a few they were after. I don't see many clamouring for Snow Patrol or 50 Cent as a headliner in 2024-25 Edited Tuesday at 07:52 PM by Chiefski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfa Posted 18 hours ago Report Share Posted 18 hours ago Dire this Stacked so weirdly as well - Saturday is going to sell out very fast. Underworld, Wunderhorse and Kooks all have some decent selling power I reckon Wonder why sunday has so few names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trnsmt is so weird, they had Courteeners and George Ezra headline then sub the next time they played, then they do the reverse with Snow Patrol. Bizarre.

Could see him doing Murrayfield, maybe with KoL in support Hmmm I suspect that would've been announced when he announced his London and Newcastle stadium dates.

iammcculloch Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago I do find it bizarre that DF haven't booked Sam Fender, Olivia Rodrigo, Noah Kahan or KoL for a big Scotland show. Four massive names and you got none? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRNSMT sells well with recycled indie bands and is only like 50k, so theres little point in splashing out i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DF have even cancelled Connect which would’ve suited a few of these acts more. They don’t need to fork out on big acts because they know they’ll sell tickets on being the only large Scottish festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingcrawler Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago I’m not sure Kings of Leon would sell more tickets for TRNSMT than even Biffy Clyro or Snow Patrol these days. I would imagine they tried for Noah Kahan, Sabrina Carpenter types but as others have said, they’re possibly too expensive. It definitely won’t sell as quickly as last year but it’ll still do fine just because of the core demographic of teenagers going regardless of the lineup.
