I'm using "TRNSMT acts" as a pejorative. I don't think regressive, meat and potatoes rock (like Noel and Biffy) fits the remit. Chemical Brothers played both, The Strokes could play both- either would arguably suit Connect better. Pulp are playing TRNMST but should (tour schedule notwithstanding) be at Connect. @Mezhyp1 No denial of Fever Ray or Arca I see. 👀😄

So it will be the same site? I thought they were being a bit coy about not specifiying a location (apart from "Scotland") for 2023. Disappointed about The Strokes, YYYs & Aphex. They're all a good fit and would draw a crowd. Fever Ray and Arca are also at Field Day and would be forward thinking bookings, although simultaneously would have almost no pulling power whatsoever in Scotland. I'm baffled at names like Noel Gallacher and Biffy Clyro being mentioned here. Not sure what the point of this festival would be if they just book TRNSMT acts.

Yeah but also, GNR are odds on with the bookies while RHCP are 33/1- longer than Oasis (a band who don’t actually exist). 🙂

GNR also have to fulfil an outstanding Glasgow date after they cancelled in the summer, so it would make sense to tie it in with Arctic Monkeys Bellahouston Park date on the 25th to use the same site.

The email said the app replaces the card. It was always card + wristband when entering the site previously; now it’ll be app + wristband presumably. No real change there.
