It's Queen and folk at festivals love a singalong. what they won't do particularly well is sell festival tickets to their own crowd - and a festival headliner that doesn't sell tickets is the wrong headline act.

Deeps Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 I know it seems unlikely after the last few years but any chance of Radiohead headlining? Playing festivals, no Scottish date again and I would guess TITP will be the weekend after their Manchester gigs so they'd be around at that time.

devilman Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 If you wanna see Radiohead at a decent festival then look up best kept secret in Holland. It's a tiny fest and tickets are on sale soon, They won't last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i was them i would rebrand the festival too much of a ned fest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah maybe they will do Glasgow summer sessions later on. Was surprised they didn't play at the hydro as they didn't play in Scotland on their last tour. I've got tickets for Manchester as i didn't want to miss out on seeing them live. I just don't think they would appeal to the T in the park attendee now. TITP really needs a coldplay/ foo fighters to help shift tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there's no way Radiohead will headline TITP these days - if The Stone Roses pulled a shit crowd then Radiohead'a would be abysmal. Much more likely they're either playing elsewhere, or even that they just can't be arsed doing a full tour and are leaving it at this years London dates, Glastonbury and Manchester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threestripes Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 The tosser who took titp down the edm route and decided stathallan was good for a festival should get sacked and his baws booted for destroying the festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devilman Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Greenday, Radiohead and Arcade Fire all available as well as all your usual fare. Trouble is that incompetence and fuckwittery have cultivated a small crowd of school leavers and neds that just want to fight and watch Calvin Harris. Money thrown after good bands would be just wasted now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money thrown after good bands would be just wasted now. The bookings of late have followed a specific path with DJ's being the choice. The move to Strathallen was poorly managed and basically the people who would pay to see the three bands mentioned have long since sailed. I'd watch all 3 but wouldn't go back to T. Sad because I used to love the weekend but over a period of a few years Geoff and his crew made it less and less attractive so I went elsewhere.

No camping hassle for the organisers and Glasgow Green coped ok with the Roses the other year. Is it not the same folk that run the summer sessions though at Bellahouston ? Would guess that the Polis and Council would be happier for them to continue out at Bella away from the city centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

standfree92 Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Maybe the one day events will be better suited as you can tailor a bill to the acts i.e you can have a rock day and then the bams can have all there EDM push on another. Still a shame that this has happened to Scotlands biggest festival. I wonder what DF concerts would do different now with TITP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Management of the festival got transferred to FR for the last festival, presumably to use Melvin's experience to help lessen the issues with the site. I'm guessing that Melvin is going to keep that oversight, tho whether it goes as far as booking policy I'm not entirely sure. His success at 'modernising' Reading/Leeds certainly looks like something T could use tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
