Maybe. Foos were the big shout for GSS but this first weekend puts them back in the reckoning here.

Would they nix an arena date for a sub? That's the sort of thing they only do for headliners init? Not that I think they could headline given they were support for Biffy last year.

Yeah you're probably right, was just a passing thought.

Foo's are a good shout though, could well be the reason the main weekend is earlier as much as the orange walk stuff.

Opens up a lot more possibilities for acts with the main weekend earlier wouldn't be surprised if depeche mode or the national had their own night now. Wouldn't be surprised if they had a pop headliner as well now

Depeche Mode can't do either weekend, think The National could well be a sub though. I agree on the pop headliner too, Bruno Mars is about and could be an option, 5 days is quite expensive if they all appeal to similar crowds so having something a bit different could work well.

The Orange order seem to take priority over everything in Scotland :sorry:

I'd say DF seems to have done pretty well out of it.

Cos it looks to me that they bargained swapping weekends for having an extra couple of big shows, which means with the shared infrastructure costs they should be significantly more-profitable shows.

More interesting will be what TRNSMT decide to do with the dates going forwards. Do they run the fest on Glasto weekend and get access to the same acts but lose some of their potential audience, or do they push it to the weekend the other side of the bowler-hatted twats?

Yeah it certainly looks like they used the situation to their advantage.

Is that the same weekend as Community & the Liam Gallagher Finsbury thing? Like literally the exact days (with both Finsbury and here missing the Saturday?). It's Download that 2nd weekend too no?

EDIT: Oh im and idiot, assumed it was just the first weekend and then they added 2 days on the second weekend, but I think they planned it for 6/7/8 but then that march thing is planned right?

 

Still don't think Foos can make it for this, they have Rock am Ring on too close to the first weekend and tour dates for the later one (unless they do the Friday of the first week but I think it is unlikely). However, GnR could definitely fit in (after/before Download) and Liam is a good shout for the Sunday of the second weekend perhaps.

Download is 3 weeks before the first of these weekends .

Interested to see how this all comes together. Especially if Foos are involved. Do we think there'll be multiple stages for the 2nd weekend, or just Summer Sessions in July and different location?

 

Foo Fighters

Liam Gallagher

The Killers

///

Florence + the Machine or QOTSA

Gorillaz

 

Would be fine with me.

Seen on another forum someone saying they've heard: Killers, Stereophonics / Liam Gallagher, Arctic Monkeys and then the following weekend is dance music...

Anyway, my guess is:

Foos / Killers / Noel 

Liam / QOTSA joint with Phonics 

 

If DF were gonna do a dance event, I don't believe they'd put it under the TRNSMT banner. One of the main things about it was the move back to a rock oriented line up.

As for your prediction it looks sensible enough apart from QOTSA/Stereophonics which doesn't really make much sense as a pairing. If Queens of the Stone Age needed another band then someone like Jack White or Nine Inch Nails - or more realistically Royal Blood :( - would be smart with Stereophonics playing support to one of the other days.

Agreed, don't really believe it but just passing on what I seen. Yeah, Royal Blood sub to QOTSA and Stereophonics under Liam would make more sense actually.

Think the Foo Fighters are still unlikely. I'm guessing they'd need at least a full week to transport their tour rigs back to the States.

Well, if their first show is on the 7th of July, they can play the 29th or 30th of June and still have a full week. TBH I think they could play any of the dates on that first weekend and still get back in time.

I don't think think there is much chance of Noel or QOTSA/Phonics topping the bill.

Not really they’ve been marching the same weekend for as long as most of us were born through the city centre and ending up at the green.

There was no chance they were going to move dates or location.

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
