Could well be Florence and the Machine, just confirmed for Bilbao a week or two after

She’s headling BBK on Thursday 12 July. I’d guess that with Transmit looking for a headliner for the 6th of July,  FATM is a fair bet and probably the most logical guess

[Claire96]

I'd say Florence would be a pretty great headliner anyway, especially after her Glastonbury triumph filling in for Foos in 2015. 

Throw in a brilliant sub/special guest like Haim or Lorde, and it'd be shaping up to be a great Friday IMO.

Pretty disappointing tbh. That day would need a strong undercard to sell well.

I’d agree. I think the whole line up this year is so predictable with a recycling of the usual suspect from T.  I booked hotel rooms for both weekends, more in hope than expectation. Thankfully I could cancel and have already done that with exception of 6th July. If it’s Flo then that room will be cancelled as well.

Florence + the Machine would be good I think.

I could see a main stage like this:
Florence + The Machine
Bastille / Alt-J /  Lorde
Rag n Bone Man
Everything Everything
Pvris
Portugal. The Man / Fickle Friends

I'd get a ticket for that.

[Tartan_Glasto]

Haim, anywhere on the Friday would be nice. Would love to see them again and no sign of a UK tour for their new album.

[Claire96]

Haim said at the NME Awards last night they're going to be announcing UK shows "very very soon." They always go down really well at festivals, so I hope TRNSMT's got them.

Rag n Bone man and Everything Everything where in similar spots last year, I wouldn't mind a female topped Friday tbf

Florence and the Machine

Lorde

HAIM

Aye but RnBman is up a bit and would be a decent ticket seller, and EE have released a new album since then, and are always a decent festival shout.

Rag n Bone Man was awful last year.

I completely agree - but he's going to sell tickets because he's wildly popular.

Glad people are getting on the Flo  train now. I realy believe it will be her.

[Claire96]

If it's not Florence, I'm struggling to think of who else it could be. They can't be holding off this long to announce the final headliner if it's not someone that's gonna gain a lot of attention. And before Muse confirmed they weren't doing any UK shows this summer, it was between them & Florence I think?

Pretty much, 

There’s a very small chance that it will be Green Day, but I highly doubt it

may also be Panic at the disco or someone like that but I don’t think so

[Claire96]

Green Day are a shout, but I'm still thinking they might make up for their failed Bellahouston show last year & come back for Summer Sessions this August. But who knows?

[SomeoneListeningIn]

Florence is probably the best shout yeah.

Still think there's a possibility of it being Paolo Nutini, with Travis for support.

Edit - or Royal Blood.

Sorry to Interupt this thread, but I’ve been looking at TRNSMT due to the killers playing. The second weekend... is it on on the Saturday?? On the website it doesn’t mention Saturday but Fridays has TBC. I’m finding it strange it’s on on Friday and Sunday but not Sat!? Is this usual for them?

Killers on the Sunday. There is music on the Saturday but it's through the Glasgow streets, and it'll be bald, middle-aged men singing about things that happened 400 years ago.

The term you're looking for is Neanderthals

Thanx Jonesy. I love the killers and chvrches but not sure I want to travel up for a one day event. I’m on holiday the weekend before too. I appreciate you answering

When did Muse confirm that they won't be doing UK shows this summer?
Thanks
