Month build up to UMF. If so I'd also guess Cream will either get them announced after UMF or there will be a big outdoor UK show as it would sell without issue. I'd not be shocked to see Ibiza grab a couple of dates either. Very random thing if not. Edited March 2, 2018 by thewayiam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still think Chvrches, FF, Killers is a fair shout for £60. I take it that isn’t sold out ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judyblue110 Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 Could it be Queen and Adam Lambert? They seem to be gradually adding dates (added Dublin this week) and there's a gap on July 6th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t be traditional Queen fans or traditional festival goers so I don’t quite know how it would sell. Not to mention, Queen could sell out these shows off their own back (with inflated ticket prices compared to TRNSMT). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan_Glasto Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Don’t know if Imagine Dragons were ever in the running for the 6th but last night they said “See you next year”. So would seem to put them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomDom1984 Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Arcade Fire were kind of dismissed, but they must be realistic by now if they're not doing anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were dismissed because they still hadn't sold out the second tier (or even standing tickets) at a Hydro gig ten weeks before TRNSMT - and still haven't. Apart from that, they are playing in Milwaukee on 8 July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I get the feeling that if they HAD been available, they'd make a more appealing headliner than an empty stage. That said, CatB are probably a more appealing prospect to DF than them.

( by not sure I mean no idea ) I couldn`t justify paying £60plus at the Hydro....on a Monday night but was hoping that I might be able to get in on the night for about half that.

It's the same maths though, if they can't shift more than 10,000 tickets for their own show it would take a hell of an undercard to make it a respectable crowd outdoors, when people have got four other days to pick and choose from at the same time. I'm not slagging them btw, and I'm going to the Hydro gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think they sold out standing across the tour on the day but have since added some more, I was just checking which site so I could find out whether there were some more somewhere for Manchester. I agree they couldn't really get away with Arcade Fire headlining Glasgow Green. Glasgow seems like a tough market for most acts so they have to really try and go as just for general type bands, so DF are probably justified if they prefer Catfish to Arcade Fire as Dom suggested they might. It's getting so late to announce anyone now though. They may be as well knocking down the prices if it is just a filler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart1000 Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 I’ll probably end up going, but it just seems such a mismatch to the rest of the lineup. Especially the supporting acts that day too, they’re clearly aiming this day at an older clientele than the other days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcrawler Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Might be an odd booking but it’s much stronger than anyone was expecting so fair play to them for that. I reckon that will sell pretty well. To be honest they’ve done a good job overall given they’ve had to scramble two extra days out of it, only the Stereophonics day seems particularly weak and even then they’ll still sell a reasonable amount of tickets.
