  1. It’s taken 39 pages but finally a thread about a Scottish music festival has descended into sectarian chat. Good work folks!

    Back to the last headliner... I’m running out of ideas since Muse aren’t playing anywhere apparently.

    Since they aren’t playing Reading, do we think Royal Blood could feesibly headline with a decent support?

    So if you have to do a good guess, who do you think will headline Edinburgh and the other dates?

    For Glasgow, I still think Calvin Harris and Foo Fighters. Probably Kings of Leon too.

    Edinburgh is harder because of the smaller capacity and the fact that Kelvingrove has so many bands booked that won’t play both.

    I’m just praying they’ve snapped up Arcade Fire since they are in Europe at the start of August anyway.

    congratulations!

    You've won first prize in our "marketing isn't the same as real life" competition. :D

     

    :lol:

    I wish it was purely the hype machine but I know real people who claim that the Foo Fighters are the best live band they’ve seen. Makes me worry about them now that I finally subjected myself to almost 3 hours of a Dave Grohl vanity show. 

  4. So in the Edinburgh evening news this morning, some good news (hopefully) for us Edinburgh lot!

    Up to eight open-air shows will be staged in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle under a new series of “Summer Sessions” gigs in August. The organisers of the T in the Park and TRNSMT festivals have confirmed they will be staging shows in the arena for the first time in over a decade. British pop diva Paloma Faith has already been confirmed as the first act for the line-up for the shows at the Ross Bandstand”

    What the hell is going on with UK festivals?  That is absolute garbage from Reading.

    Foreign festivals just wiping the floor with the shite we are putting out this year. 

    Most other European countries have 1-3 festivals sharing the big touring bands. The UK splits them over so many little festivals when Glastonbury doesn’t hoover them all up. It’s frustrating because it means either travelling abroad or going to several, over priced, weak UK ones.

    Twitter has lost Glasgow and their handle is now just SummerSessions too. I think it’ll more likely be a run of stadium/open air shows by 1 artist.

    New logo, to avoid the Facebook link above.

    They’ve just changed Facebook too. Very intriguing!

  7. The Facebook page is still called Glasgow Summer Sessions and has the location as Glasgow so I doubt it’s moving. Maybe a day in Edinburgh at a push but I doubt that too. 

    Many guesses for headliners? Calvin Harris, Foo Fighters and Green Day (after last time) would be my vague early prediction.

    funnily enough, Scotland had something put on the by organiser of APE.

    It was called Rockness. It died a death due to lack of Scottish support.

    Matey who put on events in Scotland headed south, to where there's an audience.

    (in case you've missed it, Jim King is the guy in charge of APE).

    To be honest I totally forgot who organised Rockness!

    It’s a shame that Rockness has died as it was a cracking festival the times I went. Although if I remember right, I’m fairly sure the last line up was atrocious.

    The transport options to Rockness weren’t the best and this is a major problem with Scottish festivitals in general (see T in the Park’s recent issues).
