Well that saves me some money
Kasabian on a Saturday is a good booking though, should sell out instantly.
The others are a bit odd, especially Rag N Bone Man as he played the same place at Hogmanay.

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.
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.

Had you never listened to Foo Fighters before you saw them live?
Yes. It was more disapointment due to hearing loads of people say that they are incredible live when they just aren’t.

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”

Foo Fighters are pretty boring live.
Not as boring as Kings of Leon but still surprisingly dull.

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.

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.

I’m glad the Perth line up isn’t my cup of tea as I really couldn’t be bothered doing that then LCD Soundsytem in Glasgow on the Sunday.
The line up so far does seem a bit underwhelming considering the hype and concept.
-
Noel Gallagher and his birds are playing Perth in May as part of BBC’s Biggest weekend so that probably (finally) rules him out of TRNSMT

Fairly sure I've said this before, but can Rag N Bone Man not just f**k the f**k off?
I walked past the tent he was playing at Rock Werchter last year and it was absolutely rammed. I just don’t get it.

Think they only played TRNSNT just last year.
Yes they did. Ignore me
-
The Kooks have just been announced for NOS Alive.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they were playing the AM day at TRNSMT (if it exists)
-
Arcade Fire are headlining Way Out West in Sweden (9-11 August) so there’s still a chance of them still being around for Reading and Leeds.
-
I’m pretty certain they won’t play but the timings do work!
Anyway, they’ll probably play Reading/Leeds (they are back in europe at the end of August too)
at least we will have Snow Patrol to look forward to instead...

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).
-
If only that new event at Scone was put on by the organisers of All Points East. Scotland desperately needs something “alternative” like that.
-
Yeah, still strange though considering Liam Gallagher was announced for TRNSMT a few weeks ago and now IOW but The Killers (assuming they are playing) haven’t yet.
Anyway, they were great at The Hydro so depending on the support I would probably go.

Very true but the same artist, playing the same bit of grass, only 8 months apart is still a bit strange!
