Red Day

I've got a fair few years on you and trust me age has plenty to do with it. As much as I can listen to new music it doesn't have same appeal as all the great rock I grew up with along with stuff like Radiohead, The National, Primal Scream etc. I'm no fan of hip hop, pop and electronic and you quite rightly highlight that this does reduce the appeal to me, which is exactly the point I was making. Just for your info the highlight for me on the bill is Idles. along with King Gizzard, Spiritulized, Code Orange, and possibly Caribou. If folks like yourself love it then I'm genuinely happy for you as that's what love music and festivals are all about and this is the right place to discuss these things.

I'd hazard a guess I'm possibly a bit older than you and have listened to more genres than you'd imagine. The headliners and the vast majority of the undercard does the square route of zero for me but if the young guns are happy with it, I'll leave to them

You know when you're getting old when you see a line up like that and struggle to think of a half dozen acts you'd bother going to see. Vast majority of things on there are a complete mystery to me.

That’s a fair assessment. 40 quid on vinyl is outrageous. Been a few recent releases on vinyl that have taken the piss with the prices they’re currently charging. I got that last Judas Priest double for 25 which is fair enough.

That’s your opinion and you’re entitled to it but don’t start criticising anyone because they don’t follow your opinion.

And who on earth are you to suggest I’m the ‘problem’ . You must believe your opinon is all that matter. And how can you loudly proclaim I have no idea of costs. You don’t know me

That new Mastodon album is class. The new Biffy one is a decent enough listen but I’m still not convinced they’re the correct choice as a Download headliner. Really poor crowd last time and quite a cheap option.

Don't think Adele particularly likes playing live shows, or at least she didn't. I get she's talented and can write a fair break up tune, but the thought of watching her live makes me shudder. Would be on the same utter boredom sphere as coldplay surely.

TRNSMT in Scotland is held at Glasgow Green and there's been other gigs at the same location on the lead up and after the festival using the same stage etc. MC seen to still be advertising as a Weds-Sat festival and need to let people know what's happening soon to get travel and accommodation booked.

Are we thinking it's definitely going to be a new site location next year. We haven't booked accommodation yet based on the hint it might change site.

See Billie Eilish just announced for Glastonbury in June. Not my thing but probably one of the missing headliners

Suppose that's the thing with line ups. Some love certain days and others find them dull. I find Sunday really weak and not for me at all.

For me the Friday is average and not overly fussed about seeing Kiss if they're only one on. Saturday is by far and away best day and there's loads of potential clashes. Sunday doesn't do it for me and I'll definitely have left after either Myles or Korn

According to FB page something being announced at midnight

Hope it doesn't happen, but there's always a band or two cancel Bella. From Cage the Elephant to the Young Knives over recent years. At a guess who will cancel at short notice. My guess... The Wailers
