They literally booked Chemical Brothers the year after they headlined TRNSMT

Theres also only been one year, hard to judge the festival off that. Its similar to APE who booked some massively different acts in later years to the first year e.g. Disclosure last year

I'm using "TRNSMT acts" as a pejorative. I don't think regressive, meat and potatoes rock (like Noel and Biffy) fits the remit. Chemical Brothers played both, The Strokes could play both- either would arguably suit Connect better. Pulp are playing TRNMST but should (tour schedule notwithstanding) be at Connect.

@Mezhyp1 No denial of Fever Ray or Arca I see. 👀😄

So it will be the same site? I thought they were being a bit coy about not specifiying a location (apart from "Scotland") for 2023.

Disappointed about The Strokes, YYYs & Aphex. They're all a good fit and would draw a crowd. Fever Ray and Arca are also at Field Day and would be forward thinking bookings, although simultaneously would have almost no pulling power whatsoever in Scotland.

I'm baffled at names like Noel Gallacher and Biffy Clyro being mentioned here. Not sure what the point of this festival would be if they just book TRNSMT acts.

Same is true for RHCP. And they were scheduled for Bellahouston originally. So my money is on them for the 25th.

Yeah but also, GNR are odds on with the bookies while RHCP are 33/1- longer than Oasis (a band who don’t actually exist). 🙂

GNR also have to fulfil an outstanding Glasgow date after they cancelled in the summer, so it would make sense to tie it in with Arctic Monkeys Bellahouston Park date on the 25th to use the same site.

Urghhhhhhh WHY 

The email said the app replaces the card. It was always card + wristband when entering the site previously; now it’ll be app + wristband presumably. No real change there.

Whats the difference with VIP tickets and furthermore will Kendrick day sell out in your opinion?

I wouldn’t imagine it’ll get anywhere close to a sell out.

I would like to know what the VIP ticket gets you though. What was the set up last year? Do you get access to the front, or does your extra cash just pay for an exclusive bar and fancy toilets?

The Pixies are headlining Bluedot that weekend so in the country. Surprised if that's just a one off gig, as it hasn't been announced as an exclusive.

 

My guess is they are second or third on the Radiohead day. 

 

Pixies would've been fun but they're at Bluedot on the Friday.
