That just looks like T in the Park with Radiohead.

And with Chemical Bros instead of Calvin. And less EDM in general. I don't think the new festival needs to be too different overall, just a slight shift to the older demographic so that it still appeals to the mainstream and the 30+ (ish) demographic

[rawaudioinput]

With T now on a break is it possible RockNess could make a return?

[Shootenanny!]

Was looking into Foo Fighters' tour dates and as far as I can see they're in Spain and Portugal on the Thursday and Friday. Realise it's not impossible but that would suggest to me it might not be them sadly.

Day off on Saturday and headline Sunday would be the only solution to that.   Likely though all the headliners were booked up ages ago and we're just waiting on the official announcements now.

Daft Punk announcing their 10 annual tour and playing at Glasgow Green would be epic.

I did think that possibly but I noticed that Coldplay are playing Dublin on the Saturday night so they'd be headlining the Sunday if they play as suggested by the papers if Radiohead are playing the Friday.

For reference, I'd rather have Foo Fighters!

Yeah that's a fair point. It's quite difficult to pin down at the moment before we know if it's gonna be like centred around day tickets and headliners or if there's gonna be a gaggle of different, diverse stages and weekend tickets and stuff.

Think Coldplay have rejected festivals for next year as they're "not doing them".

There's a rumour that The Cure are one of the headliners alongside Radiohead but I dunno where that's come from or who the other one might be. If they're still approaching headliners now it's anyone's guess.

Could someone fill me in on what the main motivation was to move from Balado? I know the official explanation is something about a pipeline but a lot of people seem fairly sure that they could move back if they really wanted to

It was to find a cheaper alternative, the pipeline was just a soundbite to make it sound like they were forced, I can pretty much tell you this as fact.

Radiohead aren't really my cup of tea but I appreciate that they're a massive band and clearly a massive booking, so fair's fair. The Chemical Brothers or Daft Punk would be absolutely amazing, really hope they pull of a dance act of that calibre.

[rawaudioinput]

So T's demise is entirely down to poor bookings and mismanagement?

The Chemical brothers said in an interview here that they would like to return to TITP, so It's definitely a possibility.

I don't think they'd risk a dance act, even one like The Chemical Brothers, this year. It could attract some of the crowd they are hoping to leave behind at Balado.

[addicted2noise]

They'll probably share a lot of their bill with Longitude in Dublin too as its the same weekend

[xtrmntr75]

Not a massive Coldplay fan but they would shift tickets to the mainstream masses. Coldplay and Radiohead as headliners would be some statement of intent.

[DomDom1984]

With the whole "looking to appeal to T fans of old", what are the chances that we see Prophets of Rage on there?

[Alan_C]

Seeing people like Radiohead and The Cure (if true) linked with this, has really got me interested. I'd only do one day with a new born and 3 other gigs already in the space of 6 weeks, but I'd definitely be interested if they are aiming for them type of bookings.

Rubbish.  The land owner at Balado is currently undertaking legal action against HSE, as a result of the festival having to move due to their restrictions.

[Threestripes]

Hopefully bands like happy Mondays,inspiral carpets,green day madness and primal scream are in with a shout.

Only dance act I would like to see anywhere near this would be faithless or daft punk.

Cocktail cocktail is a must

Get the Streetrave boys involved with there own tent,forget slam.

Book avicci CH and David Guetta at the hydro for the the same weekend.

 

sorted.....

If Depeche Mode rock up then I will be there.

Edit- They are playing Nos alive on 8th July so no chance them playing if we go by their not playing consecutive dates.

Will settle for New Order then.

I'm unsure about Biffy, they'd have been in running if TITP was still on surly but 4 Glasgow dates in 18 months does seem slightly too many even for them? What do people think? 

[Colfaedee]

Still hoping Foos are in with a shout. 

Hotel is booked in anticipation. 

[Colfaedee]

I was at the Gig on the Greens way back in  2000 to 2002

Just looked at the line ups on setlist and I missed a hell of a lot of good stuff

 

Must have been young, stupid or pished ,   or all three.

Wouldn't rule biffy out but I don't think they will be 1 of the 3 headliners. 

Do we know if tuts will still have a tent?

Going by the size I think the green can only really handle one outdoor main stage, the tuts tent and maybe an introducing tent plus lots of bars of course !
