TITP 2017

[Threestripes]

Know people who are just back from there first time at creamfields and the ones I've spoke to says everything about it puts titp to shame.

From the festival site to the stages to the sound.

Titp has just lost another 20+ camping ticket sales because of strathalan.

[Chiefski]

Going by their show at Bellahouston (which did sell out in the end) and good showings at L/R I'd still say Biffy are safe as potential headliners. On that gig, was quite impressed with the setup at Bellahouston Park, general feeling between myself and friends was there was potential room for them to expand it to allow for an extra tent stage in the fields either side of the stage and make it a day long/weekend wide things to potentially replace T, maybe even having it there and another similar sized site somewhere else in the country to split potential crowds. Would mean sacrificing camping but that might not be the worst thing in the world.

Went to both days of Summer Sessions and found it in many ways a more enjoyable experience than recent trips to TITP. Barring a real rebirth in the strength of T's lineups and a drop in the number of neds going I could see Summer Sessions becoming my new regular Scottish festival.

It's not a festival though, it's just an open field for the days it runs with a main stage.

They should stick cocktail cocktail in the middle of bellahouston park for a alldayer.

True, realise I'm not comparing like for like, just mean that I could see Summer Sessions taking the place of TITP as my main Scottish outdoor music event if it continues with line ups like this year. I live in Glasgow so its very handy for me!

That's kind of what I could see if the lineups keep as strong as this year happening with Victorious over R&L, I haven't been to R&L for a few years but with that fest you are close enough to make a bit of a south coast trip out of it visiting Bournemouth, around Portsmouth, Southampton, Poole etc.

Green Day just announced their Europe tour... 3 English dates but no Scottish ones. Perhaps a shout for T

[Matthew McNally]

Kings of Leon are a good shout with the new album out next month, however they could do the summer sessions again instead. 

Catfish will be high up the card if they are back next year, will be headliners one day. 

I could see Foals easy headline on Friday night. 

I'd welcome and Eminem or Kanye headliner that would pull in big crowds.

Richard Ashcroft should be there! 

SHM would be big draw if they were to reform.

Black Sabbath would be nice addition before they finish for good.

God forbid but Bieber would also be a big headline draw.

[devilman]

I'll run down Sauchiehall St naked and give a tenner to every person present if Black Sabbath play TITP. The new KOL is ok but I dunno if they'll do T again in its current format.

Yeah it's a good shout. They'll be around for BST as well so puts them in the area. I couldn't have seen it before RHCP were booked this year but yeah, it could be a goer.

I think as the above poster said that Green Day looks a lock for me, coming back after the trio album stint and everything I don't think they'll be so choosy where they play.

If SHM were to I think it's either TITP or Sessions as I can imagine Cream would go in hard for them being 20th Anniversary as well and it probably guarantees a sellout there.

KOL I think it's very much T or Sessions depending on where they are, kind of tempted to say Sessions just as I reckon V might poach them.

Ashcroft I think will sub main stage one day.

Yeah good shout on Daft Punk, if the rumours are true. Drake over Biffy and Biffy sub one of the nights I reckon.

Could they afford that though? Surely must be struggling a bit with poor sales last 2 years

This is true, I forgot about Biffy who must be a cert.

That trio is likely tbh and probably puts LOL at Sessions.

Biffy aren't subbing at T yet and if Drake was one it's probably because they didn't get DP.

Do you mean the headline set or Biffy subbing?

Despite the bailouts I don't think T will be in a position where they're rummaging for change any time soon as long as Live Nation is behind them and yeah, I think they could manage that set of headliners in a normal year.

I doubt Biffy Clyro's people will be negotiating themselves out of festival slots that they need; I feel that after nobody wanting them this year they'll be happy to take sub slots and be priced accordingly.

Yeah man I just assumed Daft Punk would be so expensive, and the Scottish factor I think would mean Biffy are still a headliner. Can defo see Greenday being there similar to RHCP from this year

I'm not convinced they'll be treated any better for being Scottish tbh  This year would have been a prime time to have them return but they were passed on and left in the wilderness until a spot opened up at R+L, and IIRC they were supposedly offered a sub slot the year they headlined R+L and then T only went back for them once they'd been broken in as headliners. Obviously festivals aren't in the business of shrinking the headliner pool and it's quite possible they'll be brought in to balance out a headline trio or something but I really wouldn't be surprised if they start stepping down the bill next year onwards.

Not sure what the Daft Punk deal is other than they asked for a lot off Coachella all those years back to build their stage setup and barely made a profit but went on to play a bunch of festivals to make that up. When they played Rock Ness and Wireless and stuff it won't have been breaking the bank back then. Not sure now but that's anyone's guess.

Hopefully the will give us some of the line up before Xmas giving people the chance to buy tickets for presents 

Cant believe they left everything so late last year regarding the layout and travel.

They're doing 2 nights at the Barrowlands but I think its safe to assume they are booked though

[harryomatic]

Wonder what slot Two Door would have these days? They headlined the NME tent at R/L this year. Tut's headliner? High R1?

[kingcrawler]

Coldplay are in Ireland on T weekend and Cardiff a couple of days after, they seem a decent shout for the Sunday now.

edit: Just seen their Cardiff gig billed as a UK stadium exclusive which makes them playing festivals seem very likely.

Just saw that too, must be a strong shout
