Maybe. Foos were the big shout for GSS but this first weekend puts them back in the reckoning here.

Would they nix an arena date for a sub? That's the sort of thing they only do for headliners init? Not that I think they could headline given they were support for Biffy last year.

Yeah you're probably right, was just a passing thought.

Foo's are a good shout though, could well be the reason the main weekend is earlier as much as the orange walk stuff.

It's just the same as most other gigs/festivals, random searches. However, having had to deal with the aftermath of smoke bombs, flares, fireworks and the like i'd just ask you to think about it

Opens up a lot more possibilities for acts with the main weekend earlier wouldn't be surprised if depeche mode or the national had their own night now. Wouldn't be surprised if they had a pop headliner as well now

Depeche Mode can't do either weekend, think The National could well be a sub though. I agree on the pop headliner too, Bruno Mars is about and could be an option, 5 days is quite expensive if they all appeal to similar crowds so having something a bit different could work well.

The Orange order seem to take priority over everything in Scotland :sorry:

I'd say DF seems to have done pretty well out of it.

Cos it looks to me that they bargained swapping weekends for having an extra couple of big shows, which means with the shared infrastructure costs they should be significantly more-profitable shows.

More interesting will be what TRNSMT decide to do with the dates going forwards. Do they run the fest on Glasto weekend and get access to the same acts but lose some of their potential audience, or do they push it to the weekend the other side of the bowler-hatted twats?

Yeah it certainly looks like they used the situation to their advantage.

Is that the same weekend as Community & the Liam Gallagher Finsbury thing? Like literally the exact days (with both Finsbury and here missing the Saturday?). It's Download that 2nd weekend too no?

EDIT: Oh im and idiot, assumed it was just the first weekend and then they added 2 days on the second weekend, but I think they planned it for 6/7/8 but then that march thing is planned right?

 

Still don't think Foos can make it for this, they have Rock am Ring on too close to the first weekend and tour dates for the later one (unless they do the Friday of the first week but I think it is unlikely). However, GnR could definitely fit in (after/before Download) and Liam is a good shout for the Sunday of the second weekend perhaps.

Download is 3 weeks before the first of these weekends .

Interested to see how this all comes together. Especially if Foos are involved. Do we think there'll be multiple stages for the 2nd weekend, or just Summer Sessions in July and different location?

 

Foo Fighters

Liam Gallagher

The Killers

///

Florence + the Machine or QOTSA

Gorillaz

 

Would be fine with me.

Seen on another forum someone saying they've heard: Killers, Stereophonics / Liam Gallagher, Arctic Monkeys and then the following weekend is dance music...

Anyway, my guess is:

Foos / Killers / Noel 

Liam / QOTSA joint with Phonics 

 

If DF were gonna do a dance event, I don't believe they'd put it under the TRNSMT banner. One of the main things about it was the move back to a rock oriented line up.

As for your prediction it looks sensible enough apart from QOTSA/Stereophonics which doesn't really make much sense as a pairing. If Queens of the Stone Age needed another band then someone like Jack White or Nine Inch Nails - or more realistically Royal Blood :( - would be smart with Stereophonics playing support to one of the other days.

Agreed, don't really believe it but just passing on what I seen. Yeah, Royal Blood sub to QOTSA and Stereophonics under Liam would make more sense actually.

Think the Foo Fighters are still unlikely. I'm guessing they'd need at least a full week to transport their tour rigs back to the States.

Well, if their first show is on the 7th of July, they can play the 29th or 30th of June and still have a full week. TBH I think they could play any of the dates on that first weekend and still get back in time.

I don't think think there is much chance of Noel or QOTSA/Phonics topping the bill.

Not really they’ve been marching the same weekend for as long as most of us were born through the city centre and ending up at the green.

There was no chance they were going to move dates or location.

      Sziget 2026

      By kristofm · Posted

      Chill. There is no chance Sziget will be cancelled by the government. Even the prime minister held a press conference today, where he confirmed this.   Magyar said they do not want to shut down the country or prevent events from taking place. He gave the example that vetoing an event would be like completely cutting off a large consumer’s electricity supply for the organizers. However, just as they have not taken such a measure against large consumers, they have not taken steps to cancel events either. (Magyar did not name a specific event, but he was presumably referring specifically to the Sziget Festival.) At the same time, Péter Magyar stressed that if disruptions occur in the system or the heatwave persists, it could become necessary to postpone or reschedule events (example: some Hungarian football games will probably be held in daylight, moved to a few hours earlier, to save energy), although he believes there is currently little chance of that happening. This is particularly true for events that rely entirely, or largely, on their own energy sources.

      If the campervan field residents aren’t allowed to cut through orchid they’ve got a brutal walk on their hands.   otherwise not too many surprises

      This. I always read in awe the hatred toward the festival and Gerendai.  I see no chance of it being cancelled, except if something worse happens, like the whole electric grid collapses or something. But that’s not really a case. Worst case scenario is that the whole thing will be ran by diesel generators for the sake of the environment.

      they are shutting down the nuclear power plant until Friday ; sziget starts 3 days later plus, they said they will have to import energy.    So I see no point in cancelling an event that will make them lose money
