Lol

TBH every time I see that poster I can't stop looking at how I forgot to remove last years dates on the last 2 posters...

This honestly could mean anything but this does fall on one of the days of TRNSMT

Could be, more likely to be a big London gig that day though. They played there tonight so it would make sense for them to announce an outdoor gig there next summer soon.

[roryBreaker]

QOTSA @ Finsbury Park confirmed for the 30th. 

Leaves them open to the Friday or Sunday at TRNSMT.  

[harryomatic]

Or the 6th/8th the weekend after.

 

Would definitely take QOTSA with Iggy Pop and The Hives in a heartbeat.

[Stuielooie]

Yeah, it could be the weekend after. As the weekend after that they are elsewhere in Europe.

[Mattymooz]

QOTSA have already said they aren't doing proper fests though, think it's way more likely we'll get Liam (who is at Finsbury on the Friday) and whoever the Community headliner is (which is on the Sunday at Finsbury)

Did they? Only thing I know is a Live Nation guy said they were doing their own outdoor shows and TRNSMT certainly can be described as that regardless of the TRNSMT banner. Also the word was that they did a small Edinburgh show instead of Glasgow arena for the exact purpose of a big outdoor show in Glasgow. TBC IMO.

Also the Community headliner will be too small to headline TRNSMT. I know you say it’s gonna grow but not at that sharp a rate.

[harryomatic]

They're playing plenty of proper festivals next summer - Northside, Mad Cool and NOS Alive. That said for some reason DF booking QOTSA as a festival headliner still seems a little odd to me for some reason, can't pin down why. Maybe makes more sense as a more of a standalone gig headliner, eg on the 2nd weekend.

[harryomatic]

Updating my wishlist.

FOO FIGHTERS	LIAM GALLAGHER	THE KILLERS		QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE	ARCTIC MONKEYS
ROYAL BLOOD	STEREOPHONICS	BASTILLE		NINE INCH NAILS	THE XX

I need Foos to be on the Saturday or Sunday.....  Please adjust your wishlist accordingly to stop depressing me. Thanks.

haha my bad. Sadly neither Liam Gallagher or The Killers can do Friday 29th, so unless the Foos hang around until the 2nd weekend they'd have to do the Friday night in my prediction.

[harryomatic]

Gorillaz playing Rock Werchter on the 5th July, as well as Open'er in Poland on the 6th, so they would only really be able to Sunday 8th July that weekend, or the 3 days of the first weekend.

I'm just going off the fact that the same weekend as community has Liam and QOTSA headlining the same stage. I know it's not all the same event but you wouldnt have those 2 massive acts and then chuck someone pathetic like Bastille on the Sunday.

Why not? You can’t have a weekend ticket to Finsbury Park, it’s just them making use of the venue and staging all in one weekend, so QOTSA and Liam Gallagher are not relevant to Community Festival. If it’s still £35 a ticket they’re not gonna get bands to headline whose gig prices are that much - I think Bastille would even be on the larger side for this.

Oh is it confirmed to be staying at that price? Yeah probs unlikely then. Assumed it would go up to like £50 but if its staying that low....

I dunno, I haven’t heard otherwise so I’d presume little to no change. Doesn’t seem necessary to expand Community when they managed to do well enough with a load of young indie bands first time out.

Wasn't expecting LG to headline one of the main festival days, sure him and Courteeners will go down well though.

Darn darn darn. Foo Fighters looking even more likely for Friday now. And I have Roger Waters that night. In Glasgow. It's like the ultimate dilemma.

(I'd go see Roger on Saturday but I have great seats....)

[Stuart1000]

His gig at the Barras last year was one of the worst gigs I’ve ever been to.

Will be steering clear of this one.

[kingcrawler]

Prices are up on the website now too

£59.50 for one day
£155 for three days
£250 for five days

Three day ticket only covers the first weekend rather than allowing you to choose three from five which is a shame but makes their life much easier I guess

Edit: Presale is next Wednesday, hopefully one announcement per weekday until then

[the wonderwhy]

250 quid for five days is a decent deal (basically a buy four get one free) though it of course relies on you being able to commit in terms of both time and initial outlay, and the whole lineup taking your fancy. Wonder how many of those they're expecting to shift?

I'd like to go for the first weekend but I'm not too fussed about LG/Courteeners, to make matters worse it's the middle day so I can't even go for two days and avoid it 

[harryomatic]

Yeah that day doesn't do it for me really, and as it's the Saturday of the 1st weekend, I'll just cherry pick day tickets I guess, unless all 4 other days really appear so it becomes worth the 5 days for price of 4 really.
