TRNSMT Festival 2018

[Stuielooie]

And Kodaline being the best band on that kak day

[Paulmcm1998]

I get the vibe the festival is going to consist mainly of British and Irish acts like last year from all these announcements hoping they at least get the killers/ foos or Queens of the Stone Age to at least mix it up. There's not any acts announced so far that feel exclusive to Trnsmt

Did an intern just leave them off the poster or something?

Oooh Depeche Mode. I'd go for them.

Likewise but they’re in Europe over the transhit weekends and won’t be there

[mowat7]

Qotsa, Snow Patrol, The National, BRMC, Jesus & Mary Chain, Foals, New Order, Royal Blood, Interpol, Pixies. Few of them over the last 3 nights would be ideal and make the festival look better. heres hoping

Snow Patrol are still a thing?

They've been MIA for about five or six years. Be really curious to see where they land with this return - they were still considered a big live pull back with Fallen Empires and they were definitely dropping off then.

Run is one of the best "post-Britpop" songs out there, to use that genre terminology loosely. They had some grand old songs.

[DomDom1984]

So Snow Patrol are absolute dead certs for TRNSMT then. I actually don't mind that. Really enjoyed them on their last visit to T.

Can't see it happening but Japandroids would be fucking outstanding. Future Islands and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club must be realistic shouts and I'd be happy with either.

In future years we will talk of the Radiohead anomaly.

[Stuielooie]

Foals won't be playing/announcing anything for a while. They are at the start of creating their new album and they go very quiet during this time

[Mattymooz]

So Sterophonics / Liam Gallagher / The Killers / Snow Patrol / QOTSA? That is so bleak compared to last year lol

Not even sure if I expect QOTSA now. Looks like it's just TITP minus the dance music. Could see it being Flo instead.

[mazza7]

I'll not bother going at all if Snow Patrol get announced. There's so many exciting acts touring at the time the festival is on and then DF proceed to book the same old shite which put folk off TITP...

We really need a proper alternative festival in Scotland!

I'm guessing we might get a few of these acts - all of them bar Two Door Cinema Club (UK exclusive) seem likely/able to fit the TRNSMT audience.

To be fair most of them are probably too busy ranking it in writing songs for acts like Ed Sheeran and Jake Bugg to focus on the band

Are Foo Fighters out of the running for this? Or are we just assuming that it's so terrible it's unlikely to be improved?

Somewhere in between, they can still do the Sunday of the first weekend but if they were playing it would have made sense to have them earlier in the weekend to allow them to travel back to America earlier.

IIRC You Me at Six had said, at a gig before last year's festival, that they hadn't been asked to play any Scottish festivals. So it seems unlikely that DF would approach them this year.

The Vaccines seem likely though, I imagine they'll get announced once their Academy gig sells out

I think it would have made sense to announce them in order to actually sell some tickets!

Aye they said that at their SECC gig. Never know though

Where’s this Snow Patrol stuff coming from? Is it just because they were TITP regulars...? Please...

They have announced their first festival of the summer - Mad Cool Madrid in July and are expected to be at some UK festival. 

[Rubber Soldier]

So it’s just conjecture for now? Phew. 

[Neontiger90]

Would Snow Patrol definitely headline? I wouldn't mind seeing them but again like Stereophonics, im not sure how well they would go down as main headliners.
