Completely agree. It's not like they have a huge amount of time to unload 5 day tickets. Very very strange. Unless they've not finalised the final headliner, which would be ridiculous at this point in time, or they're a huge act that's going to sell a shitload of tickets in a short period of time.

It's DF that run trnsmt and I wouldn't hold out any hope of a massive name being announced. Years of waiting for big announcements for T have made me cynical

Snore Patrol playing RW that night.  They have them headlining on a beam back from Werchter

Didn’t fill The Hydro in November. I don’t think DF promoted that show either which makes them more doubtful.

Catfish/Stormzy co-headline is my prediction. Mainly because it’s completely out there but it’s the sort of thing I could see DF getting away with (and selling a shedload of tickets for).

[R Shah]

Killers and AM are expensive so itll probably be a slightly cheaper booking.

Thinking it will be someone unexpected with not many or no dates announced. 

Paramore, BMTH or Royal Blood for me.

Royal blood playing no UK festivals so far this year just doesnt make sense.

In terms of accommodation, what would be the cheapest/best value for money option? Cheap hotel/hostel I'm assuming? I'm going to assume prices get put up as well to capitalise on the festival, anywhere do it cheap?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Not for TRNSMT, but I booked a hotel for 30th June / 1st July  and a lot of places are already full - and in those that aren't prices are already way higher than usual.

[harryomatic]

You'd imagine that with BBC's Biggest weekend in May, Electric Fields in September, and now this in July, we can 100% count Noel Gallagher out of the last TRNSMT headline slot.

There's a new hotel being built across the road from me, a Radisson Red. Should be open by then. No idea what prices will be like though.

@thelemeon (Sorry cant quote on this device). I booked flights to Glasgow for the second weekend (Thurs-Mon) as I'm staying quite far outside the city. Easyjet recommended some hotels that were in the price range of £400-£700 for 4 nights. There were cheaper options, which were most likely further outside of Glasgow. I just checked airBNB briefly, and it looked like there were some good options around the £50 a night mark.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yeah....those options sound pretty pricey.  My usual option for gigs is the new Travelodge on Queen St.  I paid £28 for that after Kendrick last week, albeit that was on a Sunday night.

[thelemon]

Yeah, cheers everybody. I looked at a Travelodge which wasn't that bad but it said low availability so has probably gone or will go soon. I haven't actually bought tickets and not sure if I will but my mate was asking me to look into it as a possibility.

Why???

 

I think it’s between them and chase and status for the last headliner.

Was asking if anyone knew if they had been. The fact they have dates around then has had me hoping. Glad At least someone else thinks that too.

This might be a daft shout considering who's been announced/mentioned so far, but Metallica?  Announcing something on Monday

I think this makes a lot of sense, neither of them have any Scottish dates this year.

[Claire96]

There must be an announcement in the next week or so, it's nearly March! I'm surprised they've not even dropped hints at all about the final headliner.
