Purely speculation, but I feel like the final headliner might be a Scottish act.

Feel like Travis wouldn't have a big enough pull even if they're doing The Man Who in full. Paolo Nutini could be a decent possibility as previously suggested. Think it'd be pretty feasible them booking him as a headliner, with Travis supporting playing The Man Who.

It’s going to be the prodigy mate

Not sure about that, given the two festivals they're playing on mainland Europe that weekend. They've not got announced days but it'd certainly make life difficult for them to get to TRNSMT.

I'm still not ruling out Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds btw.

[DomDom1984]

Turns out you're correct.

[RarerThanDandyB]

Do you get a festival wristband at TRNSMT, just something I wondered.

Last year it was just a simple ticket scan and then you were expected to keep your ticket on you at all times

Wristband would be better since its less chance you will lose it, especially if its a weekend ticket and a souvenir for the customer. Bit pointless having a ticket which can be easily go missing.

Yeah i never understood it either my dad had a weekend ticket last year  and paid extra for a lanyard sort of ticket from what i remember. I can't see them doing wristbands cause its a non camping festival and i didn't see a single person having to show their ticket in the arena anyway so i wouldn't be too worried if you lost your day ticket

How do you get a lanyard ticket? I have a two day for LG/Courteeners and AM. Would be better having it safer than just scrunched in my pocket...

But not proper RandL esque they where like paper not proper material...

Also do you get there early to be in the front part as there is a segregation barrier it looks like... @IsaacMuse @Paulmcm1998

I checked payment options this year and it doesnt appear to be an option. If you have a printable ticket I'd just print them twice

Get there ridiculously early before so called AM fan girls that know two songs. Like get there 11 when it opens at 12.

 i feel you can easily get into a good position on the LG day if you try get passed the barrier during wolf Alice. AM I'd presume people will just stand at mainstage all day for a good spot but Interpol may make loads go to the king tuts stage for Sigrid as i don't think they really fit the day

How do you get passed a barrier is it like a walk round it? Is it easy to?

At the beginning if of the day it’s very easy to get in the front section but really at the third act or so it’s pretty difficult

Walk around

Thoughts on catfish and the bottlemen as the Friday headliners or too small? They've announced some pretty big shows during the summer with nothing in Scotland so far.

Don’t really think they’d headline, may sub but I don’t know how many acts TRNSMT will want to book again who played last year. 

[DomDom1984]

I got into the front bit easily about 10 minutes before Radiohead started last year.

They are not really touring this summer - just a few one-off shows to keep themselves in the limelight it seems. 

If they bring out a commercially successful album before the end of the year then they will be absolute stick-ons to headline next year.

[Muppetmark]

The missing headliner is possibly the same as werchters missing headliner. Looks like a band being held back

[harryomatic]

Are they not also missing a headliner for Friday 6th of July though? Gorillaz on 5th, Pearl Jam on 7th, Arctic Monkeys on 8th. Can't be same act on the same day.

[kingcrawler]

Jack White's playing France on the 6th now so it's definitely not him either. It's actually going to be Catfish now, isn't it?
