Even when they played TITP 2011 you could tell they were over the hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being someone who likes both Catfish and The Strokes (although I do prefer The Strokes), I can almost certainly say Catfish would sell better. While I love The Strokes, they just don’t dominate the scene like they used to, and Catfish are way more relevant to the youth these days. The energy at their shows are always great as well, which is a big draw. I think they’re also more widely accessible. While I am quite gutted that The Strokes won’t be there, Catfish can still put on a good show and plenty of people would be happy to see them headline. Catfish also have no Scottish dates, implying they’re saving trnsmt as their Scotland show. I’d say the odds are more likely The Strokes will do an arena tour, which I’m hoping for, although it may be that APE is the only UK show they have this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5rebbecas Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 @Mezhyp1 what’s the undercard for main stage like? any good for selling tickets to the TRNSMT demographic? trying to pick away at clues to see if it’s gonna be decent haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiefski Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 I like that in the space of a few pages the fear of Stormzy has seen Robbie Williams become a viable and popular choice.

harryomatic Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 2013 was a bit meh for me, though Chvrches in the Transmissions tent -and Travis in Tuts were great. TITP 2011 was unquestionably the best year I went (10-16). Headliners all over the shop, a main stage run of Blondie/Weezer/MCR/Pulp/Foo Fighters, Chase and Status in a rammed out Tuts, Tom Jones, a quality Arctic Monkeys set. 2014 was also pretty good. Biffy and Calvin Harris bothfinally headlining and putting on unreal shows, Franz Ferdinand and Human League in Tuts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etodd22 Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) 2008 & 2011 were the best line up’s in my times to T. Never see a bill like that again. Edited February 12, 2019 by Etodd22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownlnAlbion Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 I've had it on very good authority that the lineup is: Stormzy + Chance the rapper, Catfish + Bastille, Snow Patrol + George Ezra. Can't see it selling well if my sources are correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
