Are you for real who actually cares ???

 

Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis confirmed Prodigy had been booked to headline the festival this year.

 

This is where I got it from no mention of second first third or playing in the campsite take a day off you utter fruitcakes.

 

 

calm down mate, dunno where that quote is from but it's incorrect. Assuming you posted it in here as if to say they should have been headlining trnsmt which is nonsense.

Or you know, you could just go “OK fair enough” instead of getting all precious?

 

Just a thought.

Ok fair enough.

Go and read Emily's post. She said 'booked to play', no mention of headlining 

Scottish sun....

 

An air ambulance was sent to the scene but paramedics were unable to revive the star.

It was not clear how long his body had been there but it is understood he ran with a personal trainer every day.

He did Saturday’s parkrun in 21 minutes, 22 seconds, according to the official website. Onlooker Rob Hadgraft said he looked “in great shape and spirits”.

Why is everyone making a mountain of a molehill???

It was from the sun mate.

that would explain the inaccuracy.

surely you see there's a big difference between saying they were meant to headline and meant to headline the second stage.

[The-Heartbreak-Kid]

Has this been cancelled yet?

Tbh I didn’t even think about it.

[DomDom1984]

I think she'd have said so if it were headline, but I don't think them headlining would be that big a stretch. Folk are talking about The Strokes as a headline act FFS. The Prodigy aren't unthinkable in a year where they're looking for a replacement.

I know this debate is tired but please, there's no doubt that The Strokes are a headline act, especially considering the size of TRNSMT. I genuinely won't be surprised if the Courteeners or Gerry headline in the next couple of years, but one of the most influential bands of the past couple decades couldn't?

They might be a headline act...but not there they aren't.

They're a smaller headline act than most, and The Prodigy would fit that bill, and probably put on a better show into the bargain.

Courteeners time has probably passed btw. Maybe a major Manchester festival could get away with that, but they wouldn't anywhere else. I'd say the same would probably be true for Gerry Cinnamon down the line in Glasgow. It's not really comparable.

[DomDom1984]

Are we expecting another act on the Sunday? Or are we just expecting an extended set from Snow Patrol and no other acts?

[addicted2noise]

I wonder how well this is selling. I know a few younger people talking about going but I'm not sure they'll have the same numbers that Liam or The Arctic Monkeys had last year. Its probably just me but I fell like the whole Gerry hype is dying down a little and none of Catfish's new songs have exactly set the world alight.

I don't think trnsmt lineupis is as good as last year but if they booked Biffy , Mumfords  and foos headlineing  instead of stromzy Catfish and George Ezra it would go down pretty well.

[Threestripes]

My nephew who’s just turned 16 and a squad of his mates are going on the sat/sun.

Itll probabbly sell well to the young team ....sadly trnsmt for the more mature older crowd is finished after 2 years.

[DomDom1984]

Foos weren't available.

I'm not sure the Catfish day is doing so well as I've seen that day getting advertised even more than the weekend tickets. So I'm assuming they're reasonably happy with the rest.

[devilman]

I've heard some school kids saying they think it's a good line up. They wouldn't be able to go without parents. I don't know anybody who is thinking of going. That's never happened before for T/TRNSMT. Lots going to Foos and Cure though.

[didinowanttohearthat]

@Mezhyp1 any idea how this is selling?

Heard they’ve replaced 3/4s of the bars with ice cream vans.

Did I miss the groupon sale?

[rawzyj]

Wouldn’t day tickets sell out before weekend tickets? I’ve literally not heard of a single person going this year. 

[DomDom1984]

I'd imagine they're happy with both. They sent out an email the other day and the main focus was on the merch with a wee bit on the tickets at the end. The Catfish advertising has fucked off as well that I was seeing not long ago.

[DomDom1984]

Another email today and much the same story. Mostly trying to push VIP tickets, and a wee bit on undercard bands.

I wonder what percentage of tickets they've actually gotten rid of.

[devilman]

I know I'm old and out of touch these days but it's as if this festival isn't happening at all this year. Nobody I know is going or talking about it but it seems as if no one is talking about it. Not even on here! I'm not seeing any ads anywhere though, even at the venues I'd expect to see them. Quietest it's ever been in the T/TRNSMT era. Is it really struggling or is the crowd that's going even too young for my 18 and 22 year old sons to know about?
