TRNSMT Lineup 2019


Recommended Posts

They'd be pushing like FUCK if they weren't selling. But there's no giveaways or anything either. So they must be selling the tickets to somebody. But like you, I'm not 100% sure exactly who it is. They were pushing Catfish day pretty heavily initially and then that's pretty much been it. They're clearly content.

It really is a kick in the teeth this year to the crowd trnsmt is supposed to be for.

 

It's been going two years, its hardly gone all in on a certain audience yet. And the last two years have been all over the place with the different audience its been aimed towards. Granted Ezra and Stormzy are a bit different and stormzys undercard obviously is an exception but most of the acts would have fit in perfectly the last couple of years

It was sold initially as a non camping, no EDM festival for more mature festival goers. Presumably to shake the negative feeing that had caused the failure of TITP with the fights and drug deaths. I doubt they'd have got a licence if they had just said we're bringing T to Glasgow with no camping. It's going that way though it seems. Calvin Harris to headline next year? Actually, he's probably a bit past it for the audience now :)

They've not booked anything like Calvin Harris though unless I'm missing something obvious. The headliners might be a bit more aimed towards the younger audience but they've all played TRNSMT before. There's not really any reason to think Calvin Harris will be headlining next year.

Is it really that much of a progression from last year? Most of the acts wouldn't look out of place in the slightest at either of the last two years. Queen and Radiohead were both bookings that stood out as much as Stormzy or George Ezra compared to the other headliners in their respective years.

The way I see it is, this is more for younger audience 16-25 year old. Whereas the ss bookings- the cure etc are aimed at an older audience. I’m sure they could’ve had the cure on a day with Gerry cinnamon and dma’s but then you’d have people complaining about wee bams ruining it for you.

Yeah I agree. To be honest even as someone who fits into that age bracket I’m delighted with how they’ve done things this year. I’d much rather be able to see The Cure with brilliant, more suitable, supports than have them lumped into a TRNSMT day with The Kooks and Bastille. Having Summer Sessions and the Kelvingrove bandstand gigs for an older auidence and TRNSMT as a much more modern festival seems like a good deal to me.

Exactly this, Radiohead and Queen didn't work at TRNSMT based on their crowds vs the other acts, so they are just adapting. George Ezra also isn't at all out of place - at the end of the day he's basically just doing the same thing Gerry Cinnamon is; in concept he is a single person with a guitar. I think they are doing a great job and when compared to sales at other festivals across the UK, in a region with fewer people like Glasgow/Scotland altogether I think they are doing a good job. Also the undercards are absolutely stacked - 5th down Wombats when they are playing 3rd down at Reading is impressive and like Kooks who are 4th down are headlining festivals like Community. Not many festivals have 5th done arena bands. Pretty crazy how DMA's and Wombats are both playing 5th down really.

Sad to hear the Rev from Alabama 3 passed away yesterday. He and they are a favourite of mine. I've seen them at a few Scottish festivals including TRNSMT. RIP Rev.

Heard about this today was looking forward to see them at vibration on Saturday.

RIP

Tbh the saturday lineup is filled with some of the most popular bands around. Catfish, dma’s, RA. And then bands that are gathering a lot of momentum like the snuts and the dunts. Aswell as Sam fender . The Sunday undercard is decent in comparison to Leeds but can’t see many people at main stage after 4pm. The Friday isn’t for me however, stormzy is one of the biggest artists in the uk, Gerry is one of the hottest in Scotland. And others like anime/aj Tracey are also pretty big. 

Think people rightly said the headliners were weak, but there really wasn’t much else about and people overreacted.

Is Glasgow/Scotland that small a region? I think there is still demand there for a festival that appeals to older and younger people in Scotland (Electric Picnic in Ireland manages this and as a result sells out it 55,000 tickets instantly every year) but so far TRNSMT has yet to get the balance right (a second stage/tent for more mid tier alternative acts could work if there's space) .

Thats true I guess, although a lot less touring goes on in Ireland too which doesn't help I guess. I think TRNSMT isn't doing half bad to be honest, this year due to touring clearly GSS is old and TRNSMT is young but that could easily change next year

Watching IOW jealous as ****.

I know there’s decient festivals I can go to with camping in England but I despise the rocket who wasted titp.

Someone could make a killing doing a similar sized festival up here.

Dont know one person except some young team  that is going to trnsmt and that’s out of over 50 that went to t religiously.

There must be a site somewhere fairly central that they could use. The calendar certainly feels empty now without T even though I probably wouldn't go. I go to camping fests in England 3 times a year now. I dunno if it would ever get back to the glory days but it certainly feels that is was run into the ground by incompetence rather than a lack of demand. I'm sure there is still a place for something similar.

The move from balado killed it, there’s no way it could’ve went on any longer at strathallan.

It was going down the pan at Balado. Crowd numbers were reducing due , as DM says, to the incompetence of the organisers. Moving it to strathallan was just the final nail in its coffin.  Absolute waste of a once great festival.

Theres certainly still demand, surprised that the one which shut recently after moving to Glasgow - 90k campers has basically gone to zero now its just crazy.

Electric Fields?

It got cancelled due to lack of demand.

Its such a shame but I think we’ve had it. Things like summer sessions look like the future. 

Kendal Calling is good and you can probably get there as easy from Glasgow as Wickerman or EF.

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
