It's one of few areas where they are lagging behind. Think BST use similar, the screens wrap around to the back and it looks very good. Sadly I just don't see this could fit in with the pyramid set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially considering the Other headliners have recently been the ones with the more demanding visual requirements. Could be a way of giving the Other stage something a bit extra.

I think he meant Idles anyway but the Glasgow Summer Sessions gigs are in June this year, so if they do play Glasgow then it won't be as part of that.

Hugh Jass Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 Can't imagine IDLES being an exclusive, you don't pay for exclusivity then shunt them away on the second stage when most of their crowd will bugger off midway through their set.

Are they? That’s not good then. There’s definitely another UK date coming. (There’s evidence for this it’s in the r&l thread somewhere). I think the consensus is it’s a Scotland date. I said summer sessions as it’s usually in August so a safe bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different set of gigs. Rage will be doing the Bellahouston Park ones 14-16 August. There’s often crossover with Reading/Leeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I see they’re not being branded as Summer Sessions but I’m sure I read that there’s no gigs at Bellahouston this summer, which is why Green Day got moved to Glasgow Green.

Billy Corgan's Ego Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 When do people think this extra date would be announced? It would be perfect for me if it was Glasgow but dont want to risk getting tickets for other gigs by rolling the dice. Will Leeds dah tickets likely sell out quickly?

I haven’t heard anything about that but it wouldn’t be a total surprise as Bellahouston got absolutely wrecked last year by the rain and mud (and of course Green Day has to cancel there a couple of years back). But Green Day this year is weeks before there are supposed to be any gigs at Bellahouston. I figured that was just making extra use of the TRNSMT set up like they did with Bruno Mars in 2018.

Think I was just basing it off this post from @Mezhyp1 who is usually spot on for that sort of information. It seems like Guns N Roses and Post Malone were originally meant to be at Bellahouston too, as three gigs were moved from there to Glasgow Green according to this. On 1/29/2020 at 10:46 AM, Mezhyp1 said: I was told Guns n Roses and Post Malone were 'Summer Sessions' this year, so I suspect that is it for Glasgow outdoor shows and Summer Session is just confined to Edinburgh, as Bellahouston being out of commission and there now being 6 outdoor shows inc Trnsmt at Glasgow Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm well versed in late trains from Leeds to Manc but unsure about getting from the fest to the station Got the shuttle bus back to Leeds centre on the Friday after Foos last year, which was easy enough. According to google location tracker, the journey back took 47 mins and I was at Leeds station for 12.44.

That would be the most illogical clash you could think of. 2 major name acts that are both from los angeles against each other? I don't get why this is illogical. They may be from the same place but are entirely different genres, it's like saying you can't have Carcass and The Lightning Seeds on at the same time because they're both from Liverpool. 2 hours ago, Wooderson said: As someone without a Glasters tick but with my regular EP tick im a happy man today.
