So disappointing for anyone up there wanting to see them because there's zero crossover in demographic between Pulp and Ezra/Niall. I suppose the thinking might be you get enough people into Pulp/Heaton & Abbot as well as the Ezra/Horan crowd. I'm sure it will sell well, ideal for families really but not what I was hoping for at all. Them headlining a day at Connect would have been ideal.

So disappointing for anyone up there wanting to see them because there's zero crossover in demographic between Pulp and Ezra/Niall. The whole thing is bizarre, tbh. Royal Blood before The 1975 is weird then again R&L did that in 2019 so not out of the question. Ashnikko is a name I wouldn’t expect on there and Aitch is a good booking but stands out like a sore thumb on that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49Lawson Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 If I could swap Pulp and Beautiful South for Fender and Aitch I could make that Saturday ideal for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewayiam Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 If you swapped Becky Hill and Royal Blood to Friday over Ezra and Niall Horan then that Friday is a goer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mezhyp1 Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Hopefully get something cheap for Pulp and turn up just before they start. Joy of living 10 mins away 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEGABOWL Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 That’s surprisingly big for Trnsmt. They’ve done well this year. At £182.50 for 3 days I can see that doing very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aech2ElectricBoogaloo Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Think most UK bookers just throw any random name in they can get these days. Is the thinking if we can cater to ten different markets with one act each as if it's a gig we'll sell more tickets than putting on a decent coherent lineup.

Chiefski Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 I don't think Pulps day is that bad, yeah there's Neil Horan, but there's always going to be a chart friendly name, I can imagine your average Pulp fan will atleast be indifferent or cool with Heaton/Abbott and Ezra. Plus, there will be still a few names to add that day. This initial lineup is as close to a half decent old TITP main stage announcement they've had in a while, IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom1984 Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Heaton and Abbott are perfect for the Pulp day. Ezra is in there I imagine because they want a sure ticket seller in that spot. Horan is the odd one out. Not Pulp. That said, I VERY much like that day, and would attend for 3 of the 4. Saturday... I'd consider for that top 2 alone, but the TBA could swing it more. The Sunday does not work for me. At all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I didn’t expect to go back but Heaton/Abbott and Pulp plus it’s handy for a few pints in the City in the afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordo1701 Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 Also seen that next year it’s going to be for 16 & over! Before it used to be under 16s with an adult so I wonder if they’ll enforce this rule. Hoping they do to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_87 Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 It's a shame that means Pulp won't play Connect They'd have been a perfect fit for that festival/demographic - maybe not big enough crowd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom1984 Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 The fact they're doing TRNSMT means there was never a chance they were getting considered for Connect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the strongest support of the 3 headliners arguably. They could have done Connect, chems did trnsmt and then did connect the year after for instance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom1984 Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 Chemical Brothers were a fairly late replacement at TRNSMT, and definitely not the level of pretty much any headliner before or after them. The same way you're not likely to see Primal Scream in that sort of slot again either after Foals pulled out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they were a bit of weird one thats fair enough but the point still stands they have the strongest sub on their day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the unproven drawing power rather than lack of it though. DF clearly think they're possibly big enough if Ezra isn't top billing though.

DomDom1984 Posted October 29, 2022 Report Share Posted October 29, 2022 (edited) Anyone thinking that Sea Girls could be the TBA on the Saturday? EDIT: Was thinking possibly Sugababes too, which I'd also be content with. The Proclaimers came to mind too, but everything bar Aberdeen is sold out, so possibly wouldn't need to hold it back?

I thought it might be The View and they’re waiting until after their December shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
