frankblack Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 The line up is ****ing shite. Got tickets for The Cure supported by Mogwai and The Twilight Sad followed by The Foo Fighters the next day in August at Glasgow Summer Sessions.

chuck berrys hairline Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Is this the replacement for t in the park? From what I've heard it's shite with loads of 16's and under swaggering about with their first Budweiser 😂, sounds like total opposite of t in the park.

4forDevries Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Better going to Party at the Palace Festival in Linlithgow. 10 th and 11th Aug And site is close to rail station so no transport problems.

I have a few things on so can't make it but its tempting to see The Damned, Vaselines, Wailers, Blanck Mass, etc. https://dounetherabbithole.co.uk/line-up/ I've got Kiss and Garbage through the week then Glasgow Summer Sessions, Madness, and Ash in August.

Geoff Ellis and co are chasing the wrong punters and surely the difference in ticket sales with Glasgow Summer Sessions for The Cure and Foo Fighters shows this clearly.

Салатные палочки Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 I read Gerry Cinnamon described as "the pied piper of the neds". Couldn't think of a better way to describe him and his hordes. The train into Glasgow yesterday made me so happy that I will never attend TRNSMT. "HERE WAE, HERE WAE, HERE WAE ****IN GO!" has to be the most cringey chant ever. I hit a beamer just hearing it. The festival is the equivalent of those "Scottish Banter" videos you see on Facebook, with people commenting that no one has a sense of humour like the Scots. Pure cringe.

Bauld Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 Was in town today for a meal and drinks with the family. All the TRNSMT goers passing us by made me want to turn about and gp home.

They are spunking money on a pointless 1000 capacity opera house in St Andrews Sq that is smaller than most of our current music venues like the Usher Hall and Leith Theatre.

I always think the Meadows could hold a festival but the rich folk in the posh flats where the old Royal stood would likely object if they weren't at the opera in St Andrews Square at the time. I would even like to see Ingliston for an outdoor fest if nowhere in the town was suitable. Won't hold my breath though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The council isn't interested - they get the tourists they want from the Fringe and Festival. No chance the Meadows would get outdoor gigs. They are doing some gigs in Princes St Gardens next month but you aren't going to get anyone like The Cure or Foo Fighters here nowadays unless they get a Murrayfield gig. Princes St Gardens is a very limited venue for live music and yes they should host something out of town but just don't see it happening. Meadowbank used to be good for big fringe concerts by the likes of the Pixies, Radiohead, Foo Fighters, but that was over 10 years ago now.

That is a boutique festival, which doesn't attract the NEDs like TRANSMT. Music is crap too, mostly getting acts well past their best. TRANSMT has driven away the normal people who attended T in the Park, and all you have left is the NEDs and underage drunks. Have you seen the posts on social media about TRANSMT's line up by people who bought tickets in advance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T in the Park used to have a diverse range of artists from Weller to Rihanna to Chemical Brothers to Sigur Ros and even Brian Wilson, The Who, Pet Shop Boys, Joe Strummer plus the latest up and coming bands. David Bowie was booked to headline before his health failed. Look at TRANSMT for a comparison.... 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
