They capped the ticket prices so they were quite cheap

TRNSMT have responded to criticism of their lack of diversity this year by booking a line up composed entirely of white men playing guitars, it seems.

Absolutely dire.

Not you, little simz.

Bit disappointing this, in the past it’s been Janelle, Arcade Fire, Elbow, The National etc, don’t think I’d fancy any of these.
Probably for another thread, but Foals have fallen off a cliff haven’t they? What’s happened there?

I quite like part 1 of the double album but, yeah part 2 is not great.

Anyway the never ending popularity of The Courteeners will perplex me to the end of time. Don’t know a single person who likes them but, always sell out everywhere in Manchester and North of Birmingham. I’m sure there have been multiple think pieces on this phenomenon down the years.

I do know a few who like them, and tbh, they’ve got a couple of decent tunes, but I’m likewise baffled by how big they are.


I’m not posting this in the spirit of nastiness, I’m just wondering out loud… who would be into all three days of this?

Think maybe Foals’ two-albums-in-a-year experiment backfired a bit. It’s meant there was less of a media focus on one album, and neither really had a big smash or festival-friendly single unlike the previous record. It’s almost like they spread themselves out a bit too thin.

They’re still doing well on their own tours but it’s a really bad look to be subbing Liam Gallagher at festivals at this point in their career.

Looks like it says Tenacious DD. Which better not be a boob joke

Ah yeah, I didn’t zoom in enough. Christ.

(I mean I guess unless they are all ladies in the band in which case, fair enough.)

I like the subtitles to explain who the bands are. More festival posters could do with adding this information.
