TWITTER users are continuing to blast the lineup for this year’s TRNSMT Festival in Glasgow - with music fans jokingly saying they would rather go to the failed Fyre Festival.
Promoter DF Concerts stirred up controversy on Monday after revealing Stormzy, Catfish and The Bottlemen and George Ezra will headline the event on Glasgow Green this summer.
Grime artist Stormzy will headline on Friday July 12, with Scottish favourite Gerry Cinnamon and Years & Years also performing.

Saturday July 13 will see Richard Ashcroft, former frontman of The Verve, play on the main stage at Glasgow Green, with Bastille appearing before headliners Catfish and the Bottlemen.
Snow Patrol return to Scotland on Sunday July 14, with The Wombats, The Kooks and Jess Glynne also playing that afternoon before George Ezra closes the festival.
Example, The Hunna and Circa Waves will also headline the King Tut's Stage across the weekend at the park.

However, as reported by the Evening Times, the announcement did not go down well, with thousands criticising the lineup on social media.
This morning, it seems the condemnation is still ongoing after TRNSMT tweeted: “Catch you in July #HereWe #TRNSMT2019.”

Luxury music festival Fyre - which cost punters up to $12,000 a ticket - hit headlines across the world in 2017 after it was called off amid scenes of “complete and total chaos.”
Music lovers were supposed to be treated to the height of luxury in the Bahamas but, upon arrival, they reported being met with tents instead of villas, cheese sandwiches instead of gourmet food, delayed luggage and poor security.
Many attendees documented their underwhelming experiences on social media, and the event’s promoter Billy McFarland later pleaded guilty to wire fraud charges.
