On Monday TRNSMT announced the full line-up for their 2019 festival hours after it had leaked online.
After hosting world-famous acts such as Radiohead, Queen and The Killers, music fans across Glasgow had big hopes ahead of the big reveal on Monday.
Taking to Facebook with a live video, organisers drip-fed the acts playing. But as the line-up was revealed, fans became less and less impressed with the bill.
Users soon began to share their thoughts on the bands playing at Glasgow Green with a Facebook video from TRNSMT attracting over 100,000 comments.

Alex Muir Worlds wrote that it was "the biggest downgrade from last year"
Heather Scott wrote: "Great line up pal cheers, sons crying"
As part of the announcement, organisers had promised some of those getting involved free day tickets for the festival.
However, Tom Metcalfe said: "Dinny bother giving me the free tickets a dinny want them."
Thousands of critical comments have now been posted in reply to the video.
Graeme Strachan said: "When are the main acts being announced as none of these are anywhere near headline material."

Bethany Houston added: "The elevator music is better than this lineup."
Hannah Turner commented: "I wouldn’t even take free tickets to that."
Feedback on Twitter was not much better for organisers.
Niamh Mcilraith said: "I could throw a better festival in my f****** back garden."
I’d rather wash my face with a cheese grater for 3 days straight than attend @TRNSMTfest 2019 with that line up. #TRNSMT2019

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
