INTERNATIONAL SUPERSTARS COME TO SCOTLAND!
TRNSMT is set to bring a truly incredible mix of bands to Glasgow next weekend. Fresh from a blistering set at Glastonbury, Radiohead will take the headline slot on Friday night in what will be a truly iconic show on Scottish soil. Then there are local heroes Belle and Sebastian who are set to play their biggest ever Scottish show at TRNSMT this July. Following huge shows around the festival circuit already this summer, London Grammar and Rag ‘n’ Bone Man will also turn on the good vibes on the TRNSMT Main Stage. Saturday is all about the indie kids, with the mighty Kasabian following Catfish and the Bottlemen on the Main Stage, and a highly anticipated finalé from hometown heroes Biffy Clyro and The 1975 on Sunday night.
FESTIVAL HEADLINERS OF THE FUTURE?
Fans looking to discover some of the hottest up and coming talent and potential festival headliners of the future can head to the King Tut’s Powered by Utilita Stage, where the likes of Be Charlotte, Gerry Cinnamon, JR Green, The LaFontaines, The Van T’s, The Vegan Leather, Vistas and Wuh Oh will be showing crowds what the headliners of tomorrow have to offer.
TRNSMT is also delighted to welcome the iconic Jack Rocks Stage to this year’s festival, showcasing a wealth of new talent including Black Honey and local bands Medicine Men and Tijuana Bibles. The full line-up across the weekend includes, The Wytches, Superfood, Neon Waltz, The Shimmer Band and many more. A must-see for grassroots music fans.
KING TUT’S KNOW HOW TO PARTY!
For fans who can’t quite wait a full week to get the party started there is the Official TEST TRANSMISSION pre-party taking place in King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut on Thursday 6th July. Louis Berry & Lewis Capaldi will take to the stage for an exclusive intimate show ahead of their sets on the King Tut’s Powered by Utilita stage across the festival weekend.
HOT DJ!

STREET FOOD DELIGHTS
When it’s time to make a pit stop from all that live music, TRNSMT fans will not be disappointed with the food and drinks on offer! Lots of Glasgow’s favourite street food vendors will park up on Glasgow Green for a gastronomic feast. Fans can enjoy ice cold beer and cocktails, hearty and healthy food from Martha’s, fresh and seasonal Indian treats from Babu Bombay Street Kitchen, fresh crème brûlée from The Crema Caravan and wood fired Italian pizzas from Nomad Glasgow. Veggies and vegans are also well catered for by Goodness Gracious, connoisseurs in outdoor street food since 1989!
AFTER THE SHOW IT’S THE AFTERPARTY….
