Today we had the first announcement from TRNSMT with a line-up reveal for Scotland’s newest music festival. Taking place at Glasgow Green from 7th – 9th July, TRNSMT will feature headline performances from Radiohead, Kasabian and Biffy Clyro.
The 1975, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Belle & Sebastian, London Grammar, George Ezra, Two Door Cinema Club, Twin Atlantic, The Kooks, Blossoms, Rag‘n’Bone Man and Circa Waves form the remainder of the current line-up for one of the most highly anticipated music events of the Scottish summer. There will me more names announced in the build up to the glittering weekend of rock ‘n’ roll.
Glasgow Green will play host to a non-camping festival, with the East End of Glasgow as a backdrop.
Fresh on the heels of the release of their ninth LP, the critically acclaimed A Moon Shaped Pool, Radiohead make their return to Glasgow, playing on Friday 7th July. Since the release of their self-titled debut album in 2004, Kasabian have gone on to become one of the biggest rock bands in the country and will headline TRNSMT on Saturday 8th July. Ayrshire’s Biffy Clyro who emerged from the Glasgow rock scene to achieve international success will entertain their fervent fan base on Sunday 9th July.
Local heroes Belle & Sebastian will support Radiohead on the Friday in a combination that will delight nineties music fans. For more recent indie music thrills, look to The 1975 and Welsh four-piece Catfish and the Bottlemen.
In a statement, organisers confirmed that “TRNSMT will offer entertainment over two stages – with a line-up that will highlight talent across the musical spectrum, from the most influential band in fans’ lifetime to their favourite new, under the radar artist on the King Tut’s Stage – powered by Utilita. Fans will enjoy music, arts, culture, bars and restaurants as they customise their individual festival experience across the 3 days.”
Geoff Ellis, Head of DF Concerts, commented: “We’re incredibly pleased to be bringing such a fresh, new festival to Scotland. TRNSMT will bring together the best in live music, from global acts to the best cutting edge artists on the King Tut’s Stage, powered by Utilita – against the iconic skyline of Glasgow. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be announcing the rest of the line-up, as well as all the additional experiences that TRNSMT will have to offer such as mouth-watering street food and a diverse offering of drinks. Stay tuned – there’s plenty more to come!”
Councillor Frank McAveety, Leader of Glasgow City Council and Chair of the City Marketing Bureau, said, “Glasgow lives and breathes live music. Our city has venues, events and – most importantly – crowds to match anywhere in the world. TRNSMT is already shaping up to be an exciting event that will add to that global reputation – and become a big date in the city’s summer calendar.”
