TRNSMT is a music festival first held in Glasgow in July 2017. In 2018 the event (which does not include overnight camping) will be held over five days at Glasgow Green: 29 June – 1 July and 6–8 July.

History

An early line-up for the first TRNSMT festival was revealed in January 2017, two months after the announcement that T in the Park would not be staged that year.[1]

The organisers said that 120,000 people attended over the three days.[2] Shortly after the first festival concluded, a second event was announced for the following year.[3] In November 2017, the festival organisers announced a change of date.[4]

Awards

TRNSMT was named 'best new festival' in December 2017 at the UK Festival Awards in London.[5]
