TRNSMT Festival 2026: Scotland’s Biggest Music Celebration Returns

TRNSMT Festival 2026 returns to Glasgow Green, Scotland, bringing three days of live music, big crowds, and pure summer energy to the heart of the city. Since its debut in 2017, TRNSMT has become Scotland’s flagship urban festival, drawing tens of thousands each year for a celebration that blends chart-topping acts, indie favourites, and cutting-edge newcomers — all set against Glasgow’s famous skyline and electric atmosphere.

Set on the city’s historic green beside the River Clyde, TRNSMT’s charm lies in its accessibility and scale: a major festival experience without the mud, camping, or long trek. Fans pour in each day to discover artists across multiple stages, grab street food and craft pints, and soak up that unmistakable Glaswegian warmth.

While the 2026 line-up is yet to be announced, TRNSMT’s track record guarantees an impressive mix. The 2025 edition saw headline performances from Calvin Harris, The 1975, and The Killers, alongside standout sets from Becky Hill, Declan McKenna, Liam Gallagher, Sam Fender, Kasabian, Arlo Parks, Tom Grennan, Catfish and the Bottlemen, and The Snuts. Previous years have welcomed legends and crowd favourites such as Lewis Capaldi, Paolo Nutini, Foals, Sigrid, Chase & Status, Royal Blood, and Billie Eilish, cementing TRNSMT’s reputation as one of Europe’s top city festivals.

The vibe is unmistakably Glaswegian — passionate, friendly, and always up for a singalong. Expect food stalls celebrating Scottish and global flavours, eco-conscious drinks tents, and afterparties spilling into Glasgow’s nightlife once the main stages close. Hotels, B&Bs and city apartments fill up fast, but everything’s within walking distance or a short subway hop from the festival gates.

With its perfect mix of accessibility, star power, and unmistakable energy, TRNSMT Festival 2026 promises another unforgettable weekend — where the sound of summer rises from Glasgow Green and every chorus echoes through the city streets.
