Rockstar Energy presents TRNSMT, the biggest live event in Scotland, has become a staple in the Glasgow music scene over the years, attracting thousands of festival-goers every year. Organised by the same people behind T In The Park, Rockstar Energy presents TRNSMT is bringing world-class headliners in 2026, including our very own Lewis Capaldi, Richard Ashcroft and Kasabian.
TRNSMT is a massive music festival taking place at Glasgow Green, first started in 2017. The idea behind the festival is that there are no tents, so party-goers can go home for a good night’s rest at the end of each day.
Past lineups have featured some of the most famous artists from around the world, including Paolo Nutini, Arctic Monkeys, Calvin Harris and The 1975, as well as up-and-coming local talent, making the festival a firm favourite among music fans across Scotland.
Every year, TRNSMT attracts up to 150,000 festival goers across the weekend dates, transforming Glasgow Green into a hub of live music, food and community. Guests can expect performances across multiple stages and hubs, including the main stage, King Tut’s Stage – known for platforming future headliners early in their career like Gerry Cinnamon, Lewis Capaldi and Sam Fender – as well as the BBC Introducing stage, The Hangout, two dance stages, and The Reset area, offering fans at TRNSMT 2025 could meet artists at the BBC Radio 1 Photobooth.
