Next year’s event will run from 19 to 21 June, moving two weeks earlier than its traditional July slot. It will mark the festival’s ninth edition since its launch in 2017.

Last year’s headliners included 50 Cent, Biffy Clyro and Snow Patrol.

Previous memorable from the festival

In 2024, Gerry Cinnamon performed an incredible headline slot on the Saturday night. Josh was there and said: “Probably my favourite TRNSMT memory.”

Josh added: “In fact, that whole weekend was amazing. I saw Liam Gallagher twelve months before the Oasis reunion. Magical.”

The following year, it was the turn of Fontaines DC to bring their magic to Glasgow Green. Here, the band delivered a stunning hour-long performance, drawing heavily from their latest album. It was one of those TRNSMT sets that will live long in the memory.
