It’s now been a week since the line up for TRNSMT 2025 was announced, so we wanted to share our thoughts on some of the bands and musicians who are performing at the festival.
We know that Biffy Clyro are going to be electric and that people can enjoy a good singalong to Jake Bugg, but wanted to showcase some of the other acts we know will be great.
Here are seven musicians and bands we can’t wait to see at TRNSMT 2025.
1. Fontaines D.C.
Fontaines D.C. will be heading back to Glasgow next summer after a memorable night at the OVO Hydro on their Romance tour. They are easily one of the best bands to see live right now. | Getty Images

3. 50 Cent
50 Cent is undoubtedly one of the biggest names who is performing at TRNSMT in 2025. He performed two nights in Glasgow back in November 2023 and sold out the OVO Hydro. | AFP via Getty Images
4. Kneecap
Kneecap will be heading to TRNSMT off the back of picking up seven prizes at the British independent film awards. The band sold out two nights at the Barrowlands in November and their fans include Noel Gallagher, Paul Weller & Ed Sheeran. | Mark Bickerdike
