How can you get to TRNSMT?

TRNSMT is one of the more accessible festivals, thanks to its city centre location. Glasgow High Street is the closest train station when coming from the city centre. If you’re heading to TRNSMT from the east end, Bridgeton is also nearby.

Buchanan Street bus station is a 25-minute walk from the west entrance. Buses run between Glasgow and Edinburgh throughout the night.

If you’re driving, there are a number of car parks within a 15-minute walk - including Albion Street, Duke Street and Montrose Street.

Who are the TRNSMT 2026 headliners?

Richard Ashcroft returns to Glasgow Green as your Friday night headliner. Kasabian will be sure to electrify audiences on Saturday before Lewis Capaldi closes the festival on Sunday evening - in what is sure to be an emotional return.

Must See - Friday

Cliffords take to the King Tut’s stage on Friday afternoon. When we caught them at King Tut’s last year, it felt like a band on the precipice the big time. Up and coming Glasgow artist Alice Faye performs on the BBC Introducing stage on Friday. The legendary Beta Band make their TRNSMT debut. If the weather isn’t too great, they’ll be hoping to "Dry the Rain".

Must See - Saturday

Falkirk’s Brogeal lit up the King Tuts stage last year and they’ll no doubt be set to smash it once again this year on the main stage. Ireland has proven fertile ground for modern folk and rock in recent years, Madra Salach are the latest to step onto that conveyor belt. Kasabian have forged an impenetrable relationship with Scotland for more than 20 years. There’s no doubt, they will once again blow the lid off things.

Must See - Sunday

Westside Cowboy have built up a reputation as one of the UK’s most exciting live acts in recent years. You can catch them on the King Tut’s stage. CMAT has had a meteoric rise over the last few years, she is definitely one to look out for. Lewis Capaldi is a sure fire must see. It will be a hometown return for the 29-year-old.
