TRNSMT 2026: Festival stage times could change due to clash with Scotland World Cup game

The first night of TRNSMT, the festival which sees thousands of revellers flock to Glasgow Green every year, clashes with the national team’s match against Morocco on June 19.

Scotland are set to play the North African country in their second match of the tournament, with kick-off scheduled for 11pm.

TRNSMT headliners usually perform from about 9.30 until 11pm, with former Verve singer Richard Ashcroft set to close the first night of the festival next year.

But according to the BBC, DF Concerts boss Geoff Ellis has hinted that show times could be altered next year to avoid a clash between the festival and Scotland’s historic World Cup performances.

He said: "Obviously it's very early days as the World Cup and TRNSMT are still over six months away.

"As you would expect there is flexibility in timings and we will be ensuring that music fans can enjoy the TRNSMT line up as well as watching Scotland's second game on the road to bringing the World Cup home to the birthplace of football."

The BBC also reported that a source close to TRNSMT said organisers are considering showing the game at Glasgow Green once the festival has finished.

Richard Ashcroft, Kasabian and Lewis Capaldi will close out the three days at Glasgow Green, with the likes of Wolf Alice, Loyle Carner, CMAT and Amy MacDonald also playing.

Doors will open at noon each day, with last entry at 9.30pm. Currently, bars are set to close at 10.30pm, with the music coming to an end at 11pm.

There had been rumours that T in the Park could return in place of TRNSMT next year, but instead the event was planned for slightly earlier in the year than usual - from June 19-21 rather than its traditional mid-July slot.
