The public on their dream TRNSMT line-ups

We headed out onto Buchanan Street to ask people who would be on their dream line-up.

One member of the public said they’d like to see Drake perform at TRNSMT, while another went for Kendrick Lamar.

One man said seeing Metallica would be cool, adding that he had just missed out on getting tickets for the band’s upcoming tour.

Another member of the public named Gerry Cinnamon, Jamie Webster and Kesha as acts he’d have on his dream line-up.

Another man said the late Glasgow born musician Alex Harvey would be on his dream line-up. He said: “He [Alex Harvey] played at the first Knebworth and he blew away all the topliners because he was a combination of musical genius and also a touch of the theatrical, which made it even more interesting.

“Harvey came out of a period which you can't really recreate because he was a lot of menace, as well as a lot of humour, so I don't know if you get bands that could really come up with that and plus it was a strange mixture of rock and music hall almost.”
