After months of speculation it has been confirmed that the TRNSMT music festival will be returning to Glasgow Green next year.
There had been rumours that T in the Park could return in its place, but instead the event is just being planned for slightly earlier in the year than usual - from June 19-21 rather than its traditional mid-July slot.
TRNSMT has taken place in Glasgow since 2017, when Radiohead, Kasabian and Biffy Clyro topped the bill and is, by quite some distance, Scotland’s largest event of its kind.

It was a replacement for the much-missed T in the Park, bringing the music into the city centre to negate the need for camping.
Since then the likes of Queen, Arctic Monkeys, The Strokes, and Pulp have graced the stage - with local heroes Lewis Capaldi and Gerry Cinnamon cutting their teeth on the smaller stages.
This year saw 50 Cent, Biffy Clyro and Snow Patrol headline, and now the dates have been confirmed speculation is growing over who will perform.
Organisers have remained tight-lipped so far, simply saying: “Ticketing and lineup announcements will be coming soon.”
Here are 17 acts we reckon could fit the bill, from local favourites to international superstars.

5. Mumford & Sons
Folk behemoths Mumford & Sons are playing Glasgow's Hydro in December in support of this year's studio album 'Rushmere'. They're a band that works well in a festival setting though, so don't bet on them not returning to Glasgow in the summer. | Getty Images for SiriusXM

6. Paolo Nutini
The last time Paolo Nutini played a gig was in 2024 when he played an intimate hometown concert at Paisley Town Hall. Not unusually - it took him eight years to release his fourth studio album 'Last Night In The Bittersweet' - he's been fairly quiet since. When he does make a(nother) comeback, TRNSMT would made a fine staging point. | Getty Images

7. The XX
It's been nearly a decade since The XX released their last album 'I See You' and played live. Since then they have been on haitus with various solo projects (often featuring each other) but have reportedly been working on a new album, recently performed on stage together at the LIDO Festival in London as part of Jamie xx's headline set, and have been confirmed for both Coachella and Primavera 2026. They are clearly taking festival bookings and so TRNSMT could be the perfect place for their return to Scotland. | Getty Images

8. Imagine Dragons
Imagine Dragons haven't played Scotland since 2018 when they sold out the OVO Hydro. There are rumours of a new album and a tour for 2026 - which could include TRNSMT. At the Hydro they performed a cover of The Proclaimers' (I'm Gonna Be) 500 Miles - now THAT would get the crowds going at Glasgow Green! | AFP via Getty Images
