TRNSMT Day 1: Full Friday set times, banned items, weather forecast, what VIP gets you - can I bring a vape?


It’s the first of three days of music at Glasgow Green - with rapper 50 Cent headlining.
TRNSMT has taken place in Glasgow since 2017, when Radiohead, Kasabian and Biffy Clyro topped the bill.
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 before moving up the bill.
This year Biffy Clyro are back to headline, along with Snow Patrol and 50 Cent, from Friday, July 11 - Sunday, July 13.
Here’s everything you need to know if you are going along for the first day.
