Calvin Harris to headline final day of TRNSMT festival
Tens of thousands of music fans have been lapping up the acts on the final day of Scotland’s biggest music festival.
This year’s TRNSMT at Glasgow Green will conclude on Sunday night with a set from chart-topping DJ Calvin Harris.
However, gig-goers have been warned to plan their travel home in advance due to ScotRail’s reduced timetable, which has meant many services from Glasgow will stop running at about 21:00.
The three-day event saw Liam Gallagher headline Friday night, with Castlemilk singer Gerry Cinnamon topping the bill on Saturday.
Sunday was kick-started by Rejjie Snow on the main stage, followed by Irish singer CMAT, who was a lively figure onstage as the sun emerged and temperatures rose.
Over Friday and Saturday 25 people were arrested for offences including sexual assault and drugs.
The finale of the festival is going head-to-head with the Euro 2024 final between England and Spain, and a number of early arrivals clearly had their minds on events in Berlin with plenty of Spanish – and a few English – flags being worn and waved by punters.
However, the football has proved a problem for some of the acts.
Rock band Enter Shikari told BBC Scotland News they were hoping the game went to extra time, as it otherwise clashed with their headline set on the King Tut’s stage.
Guitarist Rory Clewlow joked. “We threatened to pull out! We did talk about having a wee phone set up to keep an eye on it, but it would be doing a disservice to the fans.
“99% of the audience will be supporting Spain, so we can’t really share the game with them either.”
The band, who topped the album charts last year with their seventh album A Kiss For The Whole World, were delighted to be back in Scotland.
Drummer Rob Rolfe added: “We have a lot of history with the King Tut’s venue – it was one of the first places we played in Glasgow.
“It holds a special place in our hearts, so it’s an honour to be playing there today. It feels a bit like going full circle.”
Other acts performing include dance duo Chase & Status, electropop singer Alison Goldfrapp and Sprints, who brought their abrasive rock to the Tut’s stage.
Around 50,000 people have attended each day of the event, which first ran in 2017.
