TRNSMT organisers and partner agencies have shared a series of tips for music fans ahead of Scotland’s biggest festival, which is kicking off this Friday.
Fan safety and enjoyment is DF Concerts & Events’ top priority and fans are encouraged to go online for all the latest travel, timings and event safety information before making their way to the festival.
PLAN YOUR JOURNEY
PLEASE travel by public transport and plan your journey to and from in advance.
There are plenty of options via coach, bus, train, subway and taxi which will get you onsite in time for the gates opening each day.
Set times are available on the TRNSMT app.
YOUR WELFARE
CHECK the weather beforehand and be prepared – apply sun cream if it’s hot, and wear appropriate clothes for rain and sunshine.
Eat – Have a good meal before you go out and eat regularly throughout the day
Hydrate – Drink about half a pint of water (or up to a pint if it’s hot weather) every hour and never leave drinks unattended. It’s equally as important not to over hydrate. There are free water points at the bars.
Rest – Make sure you get enough rest the night before and take breaks, especially if the weather is hot.
Pace yourself – space out alcoholic drinks with juice or water and know your limits.
Illegal drugs and herbal/legal highs are not permitted. Anyone found with illegal drugs will be handed over to the police.
Festivals are not the best place to experiment – large crowds can be overwhelming.
Avoid mixing – mixing drugs, including alcohol and medicines, puts you at risk of an overdose.
If you or a friend feel unwell at any point, please visit the welfare areas.
Drugs and alcohol can lower inhibitions but it is your responsibility to make sure any prospective partners are able to give consent to any sexual contact.
Look after your hearing, take regular breaks from loud music and don’t stand too close to the speakers. Earplugs are available from the welfare tent.
KEEP BELONGINGS SAFE
YOU’LL need your ticket at all times – wristbands won’t be distributed to those with a general admission ticket, so please look after it and keep it safe and dry.
Bring only what you need – there will be ATMs available and outlets will take cards.
Cigarettes will not be available for purchase on site on the second weekend.
SECURITY & DELAYS
EXPECT queues and searches on entry and please be patient. Arrive in plenty of time before gates open.
There will be a significant security and police presence, including armed police. The stewards are there to help you.
PROHIBITED ITEMS
THE following items are not allowed on site: Flares, fireworks or smoke emitting devices, drugs, bags bigger than A3 size, weapons, umbrellas, drones, professional cameras or cameras with removable lens, glass, folding or inflatable chairs, laser pens, selfie sticks.
