Queen snapped up as TRNSMT headliner

Rock giants Queen are to headline Glasgow’s new outdoor festival, organisers have revealed.

The groundbreaking band will appear with their American frontman Adam Lambert at the TRNSMT festival in July.

Founder members Brian May and Roger Taylor will be performing with Lambert at Glasgow Green nearly half a century after the band were formed in London.

Queen will be joined by fellow rockers The Darkness and long-running Scottish pop outfit Texas.

They will all be appearing on the second weekend of the festival, which has been extended to a fiveday event this summer.

Festival director Geoff Ellis said: “As bona fide music legends, Queen’s show promises to be a spectacular highlight in Scotland’s music calendar this summer.”
