Stormzy, George Ezra and Snow Patrol for TRNSMT
STORMZY, Catfish and The Bottlemen and George Ezra will headline the TRNSMT music festival as it returns to Glasgow this summer.
Grime artist Stormzy will headline on Friday July 12, with Scottish favourite Gerry Cinnamon and Years & Years also performing.
Saturday July 13 will see Richard Ashcroft, formerly of The Verve, play on the main stage at Glasgow Green, with Bastille appearing before headliners Catfish and the Bottlemen.
Snow Patrol return to Scotland on Sunday July 14, with The Wombats, The Kooks and Jess Glynne also playing that afternoon before George Ezra closes the festival.
Example, The Hunna and Circa Waves will also headline the King Tut’s Stage across the weekend at the park.
Geoff Ellis, TRNSMT festival director, said he was “relieved” to finally announce the billing. He said: “I’m very pleased with it, particularly on the Friday having Stormzy and Gerry Cinnamon – it’s fair to say they’re both people’s poets really.
“They’ve both come from the street, they’re both very real and very connected with their fans, both have really energetic live shows. Whilst they’re very different musically, I think they’ve got a lot more in common than people would think at first look. I think that’s a great line-up on the Friday.”
The festival’s Facebook page gave fans clues about who was playing during a live quiz from 5pm, with the line-up worked out and announced shortly after.
When asked about a possible return for scrapped summer festival T in the Park, Ellis said: “It’s all TRNSMT.”
