TRNSMT Festival has teased a “very special secret set” for 2026, while adding more names to the line-up and sharing the full stage splits. Find all the details below.
This year’s edition of the three-day event is due to take place on Glasgow Green between Friday June 19 and Sunday June 21. Richard Ashcroft, Kasabian and Lewis Capaldi will all headline the main stage.
Other bands and artists on the bill include Wolf Alice, CMAT, The Last Dinner Party, Sonny Fodera, English Teacher, Perrie, Loyle Carner, Big Special, NewDad, Jacob Alon and The Snuts.
Now, organisers have revealed the stage-by-stage daily rundowns for the full weekend, including smaller on-site venues like the BBC Introducing Stage and The Hangout.
They’ve also confirmed a fresh batch of acts to the “already stacked line-up”. These are The K’s, Rianne Downey, Caity Baser, Girl Group, Glasgow-based musician Tina Sandwich, Scottish indie band Vida, Irish girl group BIIRD, and Scottish singer-songwriter Blair Davie.
What’s more, TRNSMT has told ticketholders to “keep your eyes out for a very special secret set” on the King Tut’s stage. The mystery act is scheduled to perform on Friday night, immediately ahead of The Beta Band‘s closing show at the venue.
“Don’t miss out!” the post adds. You can check out the updated line-up for TRNSMT Festival 2026 here:
Earlier this year, TRNSMT adjusted some set times at this year’s festival to be able to show Scotland playing in the World Cup.
The nation has reached the World Cup for the first time in 28 years, and will be playing against Morocco at 11pm BST on Friday June 19 – the same night as Ashcroft’s bill-topping slot.
Fans attending the festival on the night will be allowed to stay behind to watch the game from Glasgow Green. It’ll be broadcast live on what the organisers describe as the “largest screens in the country”.
Organisers hinted last year that they could be amending the set times in 2026 to accommodate the World Cup coverage. TRNSMT Festival has moved to June from its traditional July dates for this summer’s event.
During an interview with NME last month, headliners Kasabian spoke about the full-throttle festival banger feel of their ninth album, ‘Act III’, and teased what fans could expect from their live gigs this year.
“We’re rehearsing already,” explained frontman Serge Pizzorno. “It’s great and the set is just full-on relentless. We’re so excited. We’re reimagining the songs and it’s an eras-defining set with songs passing through from the start, a few little surprises and some mad bits that people will recognise.
“We’re just going to give the people what they want; that’s the story of this summer. It’s an excuse to go insane.”
