TRNSMT Festival 2026: Set Times, Full Lineup, Weather Forecast and What You Need to Know

Scotland’s biggest music festival is back, baby. This weekend, 150,000 wellington boot-clad and body glitter-dappled festivalgoers will descend on the city of Glasgow for three days of dancing, partying and – thanks to the World Cup – cheering on the country’s national footy team.

We’re talking, of course, about the 2026 edition of TRNSMT, which kicks off on Friday June 19. Richard Ashcroft, Kasabian and Lewis Capaldi are headlining on Glasgow Green this year, with Wolf Alice, Loyle Carner and CMAT among the biggest names on the rest of the lineup.

Where is TRNSMT Festival 2026 and how do I get there?

As always, TRNSMT will take place on Glasgow Green (G1 5DB) in the city’s East End.

The central location means that there are plenty of options when it comes to planning your journey. If you’re planning to take the train, there are five rail stations within a 15 minute walk from Glasgow Green. These are:

• Glasgow Central Station
  
• Glasgow Queen Street Station
  
• Glasgow High Street Station
  
• Glasgow Argyle Street Station
  
• Glasgow Bridgeton Station

To plan your route, you can head to the ScotRail App here.

Glasgow Green is also within walking distance of two subway stations – Buchanan Street station and St Enoch station, both of which are less than 15 minutes on foot from the festival. If you are planning to hop on the subway, we should warn you that services won’t be available after the event on Sunday.

If the bus is more your speed, Buchanan Bus Station is around a 20-minute walk away from the Glasgow Green entrance. Coach service Citylink’s national services will also be arriving here from cities including Inverness, Perth, Kirkcaldy, Falkirk, and Aberdeen.

Due to road closures, it is not possible for cars to get close to Glasgow Green on show days. TRNSMT recommends the following four locations as the most convenient for arranging drop off or pick up: 

• Duke Street at High Street
  
• Caledonia Road
  
• London Road, east of Bridgeton Rail Station
  
• Broomielaw, west of Oswald Street

Who are the headliners for TRNSMT 2026?

Richard Ashcroft, Kasabian and Glasgow native Lewis Capaldi top the bill at this year’s TRNSMT Festival. Other big names on the lineup include Wolf Alice, Loyle Carner, Skye Newman and CMAT.
