THEY CAN’T WAIT…CAN YOU?

Amy Macdonald – “It feels surreal to be preparing to do a show again – It’s been that long! I’m so excited that cinch presents TRNSMT is going ahead, and I can’t wait to get on the stage. I think it’ll be quite an emotional weekend and I apologise in advance for any tears. I can’t wait to hang out with a Glasgow audience again.”

Becky Hill – “I feel incredibly lucky to be back playing festivals & especially cinch presents TRNSMT. I think lockdown nearly broke all of us & I cannot wait to headline the King Tut’s Stage & play the music I’ve released over the past 15 months live to people who want to forget about the hardship of the pandemic & enjoy music, the atmosphere & being side by side once again.”

Dylan John Thomas – “Grew up 5 minutes for Glesga Green, now I’m playing there. Mental. This will be dynamite.”

Tamzene – “Couldn’t be more excited to come back to cinch presents TRNSMT. I loved playing back in 2019 and look forward to sharing some new music with a beautiful Glasgow crowd.”

Twin Atlantic – “Getting to play in front of our city after such a turbulent time in everyone’s lives is going to feel so liberating and memorable. Every time we play a big outdoors show at home it feels like a landmark moment for the band. Sharing the stage with a legend like Liam Gallagher too is such an honour. Can’t wait to put on a show for everyone including our family and friends right on our doorsteps.”
