TRNSMT Festival Draws 150,000 to Glasgow Amid Heatwave

Scotland's largest music festival, TRNSMT, kicked off in Glasgow amid a mini-heatwave with headliners 50 Cent, Biffy Clyro, and Snow Patrol over three days. The festival opened with a performance by Scottish singer Calum Bowie, who expressed initial nerves but was pleased with the crowd turnout and engagement. Other notable acts included James Bay, Twin Atlantic, The Script, and Wet Leg, with festival-goers urged by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde to stay hydrated and use sun protection due to scorching temperatures. A lineup change occurred when rock band Wunderhorse withdrew due to illness, replaced by Miles Kane. The festival has also faced some controversy, including the removal of Irish rappers Kneecap over safety concerns related to an investigation into alleged terrorism offenses. Fans of all ages, including multi-generational groups, celebrated the event with enthusiasm despite the heat and last-minute changes.
