TRNSMT 2020 cancelled
Last updated 24th Apr 2020
Organisers of the TRNSMT in Glasgow are confirming it won't be going ahead this summer after Nicola Sturgeon warned Scots that social distancing could continue into 2021.
A statement said: "We are absolutely gutted to announce that due to the comments made by the First Minister of Scotland during the daily briefing on 23rd April, TRNSMT will be unable to go ahead as planned in July 2020.
"We did not want to take this step but it is unavoidable. The health and safety of our fans, artists, staff and community will always be our top priority.
Lewis Capaldi and Liam Gallagher were due to return to the line-up with Courteeners, Ian Brown, Foals, Rita Ora and Snow Patrol confirmed to play over the weekend of July 10-12.
The statement continued: "We are now working hard with all the artist teams to try to get the 2021 line-up as close to this year’s as we can and will be able to update on this fully over the next two weeks. We’d like to thank the artist teams for their hard work in helping us to try and achieve this.
"This 2021 line-up announcement will be made soon and you will be able to either hold on to your ticket and carry it over to next year's festival in order to secure your place well in advance or request a refund. Your ticket provider will be in touch so look out for an email coming from them soon. Please only get in touch with them if you haven’t been contacted after 14 days as they are very busy at this time.
"We can confirm that next year’s festival will take place on the weekend of 9-11th July 2021."
