Glasgow's TRNSMT festival which debuted this year is to expand its shows to a second weekend in 2018.

The main festival weekend will take place over three days from Friday 29th June to Sunday 1st July 2018, with a further two shows taking place the following weekend on Friday 6th and Sunday 8th July 2018, all still at Glasgow Green.

Festival organisers DF Concerts say they're currently finalising the finer details and will be in touch with all TRNSMT Early Bird ticket holders and deposit scheme buyers shortly. Those who have already purchased their tickets or entered the deposit scheme, should rest assured that they will have the chance to curate their own unique TRNSMT Festival experience in the light of this news.

CEO of DF Concerts, Geoff Ellis, said: “After such a successful first year in 2017, we’re absolutely delighted to extend the transmissions at TRNSMT Festival into two weekends to better the experience for the amazing TRNSMT fans next year. We’re bringing even more of the best artists from around the world to Glasgow Green and making sure Glasgow is the place to be this summer. The event is now established at the heart of the Scottish music calendar and we are looking forward to announcing the line-up for both weekend soon, as well as the additional festival aspects TRNSMT has to offer, so stay tuned!”

Leader of Glasgow City Council, Cllr Susan Aitken said: “Although TRNSMT is still a new event, Glasgow already has a global reputation for live music, with famous venues and legendary audiences. Between now and next summer, it is important that everyone involved focuses on making TRNSMT the best event it can be – and one which is supported by and benefits the local community. Cultural tourism is extremely important to us and a festival, held in the city’s premier events space at Glasgow Green, will play a key role in bringing people to the city from all over Scotland and further afield. That is not only good news for the thousands of people who will enjoy the event; but for hundreds of city businesses in the tourism, leisure and hospitality sectors that support thousands of jobs.”
