Sam Fender will headline TRNSMT 2023 festival in Glasgow

Sam Fender will be one of the headliners at next year's Trnsmt festival in Glasgow.

It will be the fourth time Sam has played the festival held in Glasgow Green. He was confirmed as a headliner along with the 1975 and Pulp.

Sam, who is set to play two sold-out homecoming concerts at St James' Park in 2023 and will top the bill at Trnsmt on Saturday July 8, said: "Glasgow is genuinely one of my favourite cities in the world to play, the crowd’s always so up for it.

“We’ve always loved playing Trnsmt and can’t believe we’re finally going to be headlining it next year. It’s gonna be huge, see you there.”

Trnsmt's organisers described Sam as "Glasgow's adopted Geordie" as they announced this 2023's main acts.

Geoff Ellis, festival director at Trnsmt, said: “After the success of this summer’s sell-out event, we are excited to launch 2023’s line-up.

“It’s one of our biggest yet, led by festival legends Pulp, Glasgow’s adopted Geordie Sam Fender and returning previous headliners The 1975, George Ezra, and Kasabian along with some new and established names, with plenty more acts still to be announced including some of the best emerging talent on offer.

“We know that while everyone is feeling the squeeze from rising prices, there’s an unwavering demand for live music. We’ve made the decision to keep our weekend general admission tickets at the same price as last year for the initial on-sale and it’s important to us that experiencing the thrill and excitement of live music is accessible to as many people as possible.

“If Glasgow Green had a roof, it will be well and truly raised next summer and we can’t wait to welcome fans back.”

Trnsmt will take place on Glasgow Green from July 7 to 9 next year.

Presale tickets will be available to buy from 9am on November 3. A general sale will then be live from 9am the following day (November 4).
