Speaking about the new stage at TRNSMT Festival, DF Concerts’ Aarti Joshi said: "The Queen Tut’s Stage is a very important addition to TRNSMT Festival.
"As a company, we are committed to helping to close the gender play gap and at TRNSMT specifically, we have focussed on providing a platform for core female acts at a grassroots level to help them become the bill toppers of the future. Of course, as an industry, we have a long way to go but we feel this is a real step in the right direction.
"With what will now be three stages of exceptional music to choose from, TRNSMT fans have a lot to look forward to and we’re very excited about artists like ST.MARTiiNS, Cara Rose, Scarlett Randle, and Chlobocop to name a few - the talent on our doorstep is of such an incredible level and we’re looking forward to celebrating from 12-14 July at Glasgow Green."
The announcement comes after the success of the sold-out Queen Tut’s event back in March that saw Glasgow favourite King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut renamed in celebration of International Women's Day.
TRNSMT is returning to Glasgow Green for its third year with with acts such as Stormzy, Catfish and the Bottlemen, George Ezra, Gerry Cinnamon set to headline.
