TRNSMT 2021 line-up revealed after festival cancelled due to coronavirus

The line-up for TRNSMT 2021 has been announced after organisers were forced to axe this year's festival due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The team behind the Glasgow music event say they've been "working hard" to rebook as many of the acts who were signed up for summer 2020.

The rescheduled event will now feature headliners including Courteneers, Ian Brown, Liam Gallagher, Foals, Keane, Lewis Capaldi, Snow Patrol, Rita Ora and Amy Macdonald.

A TRNSMT statement reads: "Fans who have purchased tickets for the 2020 event can carry these tickets over, securing their place well in advance of TRNSMT 2021 – no action required.

"Once appropriate, the TRNSMT organisers will work with the local authority to progress licence applications and permissions to use the parks, as they do each year but, in the meantime, it’s important that everyone follows the advice of Scottish Government and stays safe."

Last week organisers announced they had made the 'unavoidable' decision to scrap this year's run of the popular Glasgow music extravaganza because of the pandemic.

In a statement, they said: "TRNSMT Fest Fam, 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 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."

TRNSMT 2021 will take place on July 9 - 11.
