What can’t you bring to TRNSMT? Chairs, selfie sticks and all the banned items

What can’t you bring to TRNSMT? Chairs, selfie sticks and all the banned items (PA)

TRNSMT 2022 is just around the corner as this year it returns to its prime summer spot.

Due to coronavirus concerns, last year’s festival was postponed for several months and took place in September. However, this year the Glasgow music event will return to its original July slot.

Last year’s event saw Liam Gallagher, The Courteeners and The Chemical Brothers headline the main stage, which returned to Glasgow Green for the first time since 2019.

But as the event approaches, many will be wondering what you can and can’t take with you. While some may be obvious, some forbidden items are not, so here’s a list of everything you can and can’t take with you to TRNSMT.

Items you CAN take to TRNSMT 2022

You can bring a bag to TRNSMT, but it’s recommended to only bring one if it is really necessary. If you do bring one, it cannot be larger than an A3 size of paper. If it is it will not be permitted.

Your sunglasses, sun cream and makeup are all okay to bring with you, as are cigarettes, hand sanitizer, ear plugs, hats, wipes and lip balm.

You can even bring an empty bottle no bigger than 500ml. However, it can’t be a fancy reusable one.

Blankets are also allowed if you fancy giving your legs a wee break, and so are cameras (non-professional).

Items you CAN NOT take to TRNSMT 2022

The list of forbidden items is long, and many are self-explanatory. No weapons of any kind will be permitted, nor will drugs, smoke canisters or boomerangs/frisbees.

While a blanket is permitted, chairs are not.

For pictures, you can take cameras but professional cameras will not be allowed. And your selfie game may suffer slightly, as selfie sticks are also forbidden.

Other banned items include umbrellas, glass or metal bottles (including fragrance) and flags.

Food and drink will also not be permitted into the event.
