Can you spend cash at TRNSMT and other festival FAQs answered
TRNSMT is kicking off next weekend, July 11 to July 13, with 150,000 festival-goers set to embark on a three-day stint of music, booze and general revelry. Headliners for this year's event include 50 Cent, Biffy Clyro and Snow Patrol.
Artists like The Script, Gracie Abrams, and Fontaines D.C. will also be making an appearance at Glasgow Green over the weekend. But such a large event with so many attendees can easily turn hectic, so it's crucial to know what to expect ahead of the festival.
One vital thing to be aware of is how you can pay for food and drink on the festival grounds, as many venues and events these days have opted to go completely cashless (especially after Covid).
Here's everything you need to know.
Can you spend cash at TRNSMT?
Like many others these days, TRNSMT festival is completely cashless, meaning payments throughout the entire festival site can only be made via bank card or contactless device.
So, if you're usually a cash person, do not forget to bring a contactless gadget such as your phone or smart watch, and bringing your bank card as a back-up wouldn't hurt either.
Which items are allowed or forbidden in the TRNSMT site?
Small bags, sun cream, and collapsible water bottles are allowed on the festival site. Power banks, hand sanitiser and lip balm are also permitted.
However, chairs, large bottles, bags bigger than an A4 sheet of paper and external food and drink are not allowed to be brought into TRNSMT.
What is the age limit to attend TRNSMT?
All festival attendees must be a minimum of 16-years-old, and ID may be required upon entry to the site.
A driving licence or provisional licence, or an ID with an intact PASS logo, such as a Young Scot Card, can be used as valid ID.

Can you leave and come back into the festival?
Unfortunately, once you're in the festival grounds, you may not leave and re-enter, meaning that once you're in, you're in for the day.
Of course, attendees may leave whenever they want, but once they have left the grounds, they can't come back in.
What food will be available at the festival?
A wide range of food and drink offerings will be available at the festival that cater to all dietary requirements.

When does the box office open and are there physical tickets?

All tickets to the event are mobile tickets that will appear on your Ticketmaster app a week before the festival.

Exact date Scotland to be blasted by 25C European heatwave ahead of TRNSMT weekend
It's a far cry from the weather at last year's event FRENCH FRIED Exact date Scotland to be blasted by 25C European heatwave ahead of TRNSMT weekend Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MUSIC lovers heading to TRNSMT are set for scorching weather. Forecasters say the country's soggy summer is set to dry up – heralding a heatwave for the music festival.

It's a far cry from the weather at last year's event when revellers had to deal with wind The BBC Weather Service is predicting day-long rays and highs of 25C (77F) for Glasgow Green on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The Met Office definition of a 'heatwave' is when the mercury breaks 25C for three days in succession. Met Office forecaster Jonathan Vautrey says the settled conditions are a result of the 'Azores High' where warm air arrives here from the South Atlantic via France. He said: "It's turning drier in the south west because we have high pressure beginning to build its way in from the Azores. 'While there is the possibility of fronts slipping into Scotland and Northern Ireland over the next few days, this high looks as if it will build in more widely across the UK, midweek onwards. 'That will lead to fewer showers, more sunny spells and also climbing temperatures.' American rapper 50 Cent is the headliner on Friday night and is expected to roll out hits such s In Da Club and Candy Shope. While the following night, Kilmarnock's own Biffy Clyro will top the bill while Ireland's Snow Patrol will close things the following night. How lethal £1 'jungle pills' that cause monkey hallucinations have ravaged UK town where 'zombies' pass out in bus lanes Other promising highlights include Gracie Abrams and Fontaines D.C. Teams at the Glasgow Green site will spend the next few days finalising the plans with fencing already covering the park and access barriers in place. Drivers are being urged to avoid the area with several road closures in place while a major police safety operation will also get underway.

Fontaines D.C fan told to ‘put Palestinian t-shirt in the bin' at London gig
Fans flocked to see Fontaines D.C perform at their biggest-ever gig but were reportedly shocked to be confronted by security over Palestinian flags and clothing. One fan, of the 45,000-strong crowd, claimed he was asked to remove his Palestinian football top and 'put it in the bin' before entering London's Finsbury Park. Fontaines D.C have been vocal in their pro-Palestine stance, alongside their support acts from Saturday's gig such as Amyl and the Sniffers and Kneecap. Kneecap's political statements led to the Prime Minister attempting to have them removed from the Glastonbury lineup and the arrest of Mo Chara. For months, fans have been bringing flags and other red, black and green clothing to Fontaines D.C gigs to show their support for the Free Palestine movement. However — in the wake of protest group Palestine Action being proscribed as a terrorist organisation by the government — security at the concert were reportedly confiscating these items. 'I was on the way into the Fontaines D.C concert today in Finsbury Park and I was stopped three times by security saying this top was a political statement and that I was not allowed in,' shared Velvetshaggy on TikTok. He was wearing a Palestinian football top, with the country's name written in Arabic on the front. The gig-goer claimed that if he had been wearing an Irish or English football shirt, 'they would have allowed it in'. He continued: 'At one point, they literally told me that I had to put it in the bin. I took my t-shirt off and was told 'you have to put it in the bin or you're not allowed in'. 'Obviously, I didn't do that. I said 'I'm not gonna do that'. They were like 'Do you know what it means?' They asked me to translate and I told them what it said.' For the eighth year, 150,000 festival goers will descend on Glasgow Green from 11-13 July to see the liked of 50 Cent, Gracie Abrams and Biffy Clyro, and you could be there!

'This is happening at a music festival that is known for being political,' the music fan added. 'We've got Kneecap and Fontaines D.C speaking today, and I [almost] wasn't allowed in with a literal football jersey of Palestine.' Fans pointed out that Fontaines D.C themselves sold a football jersey that featured a Palestinian flag with 'free Palestine' written in Irish, with proceeds going to Medical Aid in the country. Other fans shared their experiences in the comments, with one woman saying she hid her Kneecap merchandise out of fear of confiscation. 'I had an Irish balaclava, the same one made for dj provai, and I got told by a nice lady before I went through security that I couldn't take it in so to put it somewhere,' said thiccccmami. 'I managed to smuggle it in my bra🥲 it's literally Kneecap's merch.' 'My friend got told when they were searching her bag that they were specifically looking for Palestine flags over anything else,' added 'They were confiscating Palestine flags!!!! And told me I couldn't wear my 'don't attack Iran badge'!!! Insanity,' wrote rosieee4. However, it appears some people did get through security with their Palestinian clothing and flags. One commenter, bodakgypsc, claimed to have 'worked at the gig' and said: '70% of people were wearing this exact shirt and loads of people had Palestine flags.' 'There was so much Palestine stuff at the gig today,' added harveyraoul. 'Who did they think was performing?! Disgrace.' Fontaines D.C also showed a 'Free Palestine' message on the screen and fans could be seen waving flags in the crowd on grainy livestreams. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video During the gig, ever-political Kneecap came out in front of a screen that read: 'Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people.' Taking aim at Sir Keir Starmer, they said: 'You know what's 'not appropriate' Keir?! Arming a genocide… [sic]'. Throughout the night, various chants of 'Free, free Palestine' broke out in the crowd, encouraged by the artists. More Trending Also performing were Amyl and The Sniffers, who previously put out a statement defending Bob Vylan after their Glastonbury performance. The group wrote: 'The British media in a frenzy about Bob Vylan and Kneecap but artists all weekend at Glastonbury from pop to rock to rap to punk to DJs spoke up onstage and there were toned of flags on every streamed set. 'Trying to make it look like just a couple of isolated incidents and a couple of 'bad bands' so it appears the public isn't as anti-genocide as it is, and trying to make it look like Bob and Kneecap are one-offs, instead of that the status quo has shifted majorly and that people are concerned and desperate for our governments to listen.'
