Can you enter and leave TRNSMT as Scotland's biggest music festival one day away?

Daily Record10-07-2025
You might want to leave the festival grounds for a multitude of reasons but there are important points to note
TRNSMT, the country's biggest music festival, is just one day away. The three-day music event will hitch up in Glasgow from July 11-13 for a weekend takeover of Glasgow Green with headliners including 50 Cent and Biffy Clyro.
Snow Patrol, The Script, Fontaines D.C. and Gracie Abrams will also grace the stage. And those who have been counting down the days until TRNSMT will be happy to hear that they will be able to enjoy listening to a variety of their favourite artists in the glorious sunshine this weekend as mercury levels are set to rise as high as 28C.

Glasgow is predicted to be hotter than Tenerife, so festival-goers will need to make sure they stay hydrated and slathered in sun cream as the city is hit with a mini heatwave.

Aside from that, music lovers may be wondering how to get to and from the event, what items are banned from the grounds, expert tips for preparation and recovery, and how safe the festival actually is.
The Record has provided answers to the majority of these questions, as well as providing the food and drink vendor list for 2025 - from boujee burgers to South Asian street food - and explaining where you can watch it on TV.
But what about entering and leaving TRNSMT?
There are many reasons why Scots might need to come and go. Family emergencies, topping up on hydration supplies, meeting up with friends who happen to be in town that day, or simply having a breather may play a part.
However, TRNSMT have confirmed that there is no re-entry allowed once you're in the festival site.

That means 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.
This applies even if you still have your ticket, according to the event's website. This policy applies to all ticket holders, including VIP ticket holders.

There is no re-admission with tickets, therefore ticket holders who leave the event will not be permitted to re-enter.
In general, 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.
Many venues and events have opted to go completely cashless these days, especially after the pandemic.

Age restrictions are also something to keep in mind.
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. For some other frequently asked questions on the festival's website, please click here.

Former Ayr United women's star on her humbling coaching mission to Africa

Clare Docherty was part of the recent Scottish Football For Rwanda trip featuring coaches and young Scots players. A former Ayr United women's football star has told of her humbling experience coaching kids in Africa. ‌ Clare Docherty jetted thousands of miles to take part in an inspiring project teaching the beautiful game. ‌ Docherty, 36, joined fellow Scots coaches and youth footballers on the latest Scottish Football For Rwanda mission to pass on skills to youngsters. ‌ Now she's spoken of her dream to return - and establish an Ayr United Academy which can inspire players of the future. Clare, the head of United's women's and girls' setup, hung up her own playing boots at the end of last season before making the trip of a lifetime. ‌ She told the Ayrshire Post:"It was an incredible experience. I didn't really know what to expect as it's such different way of life out there. "When it comes to basic resources like school uniforms or shoes for children, it's a real challenge. They are so grateful for the things we take for granted in Scotland. "We went into really rural areas to hand out kit and coach the kids. Their excitement and reaction was so humbling. ‌ "The children were showing me how they make footballs with banana leaves and use those for their games. It just makes you appreciate what we have here." Clare joined her fellow coaches on the Scots project which visits Rwanda twice a year, and hails its aim to "support development of grassroots youth football in one of the world's most deserving nations." Their next trip is in October, and Clare is raring to go back and spread the word of Ayr United even more. ‌ She explained: "A group of 16 and 17-year-old kids from Scotland came with us on the recent trip for the very first time. ‌ "They've said they'll always look to do that in future because of the success this year. "I'm looking to go back on the next trip and would love to take some kids from the Ayr United Academy to help establish our own presence in Rwanda." Clare added: "It was hard in a sense to see the way some of the kids out there were living, but the happiness they got from us being there was very uplifting. ‌ "I struggled when I came back because Scottish people are always in a rush, stressed or they're angry. "Out there, they literally have nothing and are so appreciative of everything they get. It's an eye-opener. "We would spend hours with the kids just having fun, delivering the coaching sessions and giving them a chance to play football. That's what it's all about."

Kneecap describe decision to ban them from Hungary as ‘political distraction'

The trio, who are outspoken supporters of Palestine, were due to perform at Sziget Festival on August 11 and remain on the line-up on its website. Government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs wrote on social media platform X that the decision to ban Kneecap was because the group's 'members repeatedly engage in antisemitic hate speech supporting terrorism and terrorist groups'. But in a statement posted on Instagram, Kneecap described the decision to bar them from entry as 'political distraction' and pointed out that none of the group has any criminal convictions. A spokeswoman for Sziget Festival also described the move as 'unnecessary and regrettable'. 'Cancel culture and cultural boycotts are not the solution,' she added. The statement from Kneecap said: 'To the tens of thousands of fans who we were buzzing to see in person at Sziget, we're sorry we won't be with you. 'The authoritarian government of Viktor Orban say we 'pose a national security threat'. 'Which is f****** outrageous coming from a man who welcomed Netanyahu, a wanted war criminal, like a hero just a few weeks ago. 'There is no legal basis for his actions, no member of Kneecap has ever been convicted of any crime in any country. We stand against all hate crimes and Kneecap champions love and solidarity as well as calling out injustices whenever we see it. 'It's clear that this is political distraction and a further attempt to silence those who call out genocide against the Palestinian people.' Kneecap have had several shows cancelled in recent months, including TRNSMT festival in Glasgow and at the Eden Project in Cornwall. They claim this is part of a smear campaign against them because of their vocal support for Palestine and criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza, which they say is a genocide. The statement posted earlier on Thursday by Mr Kovacs said: 'Hungary has zero tolerance for antisemitism in any form. 'Their planned performance posed a national security threat, and for this reason, the group has been formally banned from Hungary for three years. 'If they enter, expulsion will follow under international norms.' The spokeswoman for Sziget Festival said: 'Following concerns raised by government and pressure groups across Hungary over the past weeks at the prospect of Kneecap performing, we have liaised closely with the band and they reassured us that their performance would not contravene either Sziget's values or Hungarian law. 'Over the past 30 years, Sziget has served as a free and safe place for different cultures, hosting artists and visitors from around the world, earning significant recognition in the international community and enhancing Hungary's reputation. 'We fear that the government's decision announced today to ban Kneecap may not only damage the reputation of Sziget, but also negatively affect Hungary's standing worldwide.' Kneecap – comprised of Liam Og O hAnnaidh, Naoise O Caireallain, and JJ O Dochartaigh – were formed in Belfast and released their first single in 2017. They hit the headlines recently after O hAnnaidh, who performs under the name Mo Chara, was charged with a terror offence relating to allegedly displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah. In May, the Metropolitan Police said the group were being investigated by counter-terrorism police after videos emerged allegedly showing them shouting 'Up Hamas, up Hezbollah' and 'Kill your local MP'. The group apologised to the families of murdered MPs and said they have 'never supported' Hamas or Hezbollah, which are banned in the UK. They were also investigated over their set at Glastonbury Festival in June, but last week Avon and Somerset Police confirmed they would be taking no further action.
