Things to do at TRNSMT that aren't music gigs this weekend
While most festival-goers are there for the A-list music artists, there's more to TRNSMT than that.
TRNSMT is almost upon us, and with it comes a roster of the world's top musicians who are set to entertain some 150,000 fans over this weekend (July 11 - July 13). But while most revellers will be descending on Glasgow Green for A-list names like 50 Cent, Biffy Clyro, Snow Patrol and Fontaines D.C., there's more to the festival than watching the gigs.
In fact, there will be a variety of events, hangout areas, food vendors and stalls to be explored between seeing your favourite acts. The TRNSMT website highlights some of the non-music events available over the weekend, to ensure that if you're tired of boogying, there's still plenty of festival fun to be had.
Read on for a quick summary of some of the activities taking place that won't be appearing on the main stage.
Things to do at TRNSMT that aren't music gigs
Bongo's Bingo
The famed Bongo's Bingo is set to bring its one-of-a-kind chaos to TRNSMT this year, with a high-energy 60-minute takeover at The Hangout area.
One of Glasgow's most popular bingo events, it fuses live entertainment, rave and classic bingo.
Think dance-offs in the crowd, nostalgic anthems and an array of bizarre prizes.
So if you're looking for an energetic change from the live music, Bongo's Bingo may be the perfect choice.
But be aware that The Hangout area is for adults only, so those aged under 18 won't be able to participate.
The website doesn't state exactly when the bingo event is taking place, so keep an eye out for times to be announced.
NO MUSIC ON A DEAD PLANET stall
Last year's festival saw record-breaking signups to the international climate organisation known as NO MUSIC ON A DEAD PLANET.
This global community shows musicians and music lovers coming together to take climate action, and it is supported by Confidence Man, Tom Walker, Hot Wax, and many more artists.
Visit the NO MUSIC ON A DEAD PLANET stall to get a free temporary tattoo and find out more about the movement throughout the weekend.
The Secret Garden
Tucked away from the main stage, the Secret Garden is described by TRNSMT's website as 'your hidden oasis right in the heart of the festival'.
If you'd rather chill than listen to the thumping bass and roaring fans, or if you just need a short break, this area can offer you a relaxing chill-out spot far from the madding crowd.
Food vendors
All that dancing can make you hungry, but luckily, TRNSMT offers a diverse selection of food.
From meat-free options to classic food-truck snacks, there are several food areas dotted around the festival grounds.
