Are kids allowed in TRNSMT? Age restrictions ahead of festival
Festival goers must prove they are above the minimum age requirement before being allowed entry to TRNSMT. TRNSMT, one of Scotland's biggest and most popular festivals will take place from Friday, July 11 to Sunday, July 13. A-list artists including 50 Cent, Biffy Clyro and Snow Patrol will all headline this year's event at Glasgow Green, which usually sees around 150,000 attendees across the weekend. The TRNSMT festival has been running since 2017, and is widely considered a replacement for the iconic discontinued festival T in the Park, which last took place in 2016. But as TRNSMT looms, questions are rising on the rules that have been put in place for the massive music event, including which items are prohibited and the age restrictions for entry onto the site. So, are kids allowed at TRNSMT, and is there a minimum age requirement for entry? Here's everything you need to know. Are kids allowed at TRNSMT? While many Scottish festivals allow parents to bring young kids or even babies with them, everyone under the age of 16 is forbidden from entering the TRNSMT grounds. The festival follows the national Challenge 25 policy, meaning attendees can expect to be asked for ID when entering the festival site or when buying alcohol. The TRNSMT website reads: "A Challenge 25 policy will be in place. You must provide valid, in-date, original photographic ID (no photocopies or expired passports). "Entry to the festival is restricted to those 16+ and bar access is restricted to those 18+.Your ID must clearly resemble you and entry will be denied for false or borrowed IDs, which is a criminal offense. "Security checks will be thorough, and if we cannot quickly verify your ID or resemblance, you may experience delays. "We work with Police Scotland to ensure a robust process and fake IDs will be confiscated and returned to the issuing organisation." Which forms of ID are accepted at TRNSMT? The TRNSMT website shares the following list of accepted IDs: UK/International Driving Licence (Full/Provisional) UK/International Passport PASS card (Young Scot, CitizenCard, My ID Card) with a clear, untampered hologram. If the hologram is damaged, apply for a replacement as it won't be accepted. Also taking to the TRNSMT stage this year are artists including Fontaines D.C., Gracie Abrams, and The Script. Confidence Man, Jamie Webster, Inhaler, Wet Leg and the Kooks will also perform over the weekend. Glasgow Green will see another exciting gig in the run-up to TRNSMT, when rock band Catfish and the Bottlemen take to the stage, supported by Scotland's own The Fratellis plus The Wombats on July 9. TRNSMT was also central to a scandal this year when Irish rap trio Kneecap were pulled from the line-up. The band were axed after member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh was charged by the UK government with a terror offense after being accused of holding up a flag in support of Hezbollah at a gig last year. However, Kneecap are still due to perform at Glastonbury, and Liam has been released on bail and will appear back in court in August. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
