TRNSMT 2026: Who are 23 acts fans think could perform in Glasgow next year?
It's not even been 24 hours since TRNSMT 2025 saw Snow Patrol close out this year's festival, and yet people are already speculating who 'could' be performing in 2026.
But given that a number of acts are set to release new works within the run-up to next year's event, some of the usual names have been surfacing on social media, while some other names seem a little more plausible, if we're being (brutally) honest.
From the grapevines of TikTok, X, Reddit, and Blue Sky, we've picked out some of our favourite artists that have been suggested, coupled with a look at what upcoming album releases are taking place, to add to the speculation who 'could' perform at TRNSMT 2026 – as we wait for tickets to go on pre-sale hopefully a little later this week.
