I saw Calum Bowie at TRNSMT 2025 in Glasgow
From his cheeky smile to his fun and upbeat tunes, he brought a feeling of joy to the sweltering Glasgow Green. After kicking off his set with his opening tune, he immediately commanded the audience's attention, shouting, 'How are we feeling TRNSMT?' which was met with a roar of applause. The Edinburgh-based singer displayed what can only be described as a look of utter amazement, but with that voice and confidence, we weren't surprised at the warm reception. (Image: Gordon Terris, Newsquest) Despite being relatively new on the scene, Bowie demonstrates a talent and showmanship that is far beyond his years. As he sang his big hits like Call Me Back and Time That I Can Borrow, Calum spoke on his journey from the King Tut's stage to the main stage at Scotland's biggest festival. He revealed that he played the King Tut's stage at the festival two years ago, and that performing on the main stage today was a 'dream come true'. He went on to thank the crowd for coming down early to watch his set. He added: "I really appreciate you coming down early, and it's sunny in Glasgow, who would have thought?" One thing that is clear about Bowie is that he knows how to play to his audience. From teaching the crowd the chorus to his song Anthem to asking people to sing along or clap, Bowie well and truly got revellers set up for a day of music, fun and sunshine. And the crowd was loving it too as a Calum f****** Bowie chant broke out, much to the singer's amusement. Before ending his set with his banger Love Lost, Calum spoke on his upcoming gig at the Barrowland Ballroom, which will be his biggest headline show in the city so far. He said: "I'd love to see some of you there, so come see this ugly mug." Clearly inspired by rock artists like Same Fender, Calum Bowie is certainly one to watch. What an artist, what a showman and what an asset to Scotland's music scene.
