Making his return to TRNSMT, expect to hear classics, new and old, delivered in a fashion that only Liam can bring to the table in the heart of Glasgow Green. Why Him? Why Not! It’s Liam Gallagher headlining Saturday night at TRNSMT 2020.
Looking ahead to TRNSMT 2020, Liam Gallagher said:
“I love Scotland and it’s an honour to be going back to headline TRNSMT Festival.
P.s. Have I told you lately that I Love You?”
Starting the weekend with a huge headline slot on the Friday night at TRNSMTis Manchester’s own Courteeners. A true underground sensation that has forced its way into the mainstream with swinging indie hooks and singalong sermons, their unstoppable catalogue of hits are primed to go down a storm when they take to the TRNSMT stage. Becoming one of the biggest bands in the country through word of mouth, devotion and albums full of stark observations on modern life, Courteeners stand apart from the rest. Whether it’s ‘Not Nineteen Forever’, ‘Lose Control’, ‘Are You In Love With A Notion?’, ‘What Took You So Long?’, ‘Take Over The World’ or countless more, there’s no band more ready for a major festival headline set than Courteeners. With new album ‘More. Again. Forever’ signalling their next shimmering chapter, Liam Fray & Co will have the Glasgow Green crowd jumping for a landmark moment at TRNSMT 2020.
Courteeners frontman Liam Fray said:
“Scotland took us straight to their hearts, right from the very start. Starting with playing the ABC with The Coral back in 2007, we’ve always had an amazing connection with the people of Scotland. Feels like a 2nd home. To headline TRNSMT is a serious honour and we’ll be bringing a serious party. What a line-up”
One of the most exciting bands in the UK right now, Foals are primed to bring the heat to Saturday night at TRNSMT, with a sizzling and punchy set that is bound to stand as a true highlight of the weekend. Following the double release of ‘Everything You Saved Will Be Lost Part 1’ and ‘Part 2’, Foals are established as modern trailblazers – with frontman Yannis Philippakis ready to lead the Oxford quartet into an almighty frenzy next July. Joining Courteeners on Friday night is another of Manchester’s greatest musical icons, the incomparable Ian Brown making his TRNSMT debut. One of the most recognisable and influential figures in British music over the past 30 years, the famed former Stone Roses frontman released his seventh solo studio album, the acclaimed ‘Ripples’ this year. With solo hits like ‘My Star’, ‘Dolphins Were Monkeys’, ‘F.E.A.R.’ and ‘First World Problems’, Ian has always been rapturously received in Scotland. Glasgow can expect an incredible set from this true original.
Adopted as one of Glasgow’s own, platinum-selling Snow Patrol are set for an emotional return to the city at TRNSMT 2020 – after being forced into pulling out of 2019’s festival. Back and ready to bring their unstoppable array of hands-in-the-air hits to the festival on Sunday night, their position as one of the UK’s most beloved bands is destined to be confirmed as Gary Lightbody leads the Green in communal singalongs like never before. Get ready for pop hits galore, when Rita Ora makes her TRNSMT debut in 2020. Recognised as one of the most successful pop names of the past decade, the likes of ‘Anywhere’, ‘I Will Never Let You Down’ and ‘Your Song’ are sure to light up Glasgow Green for a spectacle that needs to be seen to be believed. After a storming 2019, Sam Fender looks destined for an unmissable TRNSMT moment when he takes to the stage on Friday, with his critically acclaimed debut album ‘Hypersonic Missiles’ standing not only as one of the year’s best but also as one of the biggest, landing him a Number 1 album on his first attempt. Winning the BRITs Critics Choice award, touring the globe and with huge shows on the horizon, expect Sam Fender to lead Glasgow Green through a blistering ride when he returns in 2020.
