On Tuesday, organisers announced the first 30 acts confirmed for the 2025 festival.
50 Cent will headline on the festival’s opening day, hot off the heels of his first-ever Las Vegas residency scheduled for early 2025.
His performance will mark the first rapper to headline TRNSMT since Stormzy’s set in 2019.
Scots rock band Biffy Clyro will top the bill on the Saturday while Snow Patrol will close the festival in Sunday’s headline slot.
Festival director Geoff Ellis said: “After a record-breaking sell-out in 2024, we can’t wait to have everyone back for the eighth year of incredible live music.
“We’ve worked hard to pull together an eclectic lineup including homegrown headliners and global icons, spanning a range of genres we know music fans of all ages will love.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
