TRNSMT 2024 is just a few days away and anyone planning to head to Glasgow Green this weekend should plan how they are going to get there.
With thousands expected to attend Scotland’s biggest music festival, which takes place from Friday, July 12 until Sunday, July 14, it’s going to be a busy few days for public transport services. There are plenty of ways to get to the festival from all parts of Scotland, including trains, buses and the event also features accessible parking for those with disabilities.
Camping at TRNSMT is prohibited, so organising transport to and from the festival in good time could help you from getting stranded. It’s also important to know that some forms of public transport may become less available throughout the day.
To get even more organised, ticket holders should check to see what items are banned at TRNSMT and what they can expect to pay for drinks. If you’re on the hunt for TRNSMT tickets, Ticketmaster still has some available here.
Here’s what to know about getting to TRNSMT 2024.
Walking
