GLASGOW’S newest music festival TRNSMT has won a top award.
The event, which was held for the first time at the Glasgow Green the year, was a winner at the UK Festival Awards on Thursday.
Trnsmt, which featured headliners Kasabian, Radiohead and Biffy Clyro, was commended in the Best New Festival category and was also the only Scottish event shortlisted in that group.
The ceremony, which took place in London, is dedicated to recognising and celebrating the collective accomplishments of the nation’s most beloved industry.
The Best New Festival category was decided by a combination of public vote and main judging panel.
Trnsmt was shortlisted in this category alongside 2Q Festival Lincoln, Cotton Clouds Festival, Elrow Town London, HRH Metal and Minety Music Festival.
Geoff Ellis, who is Head of DF Concerts, said: “I am really grateful to everyone who voted for us, the wonderful artists, Glasgow City Council, the inspiring hard working team who pulled it all off… and of course the magnificent audience!”
