Radiohead, Kasabian and Biffy Clyro to headline TRNSMT

Radiohead, Kasabian and Biffy Clyro will headline the first ever TRNSMT festival in Scotland.

They'll be joined by The 1975, Blossoms, Rag'n'Bone Man and Circa Waves.

The brand new festival takes place on Glasgow Green from Friday 7 July to Sunday 9 July.

It's being put on by the people behind T in the Park, which is on hiatus after experiencing problems with its ground in Perthshire.

"We've been working on the line up for quite a while," organiser Geoff Ellis has told Newsbeat.

"I don't think Radiohead have played Scotland since 2008, so to have them with Kasabian and Biffy Clyro as the three headliners of a new festival is fantastic."

Belle & Sebastian, Catfish and the Bottlemen, George Ezra, The Kooks, Twin Atlantic and Two Door Cinema Club are on the bill too.

Geoff has also revealed that, like at T in the Park, there's going to be a stage dedicated to up-and-coming bands, named after the legendary Glasgow venue King Tut's.

"King Tut's has played its role in breaking lots of new bands including Kasabian, Biffy Clyro and Radiohead," he explains.

Organisers announced last year that there would be no T in the Park in 2017, after an argument over rare birds nesting on the festival's site.

But unlike T in the Park, TRNSMT is based entirely in a city centre.

There'll be no camping, but organisers are encouraging people to book accommodation in Glasgow for the weekend instead.

It's perhaps not your traditional festival experience, but Geoff thinks this could be a good thing.

"If you want to go to one of Glasgow's wonderful night clubs after the festival finishes you can do that, and if you want to spend a day experiencing Glasgow's fantastic culture you can do that too.

"So I think we'll see a real mix of people coming - some of them just for one day and others for the whole weekend."
