One of the country’s most successful exports, Paolo Nutini made an appearance in the festival crowd in 2018, much to fans delight, but will finally take to the stage next summer for what is set to be an unmissable performance.

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of ‘Is This It’ in 2021, an album that defined a generation, the New York band will delight Scottish fans by making a huge return for cinch presents TRNSMT in July 2022. ‘You Only Live Once’, after all, so be there for one of the best performances of the summer.

Returning in 2022, it’s Scotland’s one and only; Lewis Capaldi. Firmly cementing his place as an international superstar, the Bathgate singer-songwriter had the biggest selling album in the UK for two years in a row with his acclaimed debut ‘Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent’, which was also named as Spotify’s most played album in 2020. Lewis Capaldi has had an incredible few years, securing his first Grammy nomination and US Number One, a certified platinum album and sold out headline tour. Having first played cinch presents TRNSMT back in 2017 on the King Tut’s Stage before graduating to an opening slot on the Main Stage in 2018, the singer went on to create one of the most memorable festival moments in recent history with the now legendary Chewbacca mask walk on in 2019. A hometown hero like no other with some of the biggest selling singles of recent years, including ‘Someone You Loved’ and ‘Grace’, Lewis Capaldi’s headline set will provide a few surprises along the way.

Joining the star-studded bill across the festival is beabadoobee, Foals, Fontaines D.C., Jimmy Eat World, Sigrid, The Snuts and Wolf Alice. American rockers Jimmy Eat World will travel across the pond to make their appearance and one of Scotland’s most exciting new artists, The Snuts will bring hits from their Number 1 Album ‘W.L’ to Glasgow Green. Foals will make their cinch presents TRNSMT debut in 2022, following the most successful era of their career to date with 2019’s ambitious two-part album ‘Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost’. Making a welcomed return to Glasgow city centre is pop sensation Sigrid and 2018 Mercury Prize winners Wolf Alice. Fellow Mercury Prize nominees, Fontaines D.C. will also return in 2022 after their electrifying performance at the festival’s King Tut’s Stage in 2019.
