Maximo Park said they were looking forward to returning to Glasgow.

They said: “We finished our recent UK tour with a fantastic gig in Glasgow, so we’re really looking forward to heading back – the crowds there are always so passionate.

“It’s great to be on the same stage as exciting acts like Self Esteem and Wet Leg.”

Nina Nesbitt said: “I can’t wait to play my first festival back in over two years.

“I’m even more excited that it’s in Scotland at TRNSMT. I can’t wait to play to a home crowd again.”

Easy Life said Scotland shows “always go off”, while Callum Beattie added: “You can get your singles played all over the world and sell a shed full of albums, but as a Scottish artist, I know I’m making real progress when I get asked to play at TRNSMT, Scotland’s biggest and best festival.”
