Sam Fender at TRNSMT: Likely setlist for Glasgow gig, timings, other acts playing, and age restrictions

Thousands of fans are to make their way to Glasgow Green for the TRNSMT Festival, with Sam Fender amongst the headliners.

Sam Fender will be playing the second day of Glasgow's TRNSMT festival.

When Sam Fender played Glasgow's TRNSMT last year he was second on the bill to local hero Paolo Nutini, but this year he's stepping up to headline the main stage.

It's just the latest achievement for the Geordie singer who has found huge success since the release of his second album 'Seventeen Going Under' in 2021, including a now-legendary set at Glastonbury.

This year has already seen him support his idol Bruce Springsteen in Italy and  headline two shows at Newcastle's St James' Park, playing to around 100,000 people.

Here's everything you need to know before going to see him play Glasgow Green.
