Scottish chart-topper Amy Macdonald has surprised fans with an unannounced set at TRNSMT festival today. The beloved singer, known for hits like “This is the Life,” will grace the stage at 6pm to treat the audience to a 40-minute performance of her classic tunes and a few tracks from her latest album, titled Is This What You’ve Been Waiting For?, which dropped last Friday.
Amy, hailing from Bishopbriggs, will be taking over the Hangout stage, going by the pseudonym “Mrs. Rock & Roll.” Known for drawing in huge crowds, last year’s TRNSMT saw Travis captivating fans in the same area where Amy is set to perform.

Fans have been flooding Glasgow Green to witness stellar acts like Fontaines D.C, The Kooks, and Inhaler, soaking up the sunshine and vibes of the festival. Despite the scorching temperatures, attendees have been finding relief at the water stations and seeking shelter in the shade to beat the heat.
Among the festival attendees is Sophie MacGrain, a 22-year-old media journalism graduate from Falkirk, who has been a regular at TRNSMT since she was 16. She expressed excitement about catching Inhaler’s set and has her sights set on Gracie Abrams for the following day’s performances. Sophie mentioned the intense heat but praised the festival for the ample water stations and shaded areas, making the experience more enjoyable.
As the weekend festivities come to a close, Saturday’s main event will feature headliners Biffy Clyro, wrapping up the music extravaganza on a high note. TRNSMT’s Hangout area has also provided a relaxing retreat for attendees with activities like Bongo’s Bingo, ceilidhs, Drag-aoke, and surprise sets from renowned artists, adding an element of excitement to the festival experience.
In conclusion, TRNSMT offers a unique blend of music, entertainment, and summer fun for fans across Scotland.
