It’s the biggest music event of the Scottish summer – and it is heading for Glasgow Green.

The first ever TRNSMT (it’s pronounced Transmit, despite the daft spelling) festival will take place from Friday to Saturday.

With T On The Park on hiatus for this year at least, the new bash has stepped up with a top line-up of talent, spread over a smaller area and hopefully avoiding the problems that blighted T the past couple of years.

As well as the Main Stage, several smaller stages will offer up an array of local talent.

Here’s the Evening Times guide to who to see and what to do this weekend…

Headliners: TRNSMT has three veteran festival headliners to top the bill. The most anticipated will be Friday’s set from Radiohead. Thom Yorke and company come to TRNSMT fresh from headlining the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury, where their set veered from material that was tricky for less keen fans to a run of crowd-pleasers near the end, including Creep. Who knows what they’ll chose to do in Glasgow?

More straightforward will be Kasabian on Saturday, and Biffy Clyro, who close proceedings on Sunday. Kasabian has a new album, For Crying Out Loud, but they’ll pummel the crowd with a barrage of their biggest hits. Expect sing-a-longs galore. Biffy, meanwhile, were a natural choice. T regulars for years, they are a rare band who arguably sound better the bigger the venues get. The past year has seen them rock Bellahouston Park and the SSE Hydro. Glasgow Green should be no different.

Five to see down the bill: It isn’t just about the headliners, of course. The Main Stage has plenty of other talent booked. Friday brings the distinctive tones of Rag n’ Bone Man to Glasgow. The Human singer played to a sold out ABC a couple of months and you’ll be able to hear him from miles away.

Saturday brings Stormzy, a rare hip hop performer on a bill that’s heavy on guitar bands. His Glastobury set was sensational and he’s got superstar presence. Fans who prefer their indie to grime should catch Circa Waves, who’ve got a batch of cracking tunes and are one of the day’s freshest acts.

Sunday includes festival veterans the View. It is hard to believe the rowdy Dundonians released their debut album 10 years ago – they’ve got plenty of hits, which make them an ideal wake up call. The 1975 might be a love them or hate them act, but they could easily be headliners in their own right, so TRNSMT landing them just before Biffy is a coup.

Five to see that are homegrown: The King Tut’s Stage and the Jack Rock’s stage are populated with homegrown talent, many of which is just as good, or better, than what’s on the main stage. A name on everyone’s lips is Be Charlotte, the Dundee songstress who’s already performed in Texas for the South By South West festival. Her savvy pop has star potential.

Absolutely unmissable live are the LaFontaines, a free-wheeling bundle of rock, pop, hip hop and anything else they can get their hands on. They’re playing Saturday, as are Medicine Men. The Glasgow foursome released debut album Into The Light earlier this year after a long journey to get there. Their thumping Krautrock meets psychedelia deserves a bigger audience. Also on Saturday are Glasgow group the Van T’s, the fierce surf-rock quartet who just dropped new single Fresh Meat.

Sunday includes Tijuana Bibles, who sold out two nights at King Tut’s recently and sounded immense doing so. Their swaggering, feral psychedelia should sound fantastic.

Look out for… There’s loads of other acts to see too – the Amazons bombastic rock is going places, Gerry Cinnamon and Twin Atlantic will get heroes reactions, Birmingham band Superfood have only just re-emerged and the likes of the Vegan Leather and Heavy Rapids can show why there’s a buzz around them.

TRNSMT, Glasgow Green, Friday to Sunday.
