GLASGOW are you ready?! It's all happening this weekend in our dear green place as TRNSMT Festival opens its doors for the very first time in Glasgow Green.

It's Scotland's newest festival after T in the Park organisers announced that after 20 years it was to take a break in 2017 and instead the new TRNSMT would take its place.

The line up looks incredible with the likes of Radiohead, Belle and Sebastian and London Grammar all set to take the stage over the next three days. I'm sure those lucky enough to have tickets certainly won't be disappointed.

The one big difference about this festival however is that there is no camping on site because the location is just so central it's not necessary.

Now, I'm not going to lie, I'm just not a camping kind of gal. Don't get me wrong, I've given it my best shot over the years but it's always ended in disaster for me.

For example, there was the time my friends and I camped at V Festival in Chelmsford. We didn't really plan ahead and ended up sharing a one man tent between the three of us.

It was a tight squeeze to say the least and absolutely freezing at night. Our neighbours were a lively, nocturnal bunch and we’d forgotten to pack sleeping bags.

In fact, we’d forget anything practically for camping but somehow managed to remember the two boxes of Prosecco and a bottle of Midori (long, long story), surprise, surprise!

We arrived to set up camp and we were green with envy at our surroundings, eyeing up tents that were the size of small apartments pitched right up beside us with conservatory styled eating areas complete with deck chairs and tables. And the smell of sizzling bacon in tiny travel frying pans cruelly tormented us. These people were serious campers and this wasn't their first rodeo.

The worst of all came on the final night of the festival. We were on our last legs, completely shattered and tried to get a good night's sleep before setting off for home in the morning.

It was particularly freezing in the tent that night and, due to the lack of space, my wee face was pressed up against one of the walls as I snoozed.

I was just drifting off when all of a sudden I felt a tremendous warmth against my cheek. I was so lovely and as I cuddled into the warmth I felt so happy until all of a sudden an overpowering smell filled my nostrils and I quickly realised that the stench was, in fact, vomit that some poor inebriated gentlemen had relieved himself of moments earlier all down the outside of our tent.

I jumped up and started screaming as did my friends when they realised what had happened. That was it, we abandoned ship and gave the culprit, who was now snoring like a wild beast against the tent, a right earful as we left.

We high tailed it right out of there, straight into the car park and drove all the way home utterly traumatised.

At least the festival goers won't have to worry about any camping mishaps and can instead stay in the comfort of their own homes or in a hotel room with four brick walls.

I hope everyone attending TRNSMT this weekend has a fantastic time and that everyone stays safe. Music is most definitely food for the soul and it's wonderful our great city gets to play host to some of the world's most successful bands and artists.

Now, if only we can convince the rain gods to shut off the taps in the sky for a few days eh?

I've stuck to my guns this week and refused to break my May to October heating ban out of pure principle and have instead got the old winter onesies out of hibernation.

It's actually unbelievable to think it's July but, just to be on the safe side, maybe festival goers should get their thermals out this weekend, just in case!
