If those aren't your cup of T, read on for the lowdown on the Glasgow festival's supporting acts — both present and absent.

Isle of Wight punks Wet Leg and indie rockers Wunderhorse served up two of the best-received sets at Worthy Farm a fortnight ago, and they're ready to run it back on the banks of the River Clyde. Folk pop singer Gracie Abrams and former Little Mix member Jade were also down in Somerset.

Other highlights include Fontaines D.C., James Bay, Sigrid, The Kooks and Jake Bugg. One absolute must-watch set is that of Kerr Mercer, the soul singer from Lanarkshire who's still yet to officially release any of his music.

Country pop group Remember Monday, who were the U.K.'s Eurovision 2025 entry, have had the dubious honor of replacing Kneecap. The Irish hip-hop trio were supposed to headline the King Tut's Stage on Friday, but were kicked off the bill under government duress. Kneecap instead played Glasgow's O2 Academy on Tuesday, tickets to which sold out in seconds.

Here's how to watch TRNSMT festival live streams for free from anywhere. Scroll down for the full lineup.
