An early line-up for the first TRNSMT festival was revealed in January 2017, two months after the announcement that T in the Park (also organised by DF Concerts) would not be staged that year.[1] The first festival took place over three days in July 2017[2] and the organisers said that 120,000 people attended.[3]
Shortly after the first festival concluded, a second event was announced for the following year.[4] In November 2017, the festival organisers announced a change of date.[5] The 2018 event was held over six days, split over two weekends.[6] In 2019 the event returned to being three days covering a single weekend, with a daily capacity of 50,000.[7][8]
On 24 April 2020, it was announced that the 2020 festival would not go ahead due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[9]
The Musicians' Union criticized the 2019 lineup for only 20% of the acts being female. In response the festival announced they would have a female-only 'Queen Tut's' stage.[11] When the first acts were announced for the 2020 festival the head of DF Concerts, Geoff Ellis, defended the lack of female acts announced, saying "we'd love there to be a higher representation of females but there isn't, certainly on the acts we're announcing today, it will be a while until there's a 50/50 balance" and "we need to get more females picking up guitars, forming bands, playing in bands”.[12]
