The headliners of the main stage at this year’s Trnsmt may have generated some controversy and a talking point for music lovers, but let’s turn our attention to the biggest names gracing the underrated King Tut’s stage.
Example
Elliot John Gleave, otherwise known as Example, is set to take to the King Tut’s stage on the first day of Scotland’s biggest festival. In the last decade, he has collaborated with the likes of Calvin Harris, Pet Shop Boys and Professor Green. He is also in the middle of a UK tour which included a date at Glasgow’s SWG3, one of the city’s most unique concert spaces, and regularly surprises fans on Twitter by generously offering places on the guest list at his shows as well as backstage access. This man is sure to please fans at Glasgow Green in July with a mix of his well-known chart hits and his more recent dance oriented releases.
The Hunna
Hertfordshire rock band The Hunna will headline the King Tut’s stage on the middle date following on from their April date at the Barrowlands. Inspiration from the likes of the 1975, You Me At Six and Kings of Leon the band has dropped two studio albums since getting together in 2015. For those who are not as interested in the Saturday main stage this will be a good opportunity for the band to add to their expanding legion of Scottish fans.
Circa Waves
Fronted by lead vocalist Kieran Shudall, most of us are familiar with some of their most played songs like T-Shirt Weather and Fossils all thanks to Friday nights at Propaganda in Kokomo and formerly the O2 ABC. However, 2019 has already saw the band drop two singles in preparation for the release of their third studio album What’s It Like Over There? in April. With nearly 100 million streams on Spotify alone, this group is likely to give The Kooks, The Wombats and the Amazons, from the main stage, a run for their money when it comes to competing for fans’ attention.
Tickets for all three dates are on sale now.
