In other news, TRNSMT has adjusted some set times at this year’s festival to be able to show Scotland playing in the World Cup.
The nation has reached the World Cup for the first time in 28 years, and will be playing against Morocco at 11pm BST on Friday June 19 – the same night as Ashcroft’s bill-topping slot.
Fans attending the festival on the night will be allowed to stay behind to watch the game from Glasgow Green. It’ll be broadcast live on what the organisers describe as the “largest screens in the country”.
Elsewhere, during an interview with NME in May, headliners Kasabian spoke about the full-throttle festival banger feel of their ninth album, ‘Act III’, and teased what fans could expect from their live gigs this year.
“We’re rehearsing already,” explained frontman Serge Pizzorno. “It’s great and the set is just full-on relentless. We’re so excited. We’re reimagining the songs and it’s an eras-defining set with songs passing through from the start, a few little surprises and some mad bits that people will recognise.
“We’re just going to give the people what they want; that’s the story of this summer. It’s an excuse to go insane.”
