Where to find free water at TRNSMT 2025 as heatwave temperatures forecast
TRNSMT weekend is finally here. The festival kicks off at Glasgow Green today, Friday, July 11, and runs until late on Sunday night, July 13.
Tens of thousands of music lovers will descend upon one of the city's most iconic parks to hear from global stars like The Script, 50 Cent, Fontaines DC, Biffy Clyro, Jade, Snow Patrol, and many more.
And with the Met Office predicting that Friday will be the first day of a heatwave in Glasgow, it looks like it's going to be a scorcher. But while the searing sun will make it a memorable festival, it's crucial to look after your health too.
The weather forecast for day one of TRNSMT suggests revellers will bask in temperatures of up to 27C, and it'll still be in the 20s when they are leaving after 50 Cent finishes up around 11pm.
With doors opening at noon, it's sure to be a long day in the heat for some music fans. And with Glasgow Green so open to the elements, there aren't loads of areas to stay in the shade.
With that in mind, it's extra important to stay hydrated throughout the event. And while many people will turn to a pint for that, making sure you're also drinking water is key. And, thankfully, it's a lot cheaper than the price of a beer, cider, or G&T at the bar.
TRNSMT chiefs have set up free water points throughout Glasgow Green, where fans can refill their bottles whenever they want. Attendees can bring their own soft or collapsible bottles to the festival and utilise these drinks stations.
On their website, TRNSMT organisers wrote: "We've set up free to use water points across the site where you can refill your bottle again and again.
"It's super simple… bring a soft or collapsible water bottle and use our water points to keep your bottle filled. Make sure your refillable water bottle is made of soft, collapsible material and holds 500ml or less."
According to the TRNSMT site map, there are 12 water stations on the festival grounds, though not all of them will be accessible to all punters.
There are stations close to each main bar, as well as at some of the picnic bench sections, the Wellbeing Area, inside the VIP Arena, and in both of the pens at the Main Stage.

While we all enjoy basking in the sun, the heatwave temperatures expected this weekend bring about their own health challenges. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde have issued some advice for those attending TRNSMT in order to keep people safe.
The health board has urged those heading to Glasgow Green make sure they are well hydrated, spend some time in the shade if possible and, when they are in direct sunlight, wear suncream and have appropriate clothing to cover up.
Dr Emilia Crighton, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde's Director of Public Health, said: 'This weekend is looking like a great time to get outside for warmer weather.
'No matter what you're doing, please enjoy the good weather safely by protecting yourself when in the sun, staying hydrated, and having common medicines to hand.
'We know tens of thousands of people will be heading to TRNSMT, and we hope everyone has a fantastic time. We ask festivalgoers to look after themselves and others so everyone can enjoy the event safely."

'We were rejected on Dragons' Den – our business is changing children's lives'
A father and son duo who were rejected by all five investors on Dragons' Den are now 'changing children's lives' with their innovative product. Co-founders Matt Palfrey and his 12-year-old son Max entered the BBC One competition with the hope of securing a £50,000 investment for a 5% stake in their clothing company for neurodivergent people. After an engaging opening pitch from Max, who is one of the youngest people ever to pitch in the Den, Peter Jones, Deborah Meaden, Touker Suleyman, Sara Davies and Steven Bartlett weighed up whether to invest. But despite 'loving' the product, the Dragons decided that the brand lacked a clear vision, meaning the father and son walked away empty-handed. Now, however, both Matt and Max have received high praise from customers for helping young neurodiverse children, who typically display autistic or other neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behaviour, such as with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). In a statement on their Comfa company website, the brand is described as having one clear aim: 'To develop innovative sensory solutions for the challenges faced by Neurodivergent children and their families, empowering them to navigate and thrive in today's overwhelming world.' The idea was initially created by Max back in 2021 who wondered whether he could integrate one of his beloved fidgets into a t-shirt. To Max and his family's surprise, there was 'no clothing manufacturer in the entire world producing t-shirts with built-in fidgets'. Since then, the two have attempted to build a 'sensory-friendly clothing range' that combats 'scratchy seams and labels', and have even teased the idea of finding similar t-shirts and clothing for adults. Writing a review on the site, Ellie Foster said: 'My son was excited to try this new style of t-shirt and he absolutely loved it. 'He loved how soft the fabric was, he couldn't feel the seams against his skin, or any labels. Most of all he loved the popits, he found them straight away and was just fiddling with them the whole time.' Samantha Tilley added: 'Clothing can be a daily battle. My son loves the Fidget-t, he complimented the softness, loved no labels and was so happy to have the pop it built in. A big thumbs up from our household.' Meanwhile, Anna Lyons wrote: 'The fidget t-shirt is everything it was promised it would be. It came beautifully packaged and has been worth waiting for. 'The fabric is soft and stretchy, really good quality. The fit is good – the 16+ is nicely baggy on my 10 year old (just how he likes it) and will fit him for ages. He's been popping the poppits without even realising, helping regulation and concentration without making a big thing of it. 'Thank you Max & co at Comfa. We will definitely be ordering more. To have TRULY sensory friendly clothing is wonderful.' In addition, Emma Black said: 'Received my order today and I'm happy crying. My fussy neurodiverse 13 Yr old is giggling and happy stimming from trying on her t shirt. 'She says it's the best piece of clothing she's ever owned. Suffice to say I'll be ordering more. Completely worth the wait – thank you team and Max.' More Trending This comes after it was revealed that two Dragons' Den stars transformed their company into a six-figure business, despite rejections from five investors. The brothers were pitching their seasoning and sauce brand Lumberjaxe, and requested £90,000 for a 20% stake after turning over more than £100,000. But despite being turned down, their company is now said to be worth £250,000. View More » Matt and Max are featured on Thursday night's episode of Dragon's Den on BBC One and iPlayer. Got a story?

25 Years Since High Fidelity, It's Time To Reevaluate The 'Rob' Dating Cliché
They're men who talk over you during the music round in a pub quiz. Who scoff if you're not well versed in the historic feud between Nas and Jay-Z. The types who can sing the words to 'This Charming Man' by The Smiths and 'Death Kink' by Fontaines DC without a karaoke machine but can't remember your friends' names. All tireless iterations of Rob from High Fidelity, Nick Hornby's seminal novel which was published 30 years ago and adapted for film in 2000. After reading the book for the first time earlier this year, I was struck, nay floored, by Rob both as a character and a product of the male psyche. Rob is of the 'victim of the universe' disposition. A music obsessive running his own record store, Rob is distinctly unsatisfied with his lot in life. After being dumped by yet another girlfriend, the one he lived with who his mother would have loved to see him marry, Rob decides to visit the ghosts of girlfriends past to work out what he's getting wrong. The trouble is Rob continuously fails to understand his part. Even when he admits to cheating on his girlfriend while she was pregnant and then not supporting her through her subsequent abortion, he's got a justification stowed safely up his sleeve. John Cusack Stars in High Fidelity. (Photo By Getty Images) In Rob's attempt to sift through his past loves, he exposes his thinking to the reader and/ or audience. We hear of girlfriends who he never took seriously because they weren't impressive or good looking enough. We hear of girlfriends who were too frigid in high school. We even hear of a girlfriend who was so out of his league that he dumped her to beat her to the chase. 'What am I gonna do now?' Rob, played by John Cusack in the film, asks. 'Just keep jumping from rock to rock for the rest of my life?' He is exactly the type of man waiting on a manic, pixie dream girl to show up at his record store wanting daily sex and no commitment with just enough music knowledge to keep up with him, but not enough to make him feel emasculated. What seems glaringly obvious when reading or watching High Fidelity through a modern lens is the correlation between Rob's encyclopaedic obsession with music and his complete inability to express his emotions and form healthy, lasting relationships. Perhaps if he spent a little less time organising his record collection and a little more refining his communication skills, he would find a suitable rock on which to settle, or even a human being to jump from rock to rock with. This is perhaps one of the many reasons Disney+ and Hulu launched a feminist High Fidelity remake in 2020 where Zoe Kravitz, whose mother Lisa Bonet was in the original film, reimagines the main character as Robyn. The show was cancelled after one season. I wondered, 30 and 25 years after the book and film came out respectively, have things really changed? Do '90s nightmares like Rob still walk amongst us? And are the female versions as omnipresent? 'Whenever I tried to get my ex-boyfriend to talk about his feelings he would say, 'I'm not as complicated as you think I am,'' explains Ellie*. 'That was a hill he was willing to die on, but he was SO passionate about music. Hip Hop in particular – really confessional, emotionally charged rap was all he'd listen to. Which was funny because he went to public school.' Anna* had a similar experience. 'I was dating someone once and we'd go to gigs and stuff and he wouldn't ever give his emotions away. Like, he would look bored and miserable and stand in the corner of the venue but afterwards say he loved it.' While Emma* claims she dated someone who 'could only express himself through writing music rather than listening to it', but lo and behold, could never express himself with her. As in High Fidelity, this behaviour might manifest itself through the romantic play of recommending an album or song or creating a playlist for the person they're dating. 'There's something emotionally stirring about a well written song that would be difficult to convey with words alone,' offers Rose*. 'I think many guys realise this. It's harder to convey exactly what you feel by simply stating it.' Bobbie* agrees. He weighed in to say expressing yourself through music 'takes the pressure off', especially for men who find 'expressing their feelings verbally difficult'. 'It could also be that he is simply trying to seduce you,' he admits. This was true of Gemma's* experience with a man she met on Hinge. 'I was dating this guy for several months and he showed me a lot of new music and made it feel like it was a shared experience. Then I found out he had a girlfriend the whole time and had been playing her the same songs too, probably so he didn't get us confused. After things ended, I saw them together at a concert we said we'd go to.' Perhaps time doesn't heal all wounds – and neither does music. Robs still exist in their droves in the modern dating scene. It's even a theme that cropped up in Lena Dunham's new Netflix show, Too Much. Never mind the protagonist Jessica's new boyfriend Felix, a tortured musician with dirty fingernails and a lot of baggage, who incidentally went to public school too, but there is one iconic scene where her ex-boyfriend Zev throws a tantrum because Pitchfork didn't publish one of his reviews. Textbook Rob behaviour. John Cusack and Iben Hjejle in High Fidelity Photo: Melissa Moseley/SMPSP Touchstone Pictures Of course, it shouldn't be entirely ridiculed. It's no secret that (a lot of) men struggle to express their emotions, especially when compared with women, and this behaviour is most likely a result of societal repression. If swathes of men grow up without knowing how to healthily express their emotions and fear vulnerability as a weakness, then it's no wonder they might be prone to shutting the world out with their headphones on. But, from where I'm standing, this behaviour is hard to distinguish from the viral and now widely lambasted 'main character syndrome' that sees individuals relentlessly overestimate their own importance and minimise other people's. Men using music as an outlet to work through their mental health and emotions is positive only if it extends to their real-life relationships too. If you know the track list for Channel Orange like the back of your hand but struggle to tell your friends you love them or to text a girl back after a third date then, just like Rob, there's still plenty of work to do. Luckily for him, it worked out ok in the end. Maybe if he stopped imagining his life as a music video it could have been even better. The names used in this article have been changed.

T-Pain, MGK and Zedd to headline Sphere Stage at this year's Las Vegas Grand Prix
We're just four months away from the return of the Formula 1 racing to Las Vegas and now we know the musical acts who will perform on the Sphere Stage in the popular turn-crazy T-Mobile Zone.

Food and beverages will be available for purchase. The T-Mobile Zone is located on the backside of the circuit near Turn 5G and also covers turns 7 through 9, the most challenging and technical portion of the race. Where do I purchase tickets?
