Kyle Falconer makes TRNSMT a family affair bringing kids along for festival
Kyle didn't need a make-up artist for his appearance at TRNSMT, having brought his three eldest children along.
Scots rocker Kyle Falconer didn't need a make-up artist for his appearance at TRNSMT yesterday, having brought his three eldest children along.
It was left to his eight-year-old daughter Wylde to style him, including applying pale blue eye shadow for his King Tut's stage set.
The Dundee -born rocker, 38, who now lives in Spain, said: 'I've got my kids – Wylde, Winnie and Jet – here and my youngest is in Spain with the mother in law.
'They are obsessed with Gracie Abrams so I took them on the plane with me to see her.
'They are really excited. Kids are not meant to be at TRNSMT. There is a great buzz. My kids like to see a lot. They go to a lot of festivals and think TRNSMT is cool.'
Kyle, who found fame with Dundonian rockers The View, added: 'I got my daughter this morning to dress me up onstage and do my eye make up.
'The kids were right at the front for my set.
'This is the sixth time I've played her. The first time I played here was on the main stage. I have played the main stage with The View before.
'Today, I'm quite chuffed with the band I've got. It felt good onstage. I have a new album coming out. I felt in control.
In May, 2023, the singer brawled with his bandmate Kieren Webster, throwing punches during The View's concert at the Deaf Institute in Manchester.
But Kyle insists the pair are on good terms and The View are simply having time out.
Speaking to The Record backstage at TRNSMT, he said: 'We're just taking a break. There's loads of other stuff going on. They've got kids and I've got kids. I have my own music because I've got a studio so that's how it works.
'The last time Kieren and I wrote together was when we were kids. But the relationship is all good. We're completely fine and there is nothing lingering there.'
He added: 'I'm going to have a couple of beers and watch Gracie Abrams. I'm just getting the kids geared up for it. It's going to be absolutely buzzing. It's the only record I've heard for the last three months.
"They've been playing her for years and she has been getting bigger. They're obsessed with this music. All my kids have vinyl players so I get them all records and I've found them all playing Gracie Abrams. They refused to share so I had to get them all a Gracie Abrams record each.'
