Celtic Daft rapper smashes Glasgow TRNSMT 2025 set

The tree-sheltered area was the perfect reprieve from the unrelenting sun on the first day of the festival. A sizeable crowd gathered to see Bemz headline one of the smaller stages on Glasgow Green today, June 11. The Nigerian-born hip-hop star, who now lives in Glasgow, beamed onto the stage and ushered the crowd forward.

Opening with saxophone-laced Bando 2 Studio, he finished the track with a 'you all doing alright' which received cheers from the crowd. He took a moment to thank the crowd for coming down to his set. On the day of the festival being headlined by global rap icon, 50 Cent, Bemz declared: 'During lockdown, I watched people on the scene here saying they were the king of this and that. 'And I thought, 'we ain't achieved anything yet'.' Before launching into track after track, which cement a soulful high-energy sound as his five-piece band lays down beat after beat.

Bemz pauses to wipe the sweat out of his eye as he acknowledges the 28-degree heat that was baking the festival. He demanded energy from the crowd for Raging Bull, which lived up to its name as he stormed from side to side on the stage, hyping up the crowd. Saxophone lead breakdowns had the small-but-mighty packed crowd bouncing as Bemz bounced in with high-energy hooks. 'That was f***g crazy!' the rapper declares to cheers from the adoring crowd. Bemz gives thanks to rock band The Snuts for bringing him out on the main stage three years ago. He then brings out his friend, Neil, who had a dream of playing at a festival, to give him the same opportunity. 'You all don't realise but you've just made that man's life', beamed Bemz. Neil joined the band for Mulla on bass for the swagger-heavy song, which echoes: 'I'm just trying to live the life that I see in the movies.'

New tune DnD made with The Snuts was an instant hit and had the crowd dancing with hands raised high. Zidane-inspired tune prompted a Bemz-led boogie as the crowd bounced to every syllable. Celtic-daft Bemz signed off the stage with a hit, 26, draped in an Irish flag collected from the crowd. The Friday bill was stacked with rap royalty, and Bemz made his case to be Glasgow's shining hip hop star.
