Words by Innes Reid. 

It’s official, TRNSMT have just booked the indiest kid out there right now, Stormzy.

The fan favourite has been announced to perform on the Saturday (8th July) of the 3-day festival along side Kasabian, Catfish and the Bottlemen and many more, and it’s definitely not something to miss!

The news comes just a few days after the release of his new album ‘Gang Signs and Prayers’ which features ‘Big For Your Boots’ as its lead single. We’re only 3 months into the year but Stormzy has already shown that he is definitely one to watch in 2017.

His climb to being on of Britain’s golden boys of the music scene has seen him amass MOBO Awards, BBC Sound Of… listings, a top 10 single, and performances on Later with Jools Holland – the first unsigned rapper to appear on the show. His MC skills and blistering verses translate into searing live performances, whether he’s performing on his sold out headline tour or with megastar Ed Sheeran at the 2017 BRIT Awards.

Early bird tickets are available for TRNSMT until 7th March from http://www.trnsmt.com.
