TRNSMT 2023 is just days away, with 50,000 fans expected to attend Scotland's biggest music festival.
The three day event will see big names like Sam Fender, The 1975 and George Ezra and many more take to the stage at Glasgow Green from Friday. Attendees will no doubt be looking forward to the weekend ahead, but it's important to stay safe amid all the excitement.
While music festivals are full of fun, they also pose a number of risks and knowing how to stay safe on-site is essential. Being underprepared could leave you with sour memories of what's supposed to be a great time.
Nick Higginson, CEO of Phoenix Health & Safety has provided his some safety tips that will help you enjoy the weekend, from staying hydrated to avoiding dancing injuries and sticking with pals.
According to Nick, one key piece of advice that fashion fans may not want to hear is to wear comfortable shoes that are built for the outdoors. Your feet can take a hit due to all the walking and dancing, so it’s vital you look after them to prevent injury.
He stressed: “While it’s fun to put on colourful and lively outfits, wearing unsupportive shoes like sandals or flip-flops can easily lead to sprained ankles or stepping on something sharp, which could result in the rest of your weekend being a lot less enjoyable.
“Make sure you are wearing comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement, along with closed-toe shoes with good traction and support that can help prevent slips, trips and falls on uneven ground.”
Here's what else you should know if you're heading to Glasgow Green this weekend.
