The promoter behind TRNSMT festival says it will continue in 2018.

Speaking ahead of the first edition of the event on Glasgow Green, Geoff Ellis - who also organises Scotland's biggest festival T in the Park - said: "We fully intend to be back with TRNSMT next year."

However, he wasn't as certain about T in the Park returning after a year off.

"We've not got any plans at the moment that have come to fruition... we'll tell people in due course."

In November last year it was announced T in the Park would take a break, two years after moving to Strathallan from Balado.

Promoters said "continued restrictions" had had a "negative impact" on festival-goers.

Being a city-based festival with no camping, Geoff said TRNSMT is "a completely different event" to T in the Park which is a more rural event with the option to camp throughout the weekend.

However, he insisted it "isn't a replacement for T in the Park".

"There's still a market for a camping event in Scotland as well. The events can coexist, absolutely.

"We've had our issues over the last few years with the site move, pipelines and ospreys at T in The Park.

"It's [TRNSMT] a completely different kettle of fish."

Despite TRNSMT being in its first year, Geoff and his team have managed to secure some pretty big names.

Kasabian, Biffy Clyro and The 1975 will play across the three days but the organiser said Friday headliners Radiohead were "a key act this year".

"We're the Scottish promoters of a lot of the acts so we've worked with them on their way up, that obviously helps.

"But once you've secured Radiohead and you can say, 'We're doing a festival, Radiohead are headlining one of the nights, do you want to headline the next one?' or, 'Do you want to be on the same bill as Radiohead?' you tend to get a yes."

That said, the line-up has been criticised because of a lack of women on the bill with London Grammar and Belle & Sebastian being the only acts with female members on the main stage.

It follows Ellie Goulding recently commenting on the lack of women being booked at festivals.

"It's a fair observation but it's not been deliberate," said Geoff.

"There are other female artists who we approached, who either weren't available or couldn't make the timings work.

"Would I prefer to have a more diverse line-up? Yes.

"But is there anybody I'd take off the bill? No.

"You can only book what's available to you. But I think it's fair criticism, it's something we'll be more proactive about next year.

"It's not been for the want of trying."

Meanwhile, armed police will patrol near the festival this weekend after recent attacks in London and Manchester.

But police say there's no specific intelligence suggesting a threat to the event.
