Years & Years have been forced to cancel their TRNSMT show due to illness.
The pop band were scheduled to play the festival’s Main Stage at 3.25pm this afternoon, but had to pull out as frontman Olly Alexander recovers from an infection.
Doctors advised the 31-year-old star not to perform as he continues his recovery.
In a statement, Olly apologised to disappointed fans and expressed his hopes to return to the TRNSMT stage sometime in the future.
He said: “I’m so sorry for this but I won’t be performing tomorrow at TRNSMT, I have an infection and my doctor has told me I’m not well enough to do the show.
“I’m really sorry to anybody hoping to see us, I hate to do this and I’m absolutely gutted not to be there.
“I hope everybody has a great time at the festival and hopefully we can come back another time.”
Festival organisers have said that they will provide an update on Saturday’s schedule soon as a result of their cancellation.
Tens of thousands of revellers descended on Glasgow Green for the first day of the three-day music festival yesterday.
Fans were treated to a star-studded lineup on Friday, which included the likes of Chic and Nile Rodgers, Tom Grennan and Sam Fender.
Paolo Nutini closed the Main Stage last night, as the Scots star made a triumphant return to form following an eight year hiatus.
The Paisley-born singer was also in buoyant spirits during the performance, as his new album ‘Last Night in the Bittersweet’ shot to the number one slot just as he prepared to take to the stage.
This was the 35-year-old’s first new album since previously topping the charts with 2009’s Sunny Side Up and again in 2014 with Caustic Love.
Dylan will reopen the Main Stage at 12.20pm today, with headliners The Strokes closing Saturday’s festivities from 9.20pm.
