Rockstar Energy Presents TRNSMT Festival Awarded Highest Accessibility Honour.
We are proud to announce that Rockstar Energy presents TRNSMT Festival has been awarded the prestigious Platinum status for accessibility by Attitude is Everything, making us the first dedicated music festival to ever receive this esteemed recognition.
This milestone highlights our commitment to creating an inclusive, accessible environment for all music fans. The Platinum award—Attitude is Everything’s highest accolade—acknowledges the comprehensive measures we’ve taken to ensure that everyone can enjoy a safe, barrier-free festival experience.
This year, our DF Concerts Accessibility Team made significant improvements, including expanding the main stage accessible viewing platform by 51% and introducing a ground-level viewing area that increased accessible space by 74%. Additional initiatives included sensory tents and kits for neurodivergent fans, accessible picnic benches, enhanced staff training, lowered counters and accessible lanes at bars, a volunteer running service, and the integration of the Nimbus Access Card for our 2025 festival.
As we celebrate this achievement, we remain dedicated to continually improving accessibility measures, ensuring that all fans can enjoy the magic of live music at Rockstar Energy presents TRNSMT.
Alex Covell, Live Events Access Manager at Attitude is Everything said:
“Achieving the Platinum Award on our Live Events Access Charter is a recognition reserved for organisations that innovate, inspire, and truly connect with disabled audiences, artists, and professionals. TRNSMT Festival has not only met these standards but exceeded them. This year, audience members consistently praised the festival team’s outstanding work, expressing their joy at returning year after year and feeling valued as their feedback was heard and acted upon. The improvements were clear, and their loyalty speaks volumes.
“In addition to their remarkable accessibility initiatives, TRNSMT has also mentored one of our Future Leaders, working diligently throughout the year to enhance access for emerging artists at their other events.
“TRNSMT’s unwavering commitment to growth, inclusivity, and sharing best practices across the sector is commendable. Congratulations to the access team for leading by example and to the entire staff for their dedication to fostering inclusivity. I look forward to witnessing their continued impact on the live events sector as they maintain their leadership and well-deserved recognition through this award."
Some of the fans who used the Accessible facilities at TRNSMT this year said:
“…had a fantastic day but this was mainly down to how well the accessibility facilitates and the people work there were. Without that there is no way we would have enjoyed our time as much…”
“This has been one of the best experiences of accessible access and I feel a lot of the other gigs I have been to need to take a look at what you guys do.”
“I have told so many people about the positive impact this has had on me and my son who wants to come again next year…”
“TRNSMT ensures everybody has the opportunity to enjoy the festivals, with the safe space for additional needs.”
“I am really grateful that my son was able to have this experience.”
