The Tiny Changes charity was established in Scott’s memory, with their mission statement being to “[change] how young people in Scotland are affected by mental health issues. We want to see a Scotland where young people are listened to when they talk about their mental health,” to prevent a repetition of anything like the suffering endured by its founder’s older sibling.

Reflecting on the first year of the charity’s operation, drummer Grant has been quoted in a report by NME as saying, “For the family, it’s been a strain … but it’s been really exciting for the charity to become what it is and what it will be.” Specifically highlighting his brother’s experiences, Grant adds, “We’re very mindful of the reason for the charity existing, but we also don’t want Scott’s death to be too big a part of the charity. We wanted him, his character, his personality and the life that he led to be the drive it, without too much focus on the end of his life.”

Serving as a constant tribute to the band’s guiding light is a tweet pinned at the head of the official Frightened Rabbit Twitter page, affirming that the 36-year-old had left a “legacy of hope, kindness and colour that will forever be remembered and shared.” That legacy is certainly a fixture of the band’s own celebrated history – Scott’s battle with anxiety during childhood reportedly inspired the nickname “Frightened Rabbit,” which of course became the band’s namesake during their decade-and-a-half tenure from 2003 to 2018.

The festival was due to take place from 10th-12th July 2020, with performers such as Sam Fender, Lewis Capaldi, and Rita Ora taking to the stage. Up until recently, TRSNMT was still set to go ahead despite coronavirus concerns. However, on 24th April, the organisers announced that the Scottish lock-down would require the festival to be called off.

The decision was made upon advice from the Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, which stated that when restrictions begin to be lifted, there will be continued social distancing for a least a few months. This means that festivals gathering large numbers of people will not be safe for the foreseeable future.

But, all is not lost, for TRNSMT has already confirmed details of next year’s festival. Bosses wrote to ticket holders to explain “We know that tens of thousands of you bought tickets for TRNSMT 2020 and were looking forward to seeing this year’s line up, so we’ve moved quickly to secure the acts confirmed for 2020, for 2021’s festival!”

Along with the statement was a video showing the acts, which are almost exactly the same as the original lineup for 2020. Fans can also save their purchased tickets for 2021, and there are still some tickets available on the official website. The festival will take place from 9th-11th July 2021.

The weekend will begin on Friday with headline act The Courteneers, who recently put out their sixth studio album ‘More. Again. Forever’. Also on the main stage will be Ian Brown, Sam Fender, Blossoms, and more, while fans can watch breakthrough artists Joy Crookes and The Ninth Wave on the other two stages. On the second day, Liam Gallagher will headline, supported by Foals, Keane, and AJ Tracy. Finally, the weekend will come to an end with performances from chart sensation Lewis Capaldi, Snow Patrol and Rita Ora. Check out the full lineup below.

Sadly, although the lineup contains most of the artists who were booked to perform on the stage this year, some changes have had to be made. The most notable difference is that British rapper Aitch will no longer appear, which has saddened many fans. Luckily, festival-goers will still be able to watch many of other favourite artists.

TRNSMT began in 2017 after in was announced that T in the Park would not be staged that year. 120,000 people attended over three days, and the festival was named ‘Best New Festival’ at the UK Festival Awards.

Sturgeon spoke at First Minister’s Questions yesterday, saying that her government is advising that the ban should be put in place from next week. She explained that while scientists have advised that cancelling large gatherings will not have a “significant impact” on containing the virus, this action would help free up emergency services and was therefore required.

This is due to the fact that “mass gatherings require to be policed“, and they need to have “emergency ambulance cover” as well as “voluntary health services,” as Sturgeon said. The First Minister went on to say that “at a time when we need to be reducing the pressures on these frontline workers – in order to free them up to focus on the significant challenge that lies ahead – I do think it’s inappropriate that we continue as normal.”

A reminder that from start of next week, to help with efforts against #coronavirus and reduce pressure on our emergency services @scotgov is also advising cancellation of events with more than 500 people. Further guidance on practical application will be issued over weekend. https://t.co/0bttksgC7r

Artists who have gigs planned in Scotland this year include The Killers, Post Malone and Tom Jones with Sam Fender, Lewis Capaldi, and Blossoms all meant to perform in March. If the ban is set, none of these shows will go ahead, causing loss of profit for artists, venues, and crew, along with the loss of any pre-paid costs such as travel.
