RISING star Luke La Volpe has become the second act of the day to pull out of TRNSMT festival due to a Covid issue. 

The 25-year-old confirmed he is having to isolate and will no longer be able to play his show on Sunday. 

It follows news of The Snuts cancelling today's appearance after a band member tested positive for the virus.

In a statement on his social media, the Bathgate singer, a close friend of Lewis Capaldi's, said: "This isn't easy but I've got to give you the absolutely gutting news that I'm having to isolate and won't be able to play TRNSMT on Sunday.

"I've dreamt of playing a gig like this since I was a little boy and over the past 18 months I've visualised every second of my set."

Luke, who appeared this week on popular podcast Open Goal, added: "To everyone who was coming to see me and the boys, you'll never know how much it means to me.

"So you have one job to do for me at TRNSMT. Sing as loud as you can, scream until you're hoarse and bounce until your legs hurt.

"Have a great weekend and look after yourselves." 

Around 150,000 people are expected to descend on Glasgow Green from now until Sunday as TRNSMT returns for the first time in two years.
