What does TRNSMT stand for and where is TRNSMT held?

After the sad news that T in the Park 2017 was cancelled, the same organiser, DF Concerts, announced a new festival. T in the Park, which was then staged in Perthshire, would be replaced by a new event called TRNSMT.

Set in Scotland's biggest city and non-camping, T in the Park's successor was a tad different. Ever since its first festival in 2017, the three-night festival has been held in Glasgow Green, a park in the east end of Glasgow.

There isn't an official explanation for its unique name, but it's widely understood to mean "transmit" - just hold the vowels. The name may be a reference to the transmission of electric signals, as how radio and TV is broadcast.
