Video: Paolo Nutini’s TRNSMT Homecoming Reminds Glasgow Exactly Why They Never Stopped Believing

Paolo Nutini’s 2022 TRNSMT headline set at Glasgow Green was a full-circle moment, arriving one week after the release of his critically acclaimed fourth album ‘Last Night in the Bittersweet’ and eight years after his last record. The setlist moved from the atmospheric opener “Afterneath” through soulful crowd favorites like “Scream (Funk My Life Up)” and “Pencil Full of Lead,” with a raw acoustic stretch mid-show that drew one of the night’s loudest responses. The encore sealed it, closing on a cover of Dougie MacLean’s “Caledonia” before the emotional gut-punch of “Iron Sky.” Backed by a phenomenal live band, Nutini’s raspy vocals carried across the park with the confidence of an artist who never lost a step, and a hometown crowd that had been waiting years to hear it all again.
