‘Most amazing experience you'll ever have': Fans react as TRNSMT comes to an end

The band received a warm welcome from thousands of fans at TRNSMT who braved a weekend of temperatures of up to 30C.
Lead singer Gary Lightbody told the audience that Glasgow was a 'big part of our life' and a 'big part of our story'.
He said playing in the city 'always feels like coming home' as he played the band's hits, some of which were written in Scotland, and some newer tunes.
Gracie Abrams, the second last act, shared her love for Glasgow during her set, which saw thousands singing along to some of her viral hits from the past few years.
'My name is Gracie Abrams and I've missed you so much,' she told a hyped crowd, some of whom had waited all weekend to see her.
'We love being in your city so much. All of these songs are love letters with you.
'Glasgow I love you so much.'
The singer said the response from the fans had given her 'chills'.
Her song I Love You, Sorry got some of the biggest responses of the entire festival.
Abrams said her festival slot in Glasgow was her last one in Europe 'for a long time', adding: 'I wanna say thank you for everything.
'Getting to come and tour is one of the best experiences of my life.'
Eleanora, 17, and her two friends came to Sunday's show to see Abrams.
She described TRNSMT as 'the most amazing experience you'll ever have', while her friend Lauren Wilkie, 17, said it was 'a pure blast'.
Niamh, 17, said: 'Fontaines DC have been the best so far, I have to say.
'Just the general atmosphere, it's so fun seeing people dressed up.
'Fontaines were actually insane. Our group was just jumping around getting pushed about but it was so good, we loved it.'
Kira McCaffery, 20, said the atmosphere this weekend was 'absolutely electric', adding: 'I have loved it this year. The sun has been splitting the sky.'
Her friend, Mia Moohan, 22, said she was 'buzzing' to see Abrams.
She praised this year's line-up, saying there was 'more going on' for festival-goers.
Ms McCaffery said there was 'something for everyone'.
Friends Matthew Turner, 17, Mitchell Mure, 18, and Liam, 16, were less impressed with the line-up.
Asked if they were sad the festival was coming to an end, they all said: 'Not really, no.'
'My legs are sore,' Liam said.
Mitchell added: 'It was so much better last year.'
Asked why, he pointed to the stage and said: 'Look at it.'

He added: 'Last year we went for Calvin Harris and now it's Gracie Abrams. It's not as good as last year.'
Amber Hannah, 19, said attending TRNSMT this year was her first ever festival.
She said the festival was '10 out of 10' and said 50 Cent was the best act, echoing the opinion of lots of fans the PA news agency spoke to.
'It was unreal,' she said.
'Just phenomenal. It was better than I thought it would have been. The atmosphere was good. I'm here today to see Snow Patrol. I'm so excited.
'The vibe has been good, the atmosphere has been good and it's cooler today so more enjoyable.'

Scarves: how to style 2025's hottest summer trend

The humble scarf's origins, of course, stretch way back in time: most commonly associated with the 1940s and 50s, they've currently having a resurgence with a vengeance. Four years after they hit the catwalk in a big way back in 2021, Gracie Abrams wore one for her Glastonbury set (as did many people in the crowd), as well as off-stage later. The Summer I Turned Pretty star Lola Tung has been styling hers with a white top and jeans. While Hailey Bieber has been wearing one around her waist (as well as over the top of her baseball cap).

Uddingston hairdresser styles stars at TRNSMT

Rainbow Room International creative director Diana Carson joined the backstage salon team ensuring the stars looked their best as they took to the stage at Glasgow Green A leading Uddingston hairdresser once again styled the stars as they took to the stage at the TRNSMT festival on Glasgow Green. ‌ Diana Carson, creative director of Rainbow Room International on Main Street, teamed up with fellow senior staff plus rising-star stylists from across the company to run their backstage pop-up salon in the artists' village. ‌ They created a range of cuts and styles fit for the stage on Scotland's hottest weekend of the year, welcoming performers, managers and crews at the busy three-day event with a big-name line-up including 50 Cent, Biffy Clyro, Snow Patrol, Fontaines DC and Amy Macdonald. ‌ Diana said: 'I love being part of TRNSMT and soaking up all that festival energy – it's such an inspiring experience. 'This year, there was a real throwback vibe with Oasis-inspired looks like textured crops and soft mod shapes. Bringing those trends back to the salon and adapting them into something our clients in Uddingston can wear every day is always so exciting.' She teamed up with fellow Rainbow Room creative directors from Glasgow, Ayr and Lanarkshire neighbour Jacqueline Curran of the East Kilbride salon for the festival, as well as emerging young talents to run the popular and trend-setting festival salon. Described as 'a long-standing backstage fixture since the festival's inception', it is located beside the performers' dressing rooms and was 'a constant hub of energy throughout the weekend' as stars and their teams queued up for creative styles. The Rainbow Room team said: 'The team delivered expert cuts and styling to withstand the summer heat and humid temperatures, while setting the tone for festival hair trends right at the peak of the season' – including more Oasis-inspired looks and 'disconnected fringes and hair full of lived-in, natural movement. 'Now those cutting-edge festival trends are making their way back to Rainbow Room International Uddingston so clients can book in and capture a little TRNSMT magic for themselves.' * Don't miss the latest headlines from around Lanarkshire.

Paul Mescal is joined by his father watching the All-Ireland hurling final - as he jokes about being given free tickets to the sporting event

Paul Mescal was joined by his excitable father watching the All-Ireland hurling final on Saturday. The Gladiators actor, 29, who is from Maynooth, was going back to his Irish roots at the sporting event where he was sat with dad Paul Snr. The All-Ireland hurling final saw Cork take on Tipperary, with Paul expressing how much the sport means for the Irish as he spoke with the BBC from the crowds. He also joked that he was feeling very lucky to have been given free tickets for the game yet again this year. Singer Tom Grennan, 30, was also at the game with his father as they sat behind Paul and his dad. Paul said from the stands: 'The all Ireland final day is one of the most special days in the calendar and to be here with dad - we're so lucky to get more free tickets to another final!' Mescal 🤩 Grennan 🤩 Blackmore 🤩 The BBC box is once again back with some special guests for the All-Ireland hurling final @Tom_Grennan | @rachaelblackmor | @BBCSport #bbcgaa #gaa — BBC SPORT NI (@BBCSPORTNI) July 20, 2025 His father then added: 'Its phenomenal to be here, this is the pinnacle of Irish sport and you have to be here to fully get the atmosphere.' Hurling is a fast-paced, Gaelic outdoor team sport played with a stick and ball. Paul's outing comes after he recently finally went Instagram official with his singer girlfriend Gracie Abrams - after they attended Glastonbury Festival together. The pair reportedly celebrated their first anniversary of dating in June. Since last month, the Pacific Palisades native has been photographed numerous times wearing a curious band on her left-ring finger. 'The speculation has been kind of mad for the last x amount of years,' Paul lamented to GQ last October. 'I'm not comfortable inviting any access into that part of my life. How I am in my private life is so precious to me because I get very little of it, and it might be public interest, but it's not public-obligated information.' Gracie wasn't just a Glastonbury patron as she made her official debut June 27 on the Other Stage during the annual music festival, which takes place at Worthy Farm in Pilton. As Abrams performed her new single Out of Nowhere, her famous filmmaking father J.J. Abrams proudly watched from the wings, and she was also supported there by her brothers Auggie and Henry as well as Mescal's younger sister Nell. At the start of July the Secret of Us songstress performed her new single Crazy Girl at BST Hyde Park in London and after singing she sported the same exact Boston Red Sox cap that the Oscar-nominated actor had worn at Glastonbury. Gracie previously dated Grammy-winning hitmaker Blake Slatkin from 2017-2022, while Paul ended his two-year relationship with three-time Grammy winner Phoebe Bridgers in 2022. The star - who signed with Interscope Records in 2019 at age 20 - got a big career boost in 2022 opening for Olivia Rodrigo's Sour Tour followed by Taylor Swift's Eras Tour between 2023–2024. Mescal will next executive produce and portray Lionel in Oliver Hermanus' post-WWI gay romance The History of Sound - hitting US theaters September 12 - alongside Josh O'Connor and Chris Cooper.
