Gracie Abrams and Snow Patrol to play TRNSMT's last day as hot weather continues
The sweltering heat is set to continue with TRNSMT gig-goers facing temperatures of around 26C on the last day.
Those attending Glasgow Green will hear from Gracie Abrams, Jade, Myles Smith and Tom Walker, among others.
Indie artist Jake Bugg told the PA news agency on Saturday that Scottish crowds 'have always been great', adding: 'I've always enjoyed every gig I've played here (Glasgow).'
Dylan McNish, 22, attended the festival with his dad, Duncan, 49, from Corby, to see Fontaines DC, the penultimate act on Saturday.
Speaking at their first festival together, Dylan said: 'I'm not coping with the heat so well.
'But the atmosphere has been great. We are seeing Inhaler. We are buzzing for Underworld. Thumbs up so far.'
Fontaines DC played to an energetic crowd in the evening, with some of the biggest cheers being 'free Palestine' chants.
Biffy Clyro headlined the night before tens of thousands of fans left Glasgow Green for home.
Aimie Race, 47, who took her daughter to her first festival, said she 'could not have asked for better weather'.
'It's been really nice here. Everyone is really friendly. Everyone has desperately been looking out for shady spots but we are enjoying the sunshine.'
Beth Ballantyne, 21, said she passed out on Friday due to the heat, but pledged to persevere, describing TRMSMT as '10 out of 10'.
Daniel Clare, an 18-year-old who travelled from Dublin with his two friends, said he was disappointed that Kneecap was removed from the festival.
He urged people to 'drink water and have a good time' amid the sweltering heat.
Norm McDonald, 16, said he was 'cooking' and 'scared' of getting burned, although that did not stop him from going shirtless throughout the entire festival.
He described 50 Cent's set as 'nine out 10' and said he would have given it a 10 if he didn't lose his friends for the rapper's set.
His friend Carson Smith, also 16, was more impressed, giving the Friday a 'banging 10 out of 10'.
'The sun's out,' he said, 'That's all that matters.'

Ashleigh Willmot, 29, travelled from Essex to see Biffy Clyro – a band she had never seen before Saturday.
'I was expecting it to be raining, so I'm underprepared, but I'm loving it – it's amazing,' she said.
'Everyone is super chill here. Everyone is doing their own thing – it's great.
'Everyone is happy. It's really good, the buzz.'
Six people have been arrested and charged in connection with various offences in and around the area of Glasgow Green following the opening night of a festival.https://t.co/pPNUDBDyMw pic.twitter.com/FK60Rv0Q6P

Police Scotland said it made six arrests on Friday around Glasgow Green, including a hate crime charge.
Police had a visible presence throughout the festival, and more arrests are expected to be made as it comes to a close.
Scottish singer Amy Macdonald played a secret set on the second day of the festival, although many fans of Wunderhorse were left disappointed after the band dropped out due to illness, with singer Miles Kane replacing them.
Norwegian artist Sigrid also took to the main stage on Saturday, donning a tartan TRNSMT top.
She told the PA news agency it was one of the hottest shows she had ever done, but said it was 'really fun'. However, she admitted to not 'feeling very well' amid the hot afternoon sun during her set.
Those attending Sunday have been urged to seek the shade, wear hats and put on sunscreen as the sunny weather continues.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde also urged music fans to drink plenty of water during the heat.

On This Day: The Heartbreaking Tragedy That Changed John Lennon Forever
On This Day: The Heartbreaking Tragedy That Changed John Lennon Forever originally appeared on Parade. John Lennon was at the start of his music journey when a devastating tragedy struck, leaving a lasting impact on the young man he was and the music legend he would become. The future Beatles founder was profoundly shaped by one person whose influence and sudden loss would alter the course of his life and help define his path to global superstardom. On this day, July 15, 1958, John's mother, JuliaLennon, was struck and killed by an off-duty police officer named Eric Clague. Lennon was just 17 at the time of the tragedy, and his mother was 44. Parade Daily🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 John was born on Oct. 9, 1940, to Julia and Alfred Lennon. He was their only child together. When he was four, the future musician was taken in by his aunt, Mimi Smith, and uncle, George Smith, to provide the young boy with a stable home life. John would live with the couple throughout his childhood and adolescence. Although John resided with Mimi, he maintained a strong and affectionate bond with his mother, Julia. She nurtured his early love of music, buying him his first guitar and teaching him basic chords on the banjo and ukulele. John's childhood friend Nigel Walley shared his memories of the tragedy per The Beatles Bible. He said, "I went to call for John that evening, but his Aunt Mimi told me he was out. Mimi was at the gate with John's mum, who was about to leave." Walley continued, "We stood chatting and John's mum said 'Well, you have the privilege of escorting me to the bus stop!' I said 'That will do me fine. I'll be happy to do that.'" "We walked down Menlove Avenue and I turned off to go up Vale Road, where I lived. I must have been about 15 yards up the road when I heard a car skidding. I turned round to see John's mum going through the air. I rushed over but she had been killed instantly." Julia's death deeply traumatized John, who would later refer to her in the songs "Julia," "Mother," and "My Mummy's Dead." His first son, Julian, with wife Cynthia Lennon, was named for her. "I lost her twice," John later told Playboy. "Once as a 5-year-old when I was moved in with my auntie. And once again when she actually physically died." "That made me more bitter; the chip on my shoulder I had as a youth got really big then. I was just really re-establishing the relationship with her, and she was killed." John Lennon would go on to achieve worldwide fame as a member of The Beatles, alongside Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. In addition to his first son, Julian, he later became a father to Sean Ono Lennon, his only child with wife Yoko Ono. On This Day: The Heartbreaking Tragedy That Changed John Lennon Forever first appeared on Parade on Jul 15, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 15, 2025, where it first appeared.

Tom Holland says ‘Spider-Man 4' will be a ‘breath of fresh air' after Covid forced last movie to be shot on sound stages
Tom Holland is 'over the moon' to soon be slinging webs again as everyone's favorite neighborhood Spider-Man, but he's 'so excited' about the next sequel for a particular reason. In a recent interview for 'Flip Your Wig,' Holland explained the new film – the fourth in the MCU series, titled 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' – will be a return to form for the franchise after the Covid-19 pandemic hampered the filmmaking team's abilities with the last entry, 2021's 'Spider-Man: No Way Home.' 'I think we were really restricted with what we could do in the last movie because of Covid. We shot the entire film on stages,' Holland said. 'Now we're really going to lean into that old school filmmaking and shoot in real locations.' He added that one of those locations will be Glasgow, Scotland, where production will soon be starting. 'We are going to use the streets of Glasgow for this massive set piece that we are putting together,' he teased. Holland also said that 'playing Spider-Man is like hanging out with an old pal,' and that filming the next entry is 'going to feel like making 'Spider-Man 1' (2017's 'Spider-Man: Homecoming') again.' 'It's been such a long time that I've done it that it's going to feel like a breath of fresh air. I think the fans are going to be over the moon with what we're putting together.' While Holland acknowledged that there were some creative challenges in making 'No Way Home,' those certainly did not impact the film's massive box office success – the third film in the franchise ended up grossing $1.9 billion worldwide. That certainly had to do with the fact that the movie welcomed back the actors who portrayed Peter Parker a.k.a. Spider-Man in the previous two franchises, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' is slated for release in summer 2026.

The exciting 'carnival on bikes' that is coming to Manchester this summer
A huge bike ride celebrating unity in the Black community is coming to Manchester. The Black Unity Bike Ride, the UK's carnival on bikes, has announced its expansion to the city. The move comes after a new five-year partnership with London Marathon Events (LME) that will see the event held in two new UK cities – Manchester in 2025 and a third ride will be coming to a major UK city in 2026. Manchester's first ever Black Unity Bike Ride will take place on Sunday 17 August (Marcus Garvey's birthday). It will start and finish in Alexander Park in Moss Side and feature a 12-mile ride through the city. You can sign up to ride here. READ MORE: Take a look inside Tyldesley's new smokehouse bar READ MORE: The seaside towns near Greater Manchester named among 'best in the UK' Founded as a community-led movement in 2020 following the murder of George Floyd in the USA, the Black Unity Bike Ride (BUBR) attracts more than 1,800 participants annually in a ride across London that is suitable for all and celebrates Black joy, empowerment and unity. LME has lent its event organisation expertise to BUBR since 2021, working in partnership to help inspire thousands of people onto the bike. Now a new five-year agreement has strengthened this partnership further and helped BUBR plan to create a national movement by expanding into two new cities. The ride in Manchester will come two weeks after the sixth edition of London's Black Unity Bike Ride, on Saturday 2 August. The 17-mile route will again start in Leyton Sports Ground and finish in Dulwich Park. There will be music throughout, pit stops on route and the BUBR Fest will greet riders at the Finish, with more than 13 food vendors, offering a range of different cuisines, as well as an entertainment and a recovery zone for participants. Entry to BUBR Fest is free. BUBR founder Tokunbo Ajasa-Oluwa, said: 'What began as a bold idea on London's streets has grown into a national movement. We are very excited to bring the event to Manchester, it has been an aspiration for a few years so we can't wait until Sunday 17th August. "BUBR has valued London Marathon Events support since 2021 and we are very proud to extend this relationship with a new five-year commitment. The partnership is a true statement of intent when it comes to community, inclusion and inspiring active lives.' The BUBR welcomes people of all abilities and ages to take part. In 2024, 47% of participants were first-timers, and more than 70% of those ranked themselves as either beginner or intermediate level riders. In addition, 48% of participants were inspired to join a cycling club after riding in 2024, with 77% cycling more as a result. LME's partnership with BUBR will include support from across the business including marketing, communications, logistics, finance, data and operational support. LME's mission is to inspire activity for all with a focus on supporting and providing access to participation for people in underserved communities. At last year's London Black Unity Bike Ride, 71% of participants identified as being a beginner or intermediate cyclist while 41% of riders were female. Hamid Vaghefian, LME's Communities and DEI Director, said: 'We are delighted to have formalised our partnership with the Black Unity Bike Ride. "We have proudly supported this incredible, empowering event since 2021 and seen the impact it has made in getting more people from the Black community cycling and enjoying activity. "It is an exciting prospect to be able to support this movement further and to help bring what really is a carnival on bikes to other cities in the UK, starting with Manchester on Sunday 17 August.'
