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.

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.'

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.'

Gracie, 25, who supported Taylor Swift on her record-breaking Eras tour, has emerged as a star in her own right. Advertisement And Jade, 32, showed her fan favourite credentials too — despite a wardrobe malfunction that left her exposed. Abrams, who is dating Gladiator 2 star Paul Mescal, 29, also expressed her love for the city. Her movie director dad JJ was spotted filming next film Ghostwriter in the city last month. And she told fans: 'Glasgow it's so nice to see you. I've missed you so much. I can't believe you're all here. This is so crazy. We love being in your city so much. Advertisement 'All of these songs are love letters to you. It's such a gift to spend the most gorgeous day of all time in your city.'

'I know we've just got going but if you don't mind I'm going to take myself stage right as my t**s are literally out.' Advertisement Singer Myles Smith, 27, took to the main stage in a kilt and Scotland footie top from 1998.

KOOKS HOOKED ON CITY THE Kooks reckon a Glasgow crowd is worlds apart from anywhere else on the planet. Lead singer Luke Pritchard, 40, hailed fans after they rocked the main stage on Saturday. And they revealed they'll be back soon for a special Scottish date. He said: 'It was really good to be back. 'We always feel like we're home when we play Glasgow. You can't shut the fans up.' The Brighton band have just released seventh album Never/Know. Luke added: 'For the summer, we're basically away every weekend. 'We are part of the festival woodwork now. 'It feels like we've found our sweet spot. It's like the summer of rock and roll. Rock and roll's back!' But it was headliners Snow Patrol who brought the three brilliant days to a euphoric close with anthems such as Chasing Cars and Signal Fire. Now in their 30th year, and having lived in Glasgow for a decade, they viewed TRNSMT as a perfect homecoming. Advertisement And fans who revelled in the final-day fun went away buzzing. Gracie Abrams fan Emma Kooij, 22, from The Netherlands, flew over especially to see the superstar — the 30th time she has saw her perform. NATHAN LANDS GIG AT HYDRO NATHAN Evans sprang a surprise after getting the main stage jumping. The singer, who made his name with viral sea shanties, announced his biggest show to date — a gig at Glasgow's Hydro arena on October 25. Speaking after performing alongside The Saint Phnx Band, he said: 'To be able to announce I'm playing the Hydro in front of the fans who've helped make it happen, is the stuff dreams are made of. 'Everything these days is about social media, so there's something special about telling folk about it live during a show.' Nathan's announcement follows the release of Arabella — his first new single since the success of his sophomore album 1994. Emma said: 'She's amazing, I absolutely love her music and I couldn't pass up the chance to see her. She never disappoints'. Mag, 47, travelled from Osaka, Japan, to see former The View frontman Kyle Falconer — the third time she's come over for TRNSMT. She said: 'I'm a huge fan of Scottish music. Advertisement 'This is the festival that really brings it to life. 'I never feel alone when I'm here because people are so friendly. I love coming over, and I'll be back next year.' ELLIS TIPS ACTS TO STEP UP TRNSMT boss Geoff Ellis tipped several acts to graduate to the main stage in future years after being wowed by their performances. The DF Concerts & Events CEO was happy with the eighth instalment of the Glasgow Green festival and is already looking ahead to 2026. He said: 'We're talking to potential headliners more than a year in advance. 'They won't necessarily be locked in yet but we're talking to people. 'It's always based on what the fans want to see.' The former T in the Park supremo pointed out Lucia and the Best Boys and Wet Leg as acts that he felt levelled up this year. Bride-to-be Louise McGregor, 31, from Perth, was the centre of attention after getting dressed up in wedding clobber. She said: 'About three months ago we planned to come for the day. My fiancé is at home building wardrobes so we had rather different days.' Advertisement Amy Paterson, 21, from Glasgow, had a ball with friend Jack Spooner, 24. She said: 'We came to see Nathan Evans and have been trying to get tickets for years. I was buzzing to see Tom Walker as well.' Sharon Fraser, 46, from Speyside, with hubby Callum, 56, said: 'Chasing Cars was our wedding song so we loved seeing Snow Patrol.' Fans now eagerly await next year's line-up — with dates for TRNSMT 2026 to be released in weeks. Police confirmed six arrests on day two, bringing the total to ten.
