Gracie Abrams and Snow Patrol to play TRNSMT's last day as hot weather continues
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.

BBC staff who had authority to cut Bob Vylan livestream ‘were at Glastonbury'
It comes after the frontman of the punk rap duo, Bob Vylan, led crowds in chants of 'death, death to the IDF (Israeli Military Force)' during their set at the Somerset music festival. Police have since launched an investigation into the group with the BBC issuing an apology for the livestream and promising to no longer broadcast live acts they deem 'high risk'. Bob Vylan performing on the West Holts Stage, during the Glastonbury Festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset (Ben Birchall/PA) In a letter responding to questions sent by Dame Caroline Dinenage MP, chairwoman of the Culture Media and Sport Committee, the director-general of the BBC, Tim Davie said: 'Cutting the livestream was an option open to those on the ground on the day. 'There were 550 personnel working for the BBC at Glastonbury. Of these 328 were working for BBC Studios (camera crew, rigging, technical and production roles), 35 providing coverage for BBC News, and 187 other BBC public service, working across a wide range of roles, including technical crew, producers, presenters, engineers, runners, commissioners and compliance staff.' He added: 'There were failures in our coverage which led to offensive content being broadcast live. I deeply regret that such deplorable behaviour appeared on the BBC and want to apologise to our viewers and listeners and in particular the Jewish community. 'In considering what to learn from this, my immediate priority was to take swift actions, as detailed above, to mitigate against anything similar happening in the future. 'At the same time we are taking actions to ensure there is proper accountability for those found to be responsible for the failings in the live broadcast; and we are urgently reviewing our guidelines to see if any further measures are needed.' Bob Vylan crowd surfs during his performance on the West Holts Stage, during the Glastonbury Festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset (Yui Mok/PA) Since their Glastonbury set, Bob Vylan, made up of frontman Bobby Vylan, whose real name is reportedly Pascal Robinson-Foster, and drummer Bobbie Vylan, have reportedly been dropped by their agency, United Talent Agency (UTA), which appears to have removed the group from their website, and have also been pulled from a number of concerts – including their US tour after having their visas revoked. The group announced on Monday, in a post on Instagram, that they were unable to join rock band, Gogol Bordello, on their European Tour. The statement said: 'Due to logistical complications, we have decided not to join our friends Gogol Bordello on their upcoming European Tour. However, we will be heading to Europe in the coming months for both festivals and headline shows.' It comes after the group performed a sold-out gig in London last week where Bobby Vylan said: 'We are a loving band, we love you lot for being here with us. We love the Palestinian people. 'Their strength, their resilience, their ability to keep on going in the face of it all is a beautiful and inspiring thing. 'So as hard as this week may have been for us, it has been nothing in comparison to what the Palestinian people are going through right now.'
