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.

Nathan Evans announces his biggest live show to date from TRNSMT main stage
Nathan Evans announced his biggest live show yet from the main stage at TRNSMT. The former Postman shot to fame in 2021 when he was discovered posting songs on TikTok. Since then he has toured the world. And as Nathan took to the main stage with Saint Phnx at TRNSMT on Sunday he revealed he will also play the OVO Hydro. Nathan, 30, said: 'It's completely flipped upside down from being a postman sitting in my bedroom making TikToks and then, that blowing up and getting to play stages all over the world. 'To look back at the start of 2021. What a whirlwind it's been. It's a dream come true. 'Music is now my everyday life and that is my full focus and it is absolutely incredible. If the 2020 me could see me now it's night and day.' His biggest ever show will take place at the Glasgow OVO Hydro on October 25. Pre-sale tickets for Nathan's show are available from July 16 at 10am with a general sale from July 18. He revealed the news on stage in front of a massive crowd at TRNSMT Festival. 'To be able to announce that I'm playing the Hydro on stage at TRNSMT, in front of the fans who've helped make it happen, is the stuff that dreams are made of,' he said. 'Everything these days is about social media so there's something special about telling folk about it live during a show, especially in the beautiful sunshine.' The huge news follows the release of rollicking folk-pop banger Arabella, Nathan's first new single since the success of his sophomore album 1994, and the first to formalise his alchemic relationship with Saint Phnx – aka Alan and Stevie Jukes - as a collaborative single. It's the logical conclusion of a songwriting partnership which hit a vein of gold in songs like Heather on the Hill, Highland Girl and Flowers In The Water, melding Nathan's love of folk and trad music with a rhythmic and dynamic pop sensibility which took the album to Number 1 in the Scottish charts.

'We wrote 'Told You So', my first single after Wellerman together and we're more like brothers now. Two years ago I asked them to come on tour with me and it's just grown arms and legs from there. So now we're officially Nathan Evans and the Saint Phnx band and I get to travel the world making music with my best mates. You can't ask for better than that.'

Bob Geldof says Live Aid still resonates today 40 years on from benefit concerts
Bob Geldof has said Live Aid still resonates today, 40 years on from the two-venue benefit concert which brought together a stellar cast of celebrity musicians. The campaigner and rock star, 73, said its resonance is why there are documentaries, radio programmes, and a musical dedicated to that day on July 13 1985, 'when something weird happened'. Ahead of a special gala performance of musical Just For One Day: The Live Aid Musical, Geldof told the PA news agency: 'I was at Oasis last night in Manchester, who were staggeringly brilliant. 'So I'm buzzing, and I'm still amazed that this old guy can be so thrilled by a great rock and roll band. 'But imagine 40 years ago, seeing all of the greatest rock and roll bands, one after the other, being exceptional for free, no contracts with anyone, they had to pay their own plane fares. 'For some reason, the performances were 'other', just like the day itself', he added. 'They rose way above and everyone hung around to watch each other.' He continued: 'I've never seen it (Live Aid) because I can't watch or listen to myself. I can't stand all the stupid things I say. 'But I saw the end of Live Aid two weeks ago, which was the Christmas song. 'And here are the greatest creative talents of the rock era, and it's like the worst ever nativity play in school, like the kids haven't learned the lines, the teachers are going nuts, and they all hung around. They wouldn't leave.' He continued: 'The sheer improbable exhilaration of it… that is what resonates… It's a time when Britain did something profound with their American brothers. 'And I think it resonates particularly now, because in the sort of age of the death of kindness, which (Donald) Trump and (JD) Vance and (Elon) Musk have ushered in.' Geldof said he think it resonates 'more' than when it was 'possible for the boys and girls with guitars to corral the political and economic structures of the world', also encouraging 'the entire electorate and population' to give over money that would help the situation. 'I think that's why you've got musicals. It's why you've got documentaries, it's why you've got whole stations dedicated to that day 40 years ago when something weird happened', he said. Co-organiser Midge Ure told PA: 'We were in the middle of this. We couldn't see just how big this thing was. 'It's like being in the middle of a cyclone or a hurricane or whatever. 'It's all going on around you. There's a weird stillness because you're dealing with the nuts and bolts of the daily process.' The Scottish singer, 71, added: 'It seems to have grown over the last 40 years. It's now a historic, social moment.' Set up by Geldof and Ure, the movement started with the release of the charity single Do They Know It's Christmas? on December 1984 which featured a number of celebrities and soared to number one in the UK singles chart. Then, in July, a concert was held in the US and in London, the latter of which was attended by the late Diana, Princess of Wales and the King, then Prince of Wales, who watched on as the likes of Sir Paul McCartney, David Bowie, Spandau Ballet and Queen performed. An estimated audience of more than 1.5 billion watched the broadcast and concerts inspired by the initiative were held in other countries across the globe. The US equivalent was held at the John F Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia and saw performances from Crosby, Stills, Nash And Young, The Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, Sir Mick Jagger and Tina Turner. A musical about Live Aid, which includes songs from Sir Elton John, Bowie and Queen, premiered at The Old Vic theatre in January 2024 and is currently showing at the West End's Shaftesbury Theatre.
