But the trio of music lovers have learned they turn heads at TRNSMT for their quirky outfit choices.
The lads rocked up to Glasgow Green in their baffling choice of festival outfit, dressed as PICKLES!
In 2024, they appeared dressed as bananas and decided to keep the tradition going, but this year they opted to don the look of the crunchy foodstuff.
And they were dressed as the briny toppings while Glasgow is belted with a scorching 32C heat that sent music lovers diving for shade.
Edinburgh Uni student Calum, 19, admitted their outfit choice may have 'lacked foresight' given the insanely warm weather but the lads insisted their TRNSMT tradition will go on.
He said: 'But we did it last year dressed as bananas and it just went down from there.
'So we just kind of made it a thing, like a bit of Halloween fun.'
Their get-ups have already been getting a good reaction from other revellers, who have been stopping them to say how much they love their baffling look.
But although most people are ditching layers in Glasgow's warmest taps aff weather of the year, Aidan insists their foodie look will last.
The data student, 19, was donning last year's banana costume and vowed to keep it on all day.

He added: 'Yeah I think it should be alright for the rest of the day, it should be good.'
