Festival-goers faced temperatures of up to 30C at Glasgow Green, made all the hotter by dancing and jumping. But despite the high temperatures, which are set to continue into Sunday, Sigrid gave TRNSMT a thumbs up. "It was really fun. It was incredibly hot. "Honestly, I gotta admit, I'm not feeling very well. "I'm okay, but I'm not used to the heat. But it was great. The crowd, was really, really lovely. "I was very impressed by how they braved the heat. This is probably one of the hottest shows we've ever done." The Strangers singer added: "It was really tough. This is one of the few shows where I've not been moving that much. "It felt a bit like I should have given more but I just wasn't able to. But it was really really fun and it was really nice to see Glasgow again." The pop star spoke as The Kooks played their set on the main stage in the background. Music video for Sigrid's hit song Don't Kill My Vibe She said the band was fundamental to her learning music from a young age. "That was my whole childhood, or my whole youth" she said as the indie band played Sofa Song. "Seaside, I remember I covered that song. "And She Moves In Her Own Way is one of the first songs I learned on guitar." She added: "The Kooks were so integral to me learning instruments." She said TRNSMT was one of her favourite festivals, adding that it was "amazing" and getting "better and better" every year. She described Scottish crowds as "amazing, and very loud, rowdy". "I feel like in Scotland people are rooting for me," she said. "Today, I honestly was wondering am I gonna faint soon. "If it's not me surely someone in the audience must faint. Earlier today, I just felt they were rooting for everyone to do well." The Norwegian artist said she went to a farm near Glasgow before the festival to try some Scottish foods. The singer said she had tried haggis before in Scotland, which she described as "weird". She had also tried Buckfast which she said was "intense". She said: "I just got handed Buckfast once when we were playing Usher Hall. It was quite nice."

Sigrid asked security for this request during TRNSMT set
During her brilliant performance on the main stage, the Norwegian singer asked a nearby steward to spray her with water from a hose. "I'm so hot!" She exclaimed - and with all the dancing she was doing on stage, it is no wonder. (Image: Images by Gordon Terris, Newsquest) Donning a TRNSMT 2025 t-shirt, the singer never stopped moving about. Making use of the stage's runway and jumping around during her tunes, the star had a huge smile on her face from start to finish. When watching Sigrid, it is clear that she absolutely loves what she does. Playing huge hits like Don't Kill My Vibe, Sucker Punch and High Five, she also played some new songs like Jellyfish - which came out yesterday. Speaking on the new music, she revealed: "I released a single yesterday which was my first in ages." She continued: "I've been in the studio a lot over the last year." (Image: Images by Gordon Terris, Newsquest) (Image: Images by Gordon Terris, Newsquest) Her vocals were incredibly from start to finish - and she used her voice to share her love for Glasgow and TRNSMT too. After Don't Feel Like Crying, the singer said: "It's great to be back in Scotland. It means the world that you came to see us. "We love playing TRNSMT it's so good to be back here. We played the King Tut's stage and now the main stage." (Image: Images by Gordon Terris, Newsquest) As she finished off with her huge hit, Strangers, Sigrid's set was a huge ray of sunshine to an already sweltering Saturday.

Riffing on anxiety, death and Elon Musk, this comic takes no prisoners
Nish Kumar: Nish, Don't Kill My Vibe ★★★★ Factory Theatre, April 22. Until April 24. Reviewed by DANIEL HERBORN Midway through his Sydney Comedy Festival show, British comic Nish Kumar outlines the topics he's about to cover: anxiety, death and rage. No wonder someone recently told him he should try more relatable material, like riffing on the contents of his fridge. He'd already rattled through a litany of injustice and nonsense, from billionaire biohacker Bryan Johnson – who injects himself with his teenage son's blood in a bid to live forever – to his deep frustration at being told he should be 'pleased about the representation' of having a fellow British Indian, conservative Rishi Sunak, in power. The 39-year-old Kumar seems so energised by white-hot rage that he barely pauses for breath. The breakneck style makes for an urgent and wide-ranging excoriation of powerful individuals demonising minorities for their own gain. Crucially, though, Kumar doesn't settle for making right-on points but draws consistent belly laughs with his furious monologues, aided by vividly grotesque descriptions of his foes – from Elon Musk to his transphobic comedy peers – and his knack for unexpected but spot-on analogies. In the second half of the hour, he turns his focus inwards, giving a potentially one- note show some much-needed light and shade. 'I'm like this all the time,' he says of his exasperated state, reflecting on how exhausting being constantly outraged is and how it both drives and results from his anxiety. Loading
