Exclusive to over 18s, The Hangout area is a chill-out zone with Bongo's Bingo, high-energy ceilidhs, Drag-aoke and banging DJ sets, pub quizzes, buskers, and more and hints that 'you might just stumble across a secret set from one of your favourite artists' at TRNSMT. Revellers have been basking in the sunshine and sounds as the summer heatwave reaches fever pitch. Scotland's biggest ever music festival has coincided with soaring temperatures at Glasgow Green and across most of Scotland. The wall-to-wall sunshine has seen some music fans struggling to cope in the heat but they turned out in their thousands to give a raft of top acts including headliners Fontaines D.C, The Kooks and Inhaler all ready to receive the warmest of welcomes. Sophie MacGrain, 22, from Falkirk, media journalism graduate, said: 'We've been loads of times. I've been coming since I was 16, so quite a few years on the trot. I'm looking forward to seeing Inhaler. Tomorrow, I'll be looking to see Gracie Abrams. It's so hot. The water stations have helped a lot and we are trying to stay in the shade as much as possible. It makes it when it is a nice sunny day.' Saturday's main stage will come to a close with headliners Biffy Clyro before a full package of music entertainment brings the festival to a close.

The story of the smallest stage at TRNSMT with 'secret sets'
The festival has announced the return of The Hangout - a fan-favourite stage described as the 'home of secret sets'. This over-18s space is back for its second year, and is set to host acoustic artists, live podcasts, comedy, and entertainment.

The band entertained guests with a selection of their most beloved hits — a moment that has since become one of the most memorable in the festival's history. This year's line-up has revealed another round of eclectic entertainment, with schedule gaps hinting at more surprise appearances still to be announced during the festival weekend. Highlights for 2025 include Bongo's Bingo parties, Drag-aoke with Miss Lola Fierce, and a live recording of the Who Agrees? podcast with Paul Black and Kendra McPherson.

Geoff Ellis, festival director of TRNSMT, said: "The Hangout became a fan favourite last year, with an unforgettable festival moment from Travis - now one of my personal top moments of TRNSMT's history. "We want to keep making incredible memories for fans and unique spaces like The Hangout with Bongo's Bingos, Drag-eoke and even more entertainment are really special." Tickets for TRNSMT can be purchased online via Ticketmaster.
