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.'

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.

‘Most amazing experience you'll ever have': Fans react as TRNSMT comes to an end
The band received a warm welcome from thousands of fans at TRNSMT who braved a weekend of temperatures of up to 30C. Lead singer Gary Lightbody told the audience that Glasgow was a 'big part of our life' and a 'big part of our story'. He said playing in the city 'always feels like coming home' as he played the band's hits, some of which were written in Scotland, and some newer tunes. Gracie Abrams, the second last act, shared her love for Glasgow during her set, which saw thousands singing along to some of her viral hits from the past few years. 'My name is Gracie Abrams and I've missed you so much,' she told a hyped crowd, some of whom had waited all weekend to see her. 'We love being in your city so much. All of these songs are love letters with you. 'Glasgow I love you so much.' The singer said the response from the fans had given her 'chills'. Her song I Love You, Sorry got some of the biggest responses of the entire festival. Abrams said her festival slot in Glasgow was her last one in Europe 'for a long time', adding: 'I wanna say thank you for everything. 'Getting to come and tour is one of the best experiences of my life.' Eleanora, 17, and her two friends came to Sunday's show to see Abrams. She described TRNSMT as 'the most amazing experience you'll ever have', while her friend Lauren Wilkie, 17, said it was 'a pure blast'. Niamh, 17, said: 'Fontaines DC have been the best so far, I have to say. 'Just the general atmosphere, it's so fun seeing people dressed up. 'Fontaines were actually insane. Our group was just jumping around getting pushed about but it was so good, we loved it.' Kira McCaffery, 20, said the atmosphere this weekend was 'absolutely electric', adding: 'I have loved it this year. The sun has been splitting the sky.' Her friend, Mia Moohan, 22, said she was 'buzzing' to see Abrams. She praised this year's line-up, saying there was 'more going on' for festival-goers. Ms McCaffery said there was 'something for everyone'. Friends Matthew Turner, 17, Mitchell Mure, 18, and Liam, 16, were less impressed with the line-up. Asked if they were sad the festival was coming to an end, they all said: 'Not really, no.' 'My legs are sore,' Liam said. Mitchell added: 'It was so much better last year.' Asked why, he pointed to the stage and said: 'Look at it.' Sunday's done right ⚡️#RockstarEnergyxTRNSMT @rockstarenergy — TRNSMT Festival (@TRNSMTfest) July 13, 2025 He added: 'Last year we went for Calvin Harris and now it's Gracie Abrams. It's not as good as last year.' Amber Hannah, 19, said attending TRNSMT this year was her first ever festival. She said the festival was '10 out of 10' and said 50 Cent was the best act, echoing the opinion of lots of fans the PA news agency spoke to. 'It was unreal,' she said. 'Just phenomenal. It was better than I thought it would have been. The atmosphere was good. I'm here today to see Snow Patrol. I'm so excited. 'The vibe has been good, the atmosphere has been good and it's cooler today so more enjoyable.'
