But getting there and back for some revellers might prove an issue as ScotRail announced there will be no trains running on a busy line today.
Trains won't be running between West Calder and Holytown all day.
The route has been closed so engineering works can be carried out.
Replacement buses will be running between West Calder and Glasgow Central all day.
But TRNSMT revellers who wanted to use this service have been told to plan their journey in advance.
A warning online read: "Due to engineering works, buses replace trains between Glasgow Central and West Calder on Sunday 13 July.
"Check replacement bus times on our app or website. Journey times may be extended, so allow extra time for travel."
It also followed a warning for passengers to stay safe on the trains during the heatwave.
Temperatures soared to a sizzling 32C at TRNSMT yesterday and sent festival-goers diving for the shade.
Staff were on patrols handing out waters to punters in the crowd as they rocked out to an epic set by Biffy Clyro.

They were even setting up stations for people to get sun cream amid the scorching heat.
The heat was so intense that main stage act Sigrid ended up feeling unwell after her set.

Where will the replacement bus stop?
THE replacement bus from West Calder to Glasgow Central will stop at: Cambuslang

She said: "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."
And the heat is set to continue today, with the mercury to hit 26C.

Kate Middleton's telling comments after Wimbledon ovation captured by lip reader The Princess of Wales, who is in remission from cancer, was given a huge reception and standing ovation on Centre Court at Wimbledon, and an expert lip reader has revealed what she said There was an eruption of applause when Kate Middleton arrived (Image: Karwai Tang, WireImagevia Getty Images ) Upon her arrival at Wimbledon's press box for the women's singles Wimbledon final, Kate Middleton, who in January disclosed her successful battle with cancer, was met with an overwhelming standing ovation from the rapturous 15,000-strong Centre Court crowd on the afternoon of July 12. Jeremy Freeman, an expert lip reader, scrutinised the Princess of Wales' surprised reaction and deduced that she appreciatively uttered: "Thanks. Hi." Then, turning to an off-camera acquaintance, she beamed: "Sweet, very nice to hear!" Before the match began, she concluded a handshake with the esteemed former Wimbledon champ Martina Navratilova, aged 68, and exchanged pleasantries with the venerable tennis icon Billie Jean King, now 81, who offered a curtsy in return. When enquired by Billie about her wellbeing, the Princess responded with: "Beautiful." Post-match, after observing Polish Iga Swiatek clinching a resounding victory over American Amanda Anisimova with a striking 6-0, 6-0 scoreline, Kate extended heartfelt encouragement to both participants, reports the Express. The Princess of Wales dazzled in her chic cream ensemble (Image: Getty ) Article continues below According to Jeremy, she reassured Anisimova with comforting words: "You should be so proud, well done, and enjoy yourself." Conversing with champion Swiatek behind the scenes, Kate offered sagacious guidance: "Ensure that you have some downtime." Previously, she had lauded Swiatek's performance by saying: "Wonderful, extraordinary achievement, very well done. Congratulations and enjoy it. Enjoy the celebrations back home." After her historic win at Wimbledon, the first Polish woman champion Swiatek addressed the audience saying: "First of all I want to congratulate Amanda for an amazing two weeks no matter what happened today. "I hope we're going to play many more finals here and at other tournaments." "I didn't even dream [about winning] because it was way too far, I feel like I'm already an experienced player after winning the slams before but I never really expected this one." Article continues below Kate presenting the winning trophy to Iga Swiatek (Image: Getty ) The Duchess of Cambridge, a patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, is a familiar face on Centre Court, having been there regularly since her marriage to Prince William in 2011. Last year, Kate had the honour of presenting the men's singles trophy to Carlos Alcaraz and she may very well present the trophy again this afternoon as Alcaraz faces Jannik Sinner in what promises to be a thrilling final.

The MMA legend's latest social media rant has sent fans into a tizzy JON HIS WAY Jon Jones makes major career decision and puts shock phone call in to Dana White and UFC brass amid Tom Aspinall fallout Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JON JONES has seemingly made yet another major decision about his fighting future, just weeks after retiring from mixed martial arts. The former two-division champion ended fans' hopes of a mega heavyweight title unification bout with Tom Aspinall late last month by hanging up his gloves.

Jones has continued to umm and ahh over the idea of fighting again, although the prospect of facing Aspinall seemingly doesn't get his competitive juices flowing. But the prospect of fighting at the proposed UFC White House card next year to mark America's 250th anniversary has piqued his interest. And not long after learning of the promotion's grand plans, Jones put a call into Dana White and Co.

Tom Aspinall Fires Not So Subtle Dig At Jon Jones After UFC Retirement (1) MMA fans worldwide are hoping that Brit and the new undisputed heavyweight king Aspinall will face off against Jones if he indeed fights at the White House. It would be fitting given that America, of course, got its independence from the United Kingdom. Jones, however, could care little about who he fights at this moment in time. He roared: "I don't care who I fight that night. I found my reason why, that's what I needed. 5 Jon Jones stopped Stipe Miocic with a sensational spinning back kick in his sole defence of the UFC heavyweight title Credit: GETTY "Something more than money." Jones was offered the biggest payday of his Hall-of-Fame career after demanding "F**K YOU MONEY" to unify the interim and undisputed belts against Aspinall. UFC supremo White claims Jones initially accepted the offer on the table before performing a U-turn and deciding to retire. Jones - who was recently charged with leaving the scene of an accident in New Mexico - has denied that notion and insists he told the UFC brass he was done last November.
