Complementing the music, the BBC Introducing area will feature a photography gallery wall, curated by Glasgow-based photographer Euan Robertson.
This gallery will highlight iconic moments and emerging talent from TRNSMT's history, paying tribute to the artists and audiences who have helped shape the city's sound.
Mr Robertson said: "As well as playing host to some of the world's most exciting musical artists, TRNSMT has also brought together a team of some of the country's best music photographers to document the festival.
"There has been an immense amount of stunning visuals created at TRNSMT over the years, so I was delighted to curate some of my favourite work by this talented group to exhibit during the Glasgow 850 celebrations."
For the anniversary, an interactive art installation will also be unveiled.
Commissioned especially for the event, it is the creation of Glasgow-based visual artist and designer, Nicola Beedie.
This installation, inspired by the city's grid street layout, evolving skyline, and architectural heritage, consists of sustainable plinths that festivalgoers can move through and interact with, becoming part of the artwork.
The monochrome plinths, representing Glasgow's diversity of musical styles, will be decorated by festivalgoers, artists, staff, and crew with paint pens over the weekend, creating a living, evolving artwork.
Ms Beedie said: "When I think about Glasgow, I think about the music, the creativity and the communities, so it was really important for me to create something that could combine all of those aspects.
"It didn't feel right to create a piece for the 850th anniversary of the city without involving the people."

Rangers help La Liga side with special Ibrox photoshoot
CA Osasuna have released footage and still images of a recent photoshoot which took place at the Scottish Premiership giants' stadium. To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Spanish outfit's first-ever game in a European competition, which was against Rangers in the UEFA Cup back in 1985, Osasuna ventured to Glasgow to release their new kit. Manufactured by Macron, the all-red kit sports a retro look, with a polo collar. It is described as 'vibrant red, a powerful symbol of the Spanish autonomous community'. A video, widely shared on the club's social media sites, shows a man and a woman arriving in Glasgow from Spain, walking through Glasgow Central Station, while arriving at Ibrox and the home dressing room. The match that inspired the kit took place at Ibrox in September 1985. Rangers won the first leg 1-0, thanks to a goal by Craig Paterson. The likes of Ally McCoist and Davie Cooper were also in the side. Jock Wallace was the manager at the time. Osasuna had the last laugh, though, as they won the return leg 2-0 in Pamplona, emerging victorious on aggregate to knock Rangers out.
