Thousands of people are in the park today to enjoy sets from Gracie Abrams, Jade, Myles Smith, Tom Walker and Snow Patrol.
But when you're one of Scotland's most popular comedians, you have to take steps to enjoy yourself undisturbed.
In a post on Instagram, Kevin ended up revealing his festival disguise.
He posed with his wife Kerry in the selfie taken on the festival grounds and captioned his post: "A wee day out".
The funnyman is clutching a pint and is donning a green bucket hat and aviator shades.
But his headwear is doing a good job of covering the top of his face.
Paired with the shades, it means festival-goers may have to look twice before recognising him.
Kev's 'festival fit' will also be ideal for the warm weather the country is enduring.
Temperatures are set to hit 26C at TRNSMT today as fans have been urged to take care in the heat.
It is slightly cooler than the scorching 32C experienced by revellers on Saturday.

Medics have urged people out enjoying the festival to make sure they are drinking plenty of water.
TRNSMT staff have also been on hand to get fans what they need to cope with the heat.
Stewards have been handing cups of water to the crowds and also using a mist sprayer to keep them cool.
Others are working in dedicated welfare tents and stations with plenty of sun cream to protect revellers from getting sunburn.
But the heat yesterday wasn't enough to burn out the party.
Fans rocked out to Biffy Clyro's showstopping closing set before belting out an iconic song as they left the park.

Tom Walker: ‘Miracle' I made it through my Trnsmt set
The songwriter had finished his set in Buncrana in the north of the Republic of Ireland at 12am on Sunday and had to make an overnight journey to Glasgow to play at 1.25pm the same day. Mr Walker, who was born in Kilsyth, rose to prominence in 2018 with the hit single 'Leave a Light On' and is also known for his song Just You and I. He played the mainstage of Trnsmt on Sunday afternoon for the first time in his career. He said it was 'really good' but admitted he had a 'crazy time getting here'. He told the PA news agency: 'We played in Buncrana last night. The set was at 10.30 at night, we finished at 12, got on a bus – not a tour bus, a wee mini-bus – drove five hours to Dublin airport from Belfast, got on the 6am flight and came straight here. 'I've not been to bed so I'm feeling the burn right now if I'm honest. 'I'm tired. My voice just about made it through that set which is a miracle.' He applauded his 'packed' Glasgow audience as 'amazing', especially given the 26C weather. The Scot said it was his best time at Trnsmt yet and his first on the main stage. Reflecting eight years on from his breakthrough hit, Mr Walker said: 'To be honest, I never ever thought I'd be able to pay my rent with music. 'Me and my partner bought a house four years ago together and I'm just so grateful. 'I never ever in my life thought I'd be able to sustain a living from music and I've gone far beyond anything I thought was possible. 'I'm just so grateful to everybody who's listened to my music, who has supported me, come to my gigs and bought my albums – thank you very much.'

Kaleb Cooper forced to call 999 after 'reckless' actions of people in field
Farming contractor Kaleb Cooper, who has become a household name since starring in the TV series Clarkson's Farm, made an emergency call yesterday after seeing the lanterns Kaleb Cooper, the breakout star from Jeremy Clarkson 's hit show Clarkson's Farm, issued a fiery warning against the peril of releasing Chinese lanterns amidst the blazing heatwave sweeping the Cotswolds. The farmhand-turned-celebrity took to Instagram on Saturday (July 12) to voice his shock over the sight of lanterns drifting skyward near Chipping Norton. Using an Instagram video captioned "what is going on in the world" as his platform, Kaleb's message, though visually obscure due to darkness, hit home clearly with his earnest appeal. Upping the drama, he declared: "I've just called this in to 999 but someone has felt the need to light two Chinese lanterns in and around the Chipping Norton area. They are currently floating over the area. I'm looking at both of them as we speak right now." Shedding light on the reckless act amid drought-like conditions, he commented: "But what goes through someone's mind when they decide to light two Chinese lanterns in the middle of a heatwave. We've hardly had any rain since March. Jesus, honestly. What's going on with the world." In the comments section of his post, followers chimed in, endorsing his plea for common sense in these tinderbox times. One fan urged: "People need educating mate. Spread the message." Another backed him firmly, saying: "Well said Kaleb, this could quite easily start a wildfire." A third lamented: "Some people really don't have a clue. The farmer's field next to mine is that dry I can literally put my whole hand down the cracks of the soil." Adding fuel to the fire, a fourth remarked: "They should never do this for any celebration. They let some of these off for a wedding near me. They set fire to someone's house and barn when they landed. Plus livestock can ingest them when they land. It's like balloon releases. It's littering, pure and simple. Should be banned." The Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service takes a firm stance on sky lanterns, as shared on their website: "Sky lanterns are a beautiful sight - but the potential damage they can cause is significant." The advice further notes: "They use the heat of a naked flame to float. They're not only a fire hazard but also a danger to livestock, agriculture, camping activities, thatched properties and hazardous material sites." Highlighting the uncontrollable nature of these airborne hazards, the rescue service cautions: "Whilst ignition and launch are mostly in the control of the user, the actual flight path and end destination are not. There's no guarantee the fuel cell will be completely out and cooled when the lantern lands, so any contact with a flammable surface could start a fire." They've been a menace, causing havoc aplenty, the service observes: "There's evidence of them causing fires, wasting police time, being mistaken for distress flares, misleading aircraft and killing livestock."
