Gracie Abrams and Snow Patrol to play TRNSMT's last day as hot weather continues

The sweltering heat is set to continue with TRNSMT gig-goers facing temperatures of around 26C on the last day.
Those attending Glasgow Green will hear from Gracie Abrams, Jade, Myles Smith and Tom Walker, among others.
Indie artist Jake Bugg told the PA news agency on Saturday that Scottish crowds 'have always been great', adding: 'I've always enjoyed every gig I've played here (Glasgow).'
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.'
Six people have been arrested and charged in connection with various offences in and around the area of Glasgow Green following the opening night of a festival.https://t.co/pPNUDBDyMw pic.twitter.com/FK60Rv0Q6P

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.

Meghan Markle 'rubbed salt in Harry's wounds' as she 'failed to help him heal'

A royal expert has claimed that Princess Diana acted as a "stabilising and steadfast presence" for Prince Charles - while Meghan Markle 'rubbed salt in Harry's wounds' Meghan Markle has been slammed for "rubbing salt in the wound" rather than backing her husband Prince Harry like her Royal equivalent the Princess of Wales, according to a Royal expert. ‌ Kate Middleton has been hailed for serving as William's "strength and stay" and assisting him in "healing" his emotional scars, in stark contrast to the Duchess of Sussex, who allegedly has the "opposite effect" on the Duke. ‌ Journalist and Michael Gove's former wife, Sarah Vine, urged the Royal Family to take inspiration from the late Queen's approach by "compartmentalising" feelings to prevent emotions from interfering with their judgement. ‌ She suggested that by following Queen Elizabeth's example, they might eventually succeed in mending the fractured relationships "over time". Vine argued that the Prince of Wales carries just as many emotional scars as Prince Harry and was fiercely protective of his younger brother, whilst simultaneously coping with their mother's death. This made Harry's behaviour towards the Waleses "so painful and hard to forgive." Writing in her Daily Mail column, she stated: "Instead of indulging his pain, feeding off it even, as Harry has done, he seems to have mastered it, channelling it into his royal roles and his family. Then again, he had slightly better luck - or judgment - than his brother, in that he had the good sense to marry the Princess of Wales. "Without her stabilising and steadfast presence, who knows where he might be? As the late Queen said of Prince Philip, Kate has, quite simply, been William's strength and stay," reports the Scottish Daily Express. ‌ She further commented: "Sadly, the Duchess of Sussex seems to have had the opposite effect on Prince Harry. Instead of helping him heal his emotional wounds, she seems to have re-opened them - or even rubbed salt in them, some might say. "Instead of encouraging him to shape his own identity within the Royal Family, she has helped him turn his back on it. Which might have been fine if together they had embarked on something truly life-affirming. But they didn't. ‌ "They've walked away, but they keep looking over their shoulders. They are obsessed with the very thing they supposedly hate, and that's never a good frame of mind to be in. "Every venture the duke and duchess have undertaken since their departure has revolved around their royal status." It comes as a meeting took place just last week between Prince Harry's chief communications officer, Meredith Maines, and King Charles III' s communications secretary, Tobyn Andreae. ‌ Maines could potentially be Harry's 'secret weapon' when it comes to reuniting the Royal Family. She was the one who arranged Prince Harry's BBC interview in May, where he expressed his desire for a reconciliation with the King and Prince William. He confessed his caution of conflict and shared his concerns about Charles' health, admitting he did "not know how much longer [his] father has." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
