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.'

'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.

Ozzy Osbourne fans gather in Birmingham to honour star who was ‘like family'
A cortege, along with the Osbourne family, is expected to stop at the Black Sabbath bench, where thousands of tributes, balloons and flowers have been left. The Black Sabbath frontman, who played a farewell gig in the city earlier this month, died at the age of 76 last Tuesday. One Osbourne fan called Goose told the PA news agency that they discovered heavy metal as a teenager. 'That's when I found, like millions of people around the world, that there was music that was for us, something that understood us,' they said. 'We knew that there was somebody out there that felt the way that we did and it was a constant presence. 'Ozzy helped give that to the world. He was a family member. He felt like a family member to so many people and he touched so many people's lives.' Evie Mayo, from Wolverhampton, said the heavy metal star had inspired her and everyone in Birmingham as she waited by the Black Sabbath Bridge for his cortege to arrive. She told PA: 'I think he was so influential, he was such an inspirational person. I think he really impacted everyone here, especially in Birmingham as well. 'Now that he's not here any more, you can feel the impact of it. He inspired a lot of people and he was a great person.' She added: 'He inspired me by… I love his music, absolutely love his music. I'm learning guitar so that I can learn some of his songs.' The hearse carrying Osbourne will make its way down Broad Street to the Black Sabbath Bridge from around 1pm on Wednesday. Fans have left heartfelt messages and floral tributes around the city, including at the Black Sabbath mural on Navigation Street, to honour the heavy metal star who was born in the Aston area of Birmingham. Members of the public have also signed a book of condolence, opened by Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, which is currently holding an exhibition titled Ozzy Osbourne (1948-2025): Working Class Hero. While organising the procession, Birmingham City Council collaborated with the Osbourne family, who funded all the associated costs. The Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Zafar Iqbal, said: 'Ozzy was more than a music legend, he was a son of Birmingham. 'Having recently been awarded the freedom of the city and following his celebrated appearance at the Back To The Beginning concert at Villa Park earlier this month, it was important to the city that we support a fitting, dignified tribute ahead of a private family funeral. 'We know how much this moment will mean to his fans. We're proud to host it here with his loving family in the place where it all began, and we are grateful that they have generously offered to pay to enable this to happen and support the city in giving him the farewell he deserves.' Broad Street will be closed to through traffic from 7am and buses and trams will be diverted during this time before the road re-opens when the event finishes. Osbourne and his Black Sabbath bandmates – Terence 'Geezer' Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward – were recently given the freedom of the city of Birmingham, which recognises people's exceptional service to the city. The group, which formed in 1968, is widely credited with defining and popularising the sound of heavy metal. Osbourne, who also had a successful solo career, found a new legion of fans when he appeared in the noughties reality TV series The Osbournes, starring alongside his wife Sharon and two youngest children, Kelly and Jack. The music star, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019, performed his last gig on July 5 in a concert that also saw performances from the likes of Anthrax, Metallica and Guns N' Roses.

‘What is going on with England?' Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper victim of £7,000 tool theft as fans share their fury
The powerful tool was nabbed on Tuesday night TOOLED UP 'What is going on with England?' Clarkson's Farm star Kaleb Cooper victim of £7,000 tool theft as fans share their fury Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CLARKSON'S Farm star Kaleb Cooper was the victim of soaring tool theft after robbers nicked his £7,000 farm tool. The farmer turned TV hero, 27, told fans his pricey post knocker, used for hammering in fences, had been stolen from Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, on Tuesday night.

Cooper fumed on Instagram: 'My post knocker was stolen last night. 'As well as the John Deere tractor. 'Can we please make this as hot as possible! 'What is going on with England at the moment!' Home & Country Fencing, the company whose tractor was also stolen, said on social media: 'Unfortunately, we have had one of our tractors and post knockers stolen overnight. 'There has been a silver 4 x 4 burnt out just down the road which is possibly related.' Kaleb, who joined Sun columnist Jeremy, 65, as his farm hand on the Amazon Prime smash hit, is thought to have loaned his post knocker to a fencing company which was robbed. The powerful tool uses a massive hydraulic hammer to drive fence posts into hard surfaces to keep them safe and stable. Clarkson had bought the ProtechP200S and branded it one of his 'maddest' bits of kit on his Diddly Squat Farm, in Chadlington, Oxfordshire. Jeremy Clarkson left fuming and slams the 'fun police' as his very pricey new advert is BANNED from Last year, he wrote of the device's 240kg hammer: 'Until these hydraulic post-knockers came along you had to use a manual one, nicknamed a 'man killer'. 'There's nothing that wears you out more than manually knocking in a fencepost, particularly around here where the ground is 90 per cent stone. 'So the hydraulic machine is a very good invention, although it's also a scary-looking thing. 'It could be used in Gangs of Chipping Norton. This really would break you in half. 'But we got all the fences done — not terribly well, but we did a pretty good job.' Farm thefts have rocketed in the last decade, with many rural businesses bringing in anti-robbery measures. Gangs of organised thugs on quad bikes have also spent years targeting farms with little or no security measures. Rural crime on farms, including machinery and livestock theft, costs the UK economy at least £50million a year. NFU Mutual, the insurance company used by many farmers, reported the total cost of vehicle and GPS theft amounted to more than £7million in 2024 alone.

Donald Trump opens new golf course at Aberdeenshire resort
The US president teed off at the New Course in Menie in front of a crowd including golfers, the Scottish First Minister and the Scottish Labour leader. Trump also made reference to late James Bond actor Sir Sean Connery's reported support for his golf resort – even attempting to recreate the actor's voice. Just before hitting the first ball at the New Course, the US president told those gathered on a grandstand: 'We started with a beautiful piece of land, but we made it much more beautiful. 'The area has really welcomed us. If you remember at the beginning there wasn't quite a welcome, but it wasn't bad. 'But with time they liked us more and more, now they love us and we love them.' Trump added: 'I look forward to playing it today. 'We'll play it very quickly and then I go back to DC and we put out fires all over the world.' At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the president thanked his son Eric for his role in creating the new 18-hole course, adding: 'This has been an unbelievable development. 'The land, they said it couldn't get zoned, it was an impossibility. 'And Sean Connery said, 'Let the bloody bloke build his golf course'. 'Once he said that everything came into line. (First Minister) John (Swinney) and I were talking about that last night.' Construction of the new course in Menie began in 2023, with Trump and his son Eric breaking ground on the project. Trump International Scotland claims the two courses will be the 'greatest 36 holes in golf'. Critics say the Trump developments in Scotland have not delivered as many jobs as promised and work at the Menie site has caused environmental damage. Members of the media watched the opening ceremony from a grandstand, with music played beforehand including Roxanne, Thriller, and Surfin' USA, plus music by the Script and Elvis. The president has already played several rounds of golf during his Scottish trip, teeing off at his other resort in Turnberry, South Ayrshire, on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
