Following a soggy start to the summer holidays, Scots can enjoy a week of warm and dry weather.
Thousands of music fans are set to descend on Glasgow Green on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Punters will see huge names such as 50 Cent, The Script, Snow Patrol and Gracie Abrams take to the stage.
And they will need to remember to lather on the suncream as the weekend is set to be a scorcher.
On Friday, temperatures will hit 26C, before Saturday sees highs of a sizzling 28C.
It will drop down to 26C again on the final day on Sunday - where it will be partly cloudy at night.
It's a far cry from the weather at last year's event when revellers had to deal with wind.
The city will be hotter than the Canary Islands hotspot of Tenerife which will see 22C all weekend.
Edinburgh is also set to see highs of 28C on Saturday, with temperatures of 23C in Aberdeen.
The Met Office long range forecast from July 11 to July 20 states: "Many parts of the UK are expected to be part way through a period of high temperatures and humidity at the start of this period.
Grumpy Wimbledon fans left with sticky fingers as record-breaking weather sees ice creams melt before getting to court
"The duration, geographical extent and intensity of the heat are all rather uncertain at present, but there is the potential for some very hot weather to be realised, especially across some inland southern and eastern areas.
"With this also comes the possibility of thunderstorms, in part because of the high temperatures, but also in association with any frontal systems moving in from the west, which would ultimately usher in cooler and fresher conditions.
"Towards the latter part of the period, northwestern areas stand a greater chance of experiencing rather more changeable conditions, with drier and occasionally hotter spells more likely further southeast."
The Met Office definition of a 'heatwave' is when the mercury breaks 25C for three days in succession.
It comes as fans have been dealt a major blow ahead of the festival.
Strike action by Glasgow subway workers will escalate this month when workers walk out for an additional three days - during TRNSMT.
Unite the union announced that staff will walk out on July 11, 12 and 13.

Belly dancer influencer arrested for ‘using seduction techniques' and ‘exposing sensitive areas' in viral online vids
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BELLY dancer influencer has been arrested for "using seduction techniques" and "exposing sensitive areas" in her viral online videos. Online sensation Linda Martino, originally from Italy, was arrested for "immortality" in strict Egypt two weeks ago - and is to remain in prison for another fortnight. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 A belly dancer influencer has been arrested for 'using seduction techniques' Credit: Instagram 5 Online sensation Linda Martino, originally from Italy, was arrested for 'immortality' in strict Egypt Credit: Instagram 5 Linda has over two million followers on Instagram Credit: Instagram Linda - who has over two million followers on Instagram - moved to the North African country a few years ago and has built a successful career in belly dancing. Videos of her performing in popular clubs to various Egyptian hit songs have garnered millions of views across various social media platforms. But an investigation was reportedly triggered by one of her most shared videos, where Linda performs in a cabaret in a traditional belly dancing costume. The Cairo prosecutor's office accuses the young woman of having "used seduction techniques and provocative dances to incite vice". According to authorities' report, in some videos Linda "deliberately wore provocative clothing and performed dance movements with sexual allusions" They say she therefore disrespected "public decency" and the "values of family and society". Investigators also argued the artist "appeared in indecent clothing, deliberately exposing sensitive areas of her body, in clear violation of social values". She denies all the charges against her and claims she practices her profession in compliance with the law. The dancer said after being arrested: "I have the permits to practice my activity and all the videos circulating on social media are normal. "It is a permitted dance performance and does not contain anything that violates or goes against public morals." Irish TD Paul Murphy detained in Egypt and passport confiscated after bus stopped amid March to Gaza She added that the content she records is "only for entertainment purposes". Whilst belly dancing isn't prohibited in Egypt, videos on social media have to comply with the country's values. Egypt has increased its cruel crackdowns on artists and influences accused of offending public morals. Under Abdel Fattah Al Sisi's government, at least five belly dancers have been horrifically jailed on charges similar to those given to Linda. The Pharaoh nation sucks in a staggering 18 million tourists each year, and the industry props up around 10 per cent of the whole economy. But beyond the plush resorts of the popular Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada - Egypt is covering up its dark underbelly. The country's brutal police force deals in bribes and locks people up on bogus charges, including Brit holidaymakers. Egypt's picture-postcard image is being tested, with a former British ambassador to the country recently branding it a "police state". 5 Videos of her performing in popular clubs to various Egyptian hit songs have garnered millions of views Credit: Instagram
