Gracie Abrams and Snow Patrol to play Trnsmt's last day as heatwave 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.

'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.'

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.

BGT choirmaster works with Year 6 on leavers' song
Year 6 pupils prepared for their end-of-year assembly with the support of a professional vocal coach. Children at Hackleton Primary School in Northampton had been working with Gareth Fuller, a choir director known for his appearance on Britain's Got Talent and involvement in Northants Sings Out. The pupils will perform a rendition of Bruno Mars' Count on Me at their leavers' service next week. Marley, one of the Year 6 students, said: "I'm finding it very enjoyable and very fun. I've never done anything like this. I've never even had a proper microphone in my hand." The leavers' song had become a tradition at Hackleton Primary, with pupils selecting a track that reflected their shared memories and friendships. Teachers said this year's song captured the spirit of support and togetherness as the Year 6 cohort prepared to move on to secondary school. Jo Roberts, deputy headteacher and Year 6 teacher, said: "It works really well. The message is about how they can still count on each other, even though they'll be going their separate ways. "The children have really enjoyed working with Gareth; it's been a special experience." The rehearsals, held at Fit Dog Studios in Gayton, Northamptonshire, offered pupils the chance to step out of the classroom and into a professional recording space – many for the first time. Gareth Fuller said: "[The children are] really, really good. It's so nice for them to experience something like this before heading into the big world of secondary school." Pupil Amelie added: "I'm quite confident now – Gareth has taught us new ways to sing. I think it will be pretty amazing once we get on that stage." The leavers' performance is set to take place next week. Follow Northamptonshire news on BBC Sounds, Facebook, Instagram and X.

Lorraine Kelly to front brand new travel programme on rival channel
Beloved presenter Lorraine Kelly is to front a brand new travel programme on ITV rival Channel 4. This comes after complaints and wild speculation from some fans that she barely hosts Lorraine. Very little is known about the new travel series at the moment, but it has been suggested that Channel 4 is "delighted" to have signed her. Discussing the new Lorraine Kelly series, a source told The Sun: "Channel 4 were delighted to have Lorraine on board. "It was exciting for Lorraine to do something different and be on location again. "Despite the apparent slight in the ITV daytime shake-up, Lorraine's loyal fanbase isn't to be underestimated and they will follow her wherever she goes. "She's survived in this business a long time, and she's a master at rolling with the punches." According to TV Zone, this comes after ITV confirmed a new studio home for popular daytime shows like This Morning, Loose Women and Lorraine. It was announced that these would be joining ITN's headquarters and sharing a studio with a new-look ITV News. Changes to scheduling were also confirmed, with GMB being extended by 30 minutes, running from 6am to 9:30am daily. In the 2026 Daytime schedule, Lorraine will also run from 9:30am to 10am, on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year. Discussing the changes, Kevin Lygo, Managing Director of ITV's Media and Entertainment Division, said: 'Daytime is a really important part of what we do, and these scheduling and production changes will enable us to continue to deliver a schedule providing viewers with the news, debate and discussion they love from the presenters they know and trust as well generating savings which will allow us to reinvest across the programme budget in other genres... 'These changes also allow us to consolidate our news operations and expand our national, international and regional news output and to build upon our proud history of trusted journalism at a time when our viewers need accurate, unbiased news coverage more than ever.' After receiving criticism from fans after hosting just 59.7% of the episodes of her popular morning show, she took to social media to explain why. She shared: 'Initially, it was for my mum, who has been ill. 'And it sort of brings you into line with everyone else because if you look at This Morning, everybody else does four days. 'Where is Lorraine?' comes to an end after ITV's Lorraine Kelly breaks silence Emmerdale's John Middleton joins rival soap to play 'most evil character ever' Everything you can expect from the new 22 Kids and Counting specials this month 'And as I'm getting older, I want to do other things, more writing, all of that. Mate, I've been doing this for 40 years, working my a*** off.' She added: 'Maybe it just started off as a wee joke, but it's the way that everyone piles on. 'It starts off as a wee tiny thing, and it gets bigger and bigger. I find it really sad.'
