Thousands of fans will head to the city next weekend to see big names like 50 Cent, Snow Patrol and Biffy Clyro.
It's a far cry from the weather at last year's event when revellers had to deal with wind
The BBC Weather Service is predicting day-long rays and highs of 25C (77F) for Glasgow Green on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The Met Office definition of a 'heatwave' is when the mercury breaks 25C for three days in succession.
Met Office forecaster Jonathan Vautrey says the settled conditions are a result of the 'Azores High' where warm air arrives here from the South Atlantic via France.
He said: "It's turning drier in the south west because we have high pressure beginning to build its way in from the Azores.
'While there is the possibility of fronts slipping into Scotland and Northern Ireland over the next few days, this high looks as if it will build in more widely across the UK, midweek onwards.
'That will lead to fewer showers, more sunny spells and also climbing temperatures.'
American rapper 50 Cent is the headliner on Friday night and is expected to roll out hits such s In Da Club and Candy Shope.
While the following night, Kilmarnock's own Biffy Clyro will top the bill while Ireland's Snow Patrol will close things the following night.

Other promising highlights include Gracie Abrams and Fontaines D.C.
Teams at the Glasgow Green site will spend the next few days finalising the plans with fencing already covering the park and access barriers in place.
Drivers are being urged to avoid the area with several road closures in place while a major police safety operation will also get underway.
