Shereen shares her tips
And the Gods must be smiling on organisers as the sun is due to be splitting the skies for the fest.
But hot weather means revellers need to be careful, with exposure to sun and long days of partying not always a good mix.
Thankfully Shereen Cutkelvin, who is fronting BBC Scotland's coverage of the event, has some top tips to get through the musical extravaganza unscathed.
Originally from Lanark, Shereen is a former member of the girl group Neon Jungle and was a semi-finalist on The X Factor.
Last year, she made her debut presenting TRNSMT for BBC Scotland, taking over from Edith Bowman.
She'll be bringing viewers interviews, standout performances and highlights across all three days, featuring global stars and rising talent from the music scene.
She said: "I'm absolutely buzzing to be back hosting BBC Scotland's coverage of the festival – let's go!"
Here are Shereen's five festival survival tips.
KEEP IT CLEAN
She says: "Number one is bringing wipes and hand sanitiser.
"You gotta stay clean in those toilet cabins."

BE PREPARED
While the weather is supposed to be nice, Shereen says Scotland is always unpredictable.
The presenter added: "Number two is bring a poncho because it's Glasgow, it's probably going to rain.
DON'T MISS OUT
TRNSMT is a breeding ground for new talent - and Shereen says it's a good chance to see the big names before they are famous.
She says: "Number three, get to the BBC introducing stage quick because there's going to be some amazing up-and-coming artists you don't want to miss.
HOTTING UP
While she's warning that the rain may appear, you also have to be ready for some high temperatures with the mercury set to hit 28C.
Shereen says: "Number four is take SPF. You gotta stay protected.
"And the sunshine's actually going to be out this weekend so that is a plus."
CASH IS KING
Finally, the star says it's always good to have some real, cash money with you.
She added: "Number five is take out some extra cash and stash it, like in a bum bag or something.
"You gotta stay prepped, stay ready and you never know when you're going to need some cash."
