TEMPERATURES soared above 20C as around 50,000 music fans enjoyed the second day of Scotland’s biggest music festival.
Catfish and the Bottlemen headlined last night at TRNSMT on Glasgow Green.
Bastille took to the main stage beforehand, playing songs from their new album Doom Days and Happier, their collaboration with Marshmello.
Speaking to reporters ahead of the set, drummer Chris Wood said: “We’ve been coming here for years now and we’ve never had a bad gig here.
“Everyone’s just showed us so much love and it’s just like the vibe here is just amazing.”
Guitarist Will Farquarson joked he hoped "the Scottish crowd are ready for our downbeat moody songs" including some from new album Doom Days.
He added: "It'll be nice because there's two or three tracks we've never played in Scotland before.
"It's interesting when you do, slightly slower more chilled songs that no-one's ever heard it's a bit of a test.
The mercury hit 21C (69.8F) on yesterday with temperatures forecast to reach highs of 23C (73.4F) today.
Richard Ashcroft also performed on the main stage with emphatic renditions of A Song For The Lovers and Music Is Power.
He then shifted into slower crowd-pleasers from The Verve including The Drugs Don’t Work and
Bittersweet Symphony. TRNSMT kicked off last Friday with performances from acts including Mabel, Years And Years, Gerry Cinnamon and headliner Stormzy.
There was uncertainty over the rapper’s appearance after his flight was delayed for two hours, but he arrived in time to perform after being given a police escort through the city.
During his set he covered Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi, who is due to appear at the festival today before George Ezra brings the festival to a close.
Snow Patrol and Jess Glynne were in the original line-up but were replaced by Capaldi and Emeli Sande after pulling out in the weeks before the festival.
The Scottish singer also performed Joy on stage with the band at Glastonbury amid an ongoing spat with Noel Gallagher after comments made by the former Oasis man.

We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
