Glasgow’s biggest music bash, TRNSMT 2025, turned up the heat in more ways than one this weekend — with tens of thousands packing into Glasgow Green for three sun-soaked days of tunes, tinnies, and sizzling temperatures.
Sun, Sweat and Selfies on Glasgow Green
Fans turned out in force despite the blistering heatwave that saw Glasgow sizzle at 29 degrees on Saturday — Scotland’s hottest day of the year so far.
You’d be forgiven for thinking you’d landed in Ibiza, not the Clyde-side, with cowboy boots, bucket hats and bikinis the unofficial festival dress code.
One line: It’s all part of the TRNSMT vibe.
Crowds snapped selfies with pals, queued for overpriced water, and danced away under the blazing sun as they waited for the main acts to hit the stage.
Headliners Bring the Noise
This year’s line-up had something for everyone. Friday saw 50 Cent blast out hits for a buzzing crowd.
Saturday was all about the homegrown heroes, Biffy Clyro, with frontman Simon Neil belting out anthems in a sweat-drenched vest, tattoos on full show.
One-liner: Sunday closed with Snow Patrol, wrapping up the weekend with a more mellow vibe.
It’s the usual TRNSMT magic — a bit chaotic, a bit messy, always memorable.
Surviving the Heatwave
Scotland isn’t built for 29 degrees. Fans queued at water stations and ice cream vans did a roaring trade.
Event organisers handed out free suncream at multiple spots. Medics were on standby, dealing with sunburn and a few who pushed their day-drinking stamina a bit too far.
One sentence: Thankfully, no major incidents reported — just a lot of red shoulders and sore heads.
For many, the blistering sun just added to the festival’s good-time buzz, turning Glasgow Green into Scotland’s own scorched patch of party turf.
