Music fans young and old gather in the sun for day two of TRNSMT at Glasgow Green

Friday’s first day of TRNSMT had some big names on the bill and the added excitement of the build up to the Scotland match. Fairly apocalyptic rain during the afternoon and early evening made for a more muted atmosphere than in previous years, before things picked up for Wolf Alice and then Richard Ashcroft closing out the main stage. By today’s opening, the sunshine had appeared and the festival was taking on a more familiar pattern.

A rite of passage for young music fans and an act of nostalgia for more seasoned gig goers, there was a multi-generational feel to the sing-along reception for The Snuts and The Fratellis who were among the strong Scottish lineup on the main stage.

Brighter conditions brought a different energy to the festival site with crowds moving between stages and making good use of the selection of food vans and bars on site. The Hangout, a more relaxed stage, was in demand this afternoon, particularly around a secret set by Twin Atlantic. Comedienne Karen Dunbar popped up to play a DJ set in the VIP area.

Opening the Main Stage were Falkirk folk-punks Brògeal, whose ascent through the Scottish festival circuit has been one of the more talked-about local success stories of the past year. Later, The Last Dinner Party continued their rapid rise from breakthrough act to major festival draw.

All the while, there was a celebratory atmosphere as younger fans danced at the Boogie Bus stage and enjoyed the fairground rides. Despite Scotland’s defeat to Morocco last night there were plenty of saltires and Scotland tops among the crowd.

Things work up to a crescendo tonight with Sonny Fodera and then Kasabian on the Main Stage; Clementine Douglas and Loyle Carner closing out King Tut’s with Radio Free Alice headlining the BBC Introducing Stage.

Lewis Capaldi headlines the final day of the festival tomorrow, with other highlights including CMAT, Two Door Cinema Club and Amy Macdonald.
