The weather is set to calm down on the last day of the festival on Sunday.
TRNSMT kicked off on Friday with Pulp, Sam Fender and 1975 at the helm over the weekend.
Britpop topped the bill on opening night, after acts including George Ezra, Niall Horan, Paul Heaton and The View.
Horan told the crowd during his set that he felt like he was at a “homecoming party” and that he had never seen a homecoming “more prepared for it.”
“This is something very special,” he said. “One of the best gigs you can ever do is in this town.”
