In pictures: Thousands gather on second day of TRNSMT music festival

Glasgow’s TRNSMT festival is in full swing, with dozens of artists still set to perform over the weekend.

The sunshine and blue skies that greeted festival-goers on the opening day of Scotland’s biggest music festival on Friday turned to cloudy skies and drizzle on the second day.

Around 50,000 people attended the TRNSMT festival on Friday, headlined by Liam Gallagher.

Music fans soaked up the sunshine on Glasgow Green and caught the likes of Garbage, Sugababes and even a secret set from Scottish rockers Travis.

Artists such as Calvin Harris, Rick Astley and Gerry Cinnamon will perform in the coming days.

During her performance on Saturday, Natasha Bedingfield asked fans to sing a Lewis Capaldi song with her to share on TikTok.

She told the crowd: “I opened for Lewis Capaldi at the O2 about two years ago, maybe we could sing a bit of his song and he could write one for me.”

She held up her phone to record the crowd as she sang Lewis Capaldi’s Someone You Loved, and everyone joined in.

Bedingfield, 42, also dedicated a song to her older brother Daniel, who rose to fame in 2001, three years before her.

She got fans dancing as she sang her 2004 UK number one hit These Words, along with covers of Coldplay’s The Scientist and Prince’s Purple Rain.

Bedingfield closed the set with his song Unwritten.

Fans weren’t the only ones delighted by the clear skies and energy from the crowd on Friday.

Performing with their original line-up, Keisha Buchanan, Mutya Buena and Siobhan Donaghy were so in demand at the Somerset festival that organisers had to close the stage.

Keisha said the reunited band were “immensely grateful” to receive such a positive reaction in Glasgow.

A visibly angry Shirley Manson was heard repeatedly asking – using a string of expletives – who the man was after noticing him apparently setting up equipment during the band’s closing number in Push It.

The singer, dressed in a plaid outfit, then exclaimed loudly into the microphone before thanking the group’s fans, who tuned in for a set that included hits such as Stupid Girl and I’m Only Happy When It Rains.
