Crowds belted out tracks as Sam Fender headlined the main stage on Saturday
The second night of Scotland's biggest festival closed on a high despite heavy rain and the threat of thunderstorms.
Acts including Brooke Combe and Maisie Peters kicked off Saturday's line-up before Kasabian and Sam Fender took to the main stage.
Up to 50,000 people are expected at Glasgow Green for each day of TRNSMT.
Pulp closed the show on Friday - their first performance in Scotland for over 10 years.
Royal Blood and Becky Hill will headline on Sunday, with The 1975 scheduled to close the festival.
ScotRail has put on extra train services to cope with demand, including more late-night trains running to Inverclyde, Ayr, Edinburgh, and East Kilbride.

Newcastle rocker Sam Fender closed the festival's second night with pyrotechnics, fireworks and confetti as he remarked on the journey he had taken from the festival's beginning.
He said: "We've played every stage in this festival, from a little stage over there to the main stage.
"It's just really surreal."

Festival organisers had urged fans to "prepare for all weather" on Saturday with the majority of Scotland covered by a yellow Met Office alert for thunderstorms.
Glasgow Green turned to mud following heavy showers, though it did little to dampen spirits.
Conditions are expected to improve on Sunday but more rain has been forecast.
It came after Tiree Music Festival was cancelled on Thursday, just a day before it was due to begin, because of gale force winds.

Britpop legends Pulp brought the first night of the festival to a colourful close on Friday, following acts including George Ezra, Niall Horan, the Beautiful South's Paul Heaton and The View.
The band, fronted by Jarvis Cocker, surprised fans at the end of 2022 by announcing a run of shows this summer at festivals and outdoor gigs across the UK.
Cocker told crowds: "We are Pulp, you are Glasgow. We are going to spend some time together this evening.
"This is the furthest north we've ever been."
