Thousands of music fans are set to flock to Glasgow Green on Saturday for day two of TRNSMT as Britpop icons Pulp brought the curtain down on the festival’s opening day.
Frontman Jarvis Cocker recalled how the band played their first ever Scottish gig at King Tut’s in front of about “30 or 40 people” in 1992, before launching into “Do You Remember the First Time?”.
The band also played much loved hits such as Babies and Sorted for E’s and Whizz.
Closing the set was perhaps the band’s most well-known song Common People, accompanied with pink and orange fireworks.
Cocker said: “I know how you feel, I mean there’s really not such a thing as a common person as you well know, but for argument’s sake, if there is such a thing then we are the common people as well.”
George Ezra, The View and One Direction star Niall Horan also played the main stage on Friday.
Horan told crowds during his set he felt like he was at a “homecoming gig” and that he had never seen a home nation “more up for it”.
“This is something pretty special,” he said.
“One of the best gigs you could ever do is in this city.
“It’s an honour to be here.
“It’s unreal, it’s so great to be back.”
Horan has a close friendship with Lewis Capaldi, who recently announced he was taking a step back from touring, and told the audience he thinks he will return to the stage one day.
“I think we’re on the telly. Our good friend Mr Capaldi will be watching,” he said.
“Let’s give him a shout out. We love you, Lewis.
“He’s in Bathgate and he can hear us loud and clear.
“He’ll be back.”
Paul Heaton was popular in Glasgow’s east end when he put substantial bar tabs behind five bars near to Glasgow Green.
He tweeted: “Glasgow, as a thank you, and a small amount of help during the cost of greed crisis, Paul is leaving some money behind the bar at a few local pubs near to TRNSMT festival so that some of you can have a drink on him tomorrow afternoon.”
On Saturday, indie band Kasabian will take to the festival’s main stage and Sam Fender will headline.
