Legendary producer Nile Rodgers gave Glasgow a music masterclass on Friday when he performed his impressive back catalogue of hits to the crowd.
Bringing the disco vibe to TRNSMT with Chic, the 69-year-old took fans on a nostalgic trip performing I Want Your Love and Freak Out.
He then proved his legendary status as he belted out the songs he wrote and produced for other artists which included everything from the Diana Ross hits I’m Coming Out and Upside Down to David Bowie’s Modern Love and Let’s Dance.

Surrounded by the soulful voices of Chic, Rodgers looked effortlessly cool as he showed off his musicianship on the guitar.
He then revealed Madonna’s Like A Virgin was the biggest album of his career.
He told the crowd, “Back in the early 80s. I met a young woman named Madonna. We got together and worked on an album,” before playing Like a Virgin and Material Girl.

Declaring that he is a two-time cancer survivor, he told the crowd he felt "lucky" as he introduced the Pharrell Williams chart-topper Get Lucky.
Fans young and old lapped up every second of the hour-long set before he finished in style with Good Times.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
