Chloe Frame took to the decks at TRNSMT as she opened up the Boogie Bar on Sunday.
The 23-year-old was the first act of the day on the final day of the Glasgow Green festival.
And Chloe has told how she was stunned to find hundreds of revellers had rushed to the dance music area to get the party started, early doors.
Chloe told Ayrshire Live: "It was honestly just amazing, the best gig I've ever played.
"I was literally the first one in, the doors weren't even open yet but it just picked up.
"My dad and family were there and I could see them at the front but within 30 minutes I couldn't see anyone, it was just a sea of colours.
"People holding up Scotland flags and dancing. It was just wild.
"The crowd just had so much energy, they were just loving it. It kept me going the whole time, they were amazing."
Last week former Belmont Academy pupil Chloe told how she only started to pursue her DJ dream in January.
She revealed that she set a target to play her first festival by 2025 but has already smashed that goal with yesterdays performance.
And she admits she is still pinching herself after her festival debut.
Chloe added: "I keep having moments today where I ask myself ‘did that actually just happen?'
“I’m looking back on pictures and videos like ‘that’s me, how is that me?’
“It is just surreal. It’s by far the best thing I’ve done.
"People kept saying to me, 'there is no way you started in January'. I still can't believe it myself."
After ticking off TRNSMT Chloe has revealed her next dream would be to play to a home crowd when Ewan McVicar's Pavilion Festival returns next year.
