Fontaines D.C., who took to the main stage ahead of headliners Biffy Clyro, used their performance to draw attention to the ongoing conflict between Palestine and Israel.
As reported by The Glasgow Times, lead singer Grian Chatten led the crowd in a passionate 'Free Palestine' chant following the band's performance of Bug.
Audience members quickly joined in, with many seen waving Palestinian flags.

A Palestinian flag was draped over the band's stage equipment, and guitarist Carlos O'Connell displayed a 'Free Palestine' sticker on his guitar.
Fans of the band also paid tribute by wearing a unique Fontaines D.C. x Bohemians FC football shirt.
The limited-edition jersey, designed by O'Connell in collaboration with Dublin-based Bohemians Football Club, was released last year to raise funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP).
The kit also serves as a tribute to the band's acclaimed fourth album, Romance, which received widespread critical praise.

BBC staff who had authority to cut Bob Vylan livestream ‘were at Glastonbury'
It comes after the frontman of the punk rap duo, Bob Vylan, led crowds in chants of 'death, death to the IDF (Israeli Military Force)' during their set at the Somerset music festival. Police have since launched an investigation into the group with the BBC issuing an apology for the livestream and promising to no longer broadcast live acts they deem 'high risk'. In a letter responding to questions sent by Dame Caroline Dinenage MP, chairwoman of the Culture Media and Sport Committee, the director-general of the BBC, Tim Davie said: 'Cutting the livestream was an option open to those on the ground on the day. 'There were 550 personnel working for the BBC at Glastonbury. Of these 328 were working for BBC Studios (camera crew, rigging, technical and production roles), 35 providing coverage for BBC News, and 187 other BBC public service, working across a wide range of roles, including technical crew, producers, presenters, engineers, runners, commissioners and compliance staff.' He added: 'There were failures in our coverage which led to offensive content being broadcast live. I deeply regret that such deplorable behaviour appeared on the BBC and want to apologise to our viewers and listeners and in particular the Jewish community. 'In considering what to learn from this, my immediate priority was to take swift actions, as detailed above, to mitigate against anything similar happening in the future. 'At the same time we are taking actions to ensure there is proper accountability for those found to be responsible for the failings in the live broadcast; and we are urgently reviewing our guidelines to see if any further measures are needed.' Since their Glastonbury set, Bob Vylan, made up of frontman Bobby Vylan, whose real name is reportedly Pascal Robinson-Foster, and drummer Bobbie Vylan, have reportedly been dropped by their agency, United Talent Agency (UTA), which appears to have removed the group from their website, and have also been pulled from a number of concerts – including their US tour after having their visas revoked. The group announced on Monday, in a post on Instagram, that they were unable to join rock band, Gogol Bordello, on their European Tour. The statement said: 'Due to logistical complications, we have decided not to join our friends Gogol Bordello on their upcoming European Tour. However, we will be heading to Europe in the coming months for both festivals and headline shows.' It comes after the group performed a sold-out gig in London last week where Bobby Vylan said: 'We are a loving band, we love you lot for being here with us. We love the Palestinian people. 'Their strength, their resilience, their ability to keep on going in the face of it all is a beautiful and inspiring thing. 'So as hard as this week may have been for us, it has been nothing in comparison to what the Palestinian people are going through right now.'

This kid, 4, features in Oasis' reunion tour alongside Scottish town
Oscar Borland features in the official programme for the rock and roll band, who recently returned to the stage for the first time in 16 years. The Gallagher brothers are playing to sold-out arenas across the globe and the four-year-old will feature in the pamphlet at all gigs. READ NEXT: Fontaines D.C. fans are all wearing this ONE thing to TRNSMT READ NEXT: I saw Jake Bugg at TRNSMT - he should have been on the Main Stage The picture was taken in Erskine earlier this year (Image: Supplied) Raymond, Oscar's dad, explained how the opportunity came about. He said: "I have been a huge Oasis fan ever since I can remember. From 1996 onwards I was hooked. "As I have gotten older, and during the time period when the band had broken up, I have been really into collecting Oasis memorabilia. "As a result of this obsession, I got to know Brian Cannon, who designed a lot of things for the band at their peak, such as album covers. "We became good friends after I started going to his shop Mircobot Boutique, down south in Kendal, which sells merchandise from the band and other groups." The programme is currently available for sale at the gigs (Image: Supplied) Despite his age, Raymond says his son realises something exciting is happening. He also opened up on the meaning behind Oscar's picture in the programme. Raymound continued: "Brian knew there would not be any new music on this tour and wanted to design the programme like an album cover, with 20 pages to fill. "The idea he came up with was to base the pictures in the programme around B-side songs that some fans think should have been singles. "I jokingly said about getting Oscar involved and amazingly it ended up happening. "Oasis have a song called Fade Away and the lyrics Brian referred to were 'The dreams we have as children fade away.' "Oscar was photographed on a football pitch in Erskine, throwing the Definitely Maybe Globe in the air and a flight case with Oasis on it beside him, the idea being he was dreaming of being in the band. "Noel Gallagher had the final say and he signed it off." Oscar was "very excited" to appear in the programme (Image: Supplied) Oasis will play three gigs at Murrayfield next month and Raymond, who will be attending two of the concerts with friends, and family, can't wait to see the programme in person. He added: "The family are all so proud of Oscar and he was brilliant throughout the shoot. "I didn't want to see the finished product until it was confirmed Oscar would be in the programme. "I am really happy with how it turned out and can't wait to buy it at the gigs."
