Music fans enjoyed sunny weather over the weekend and braved temperatures of up to 30C.
Geoff Ellis, festival director of Trnsmt, said: 'This year's festival has undoubtedly been one of the best to date.
'While the weather has certainly been one of our star bookings, it's the fans who have truly made the weekend so special – a passionate, welcoming mix of ages, united in their love of live music and creating an atmosphere that has been nothing short of exceptional.
'Glasgow Green has provided a perfect setting once again, with the natural shade under the trees offering fans the opportunity to take respite from the sunshine and enjoy the surroundings at their own pace.
'Musically, the weekend has delivered some outstanding moments – Biffy Clyro gave a phenomenal headline performance, Fontaines DC drew a huge and energetic crowd, and Underworld brought an electrifying, club-like energy to the Smirnoff presents King Tut's Stage on Saturday night, following a fantastic set from Jake Bugg.
'It's also been a pleasure to showcase emerging talent: Nell Mescal, Alessi Rose, and Nieve Ella all gave impressive performances and are certainly names to watch for the future.
'I'm incredibly proud of what the entire team has accomplished this year, and I'd like to thank every artist and fan for contributing to such a memorable festival.'

Shawlands man arrested over 'Palestine Action poster in window'
Police were notified he had the poster displayed in the window of his property, it is understood. He will appear in court at a later date. A Police Scotland spokesperson said he was charged in connection with an offence under the Terrorism Act 2000 for displaying the poster at a property in the Shawlands area of the city. The force said the man is due to appear in court a later date and a report is being submitted to the Procurator Fiscal. Protests have been held after the group were proscribed under the Terrorism Act 2000 (Image: Lucy North) A Police Scotland spokesperson said: 'On Wednesday, 16 July, 2025, a 38-year-old man was arrested and charged in connection with an offence under the Terrorism Act 2000 for displaying a poster expressing support for a proscribed organisation at a property in the Shawlands area of Glasgow. 'He is due to appear in court at a later date. A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.' The group was outlawed after claiming responsibility after two Voyager aircraft were sprayed with paint inside RAF Brize Norton in June. The government said the group had a long history of criminal damage, with its activities increasing in frequency and severity.

(Image: Pol Allingham/PA Wire) The arrest follows an incident at the TRNSMT music festival in Glasgow, where a man was charged on Saturday for wearing a T-shirt bearing the message "Genocide in Palestine Time to Take Action." The words "Palestine" and "action" were in larger typeface than the rest of the text. Police Scotland said the 55-year-old had been charged in connection with an offence under the Terrorism Act, for wearing a T-shirt expressing support for a proscribed organisation. T-shirts with the message have been produced by the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign. In a post on Facebook, the campaign said one of its Glasgow members had been "charged at the roadside" at TRNSMT and the T-shirt had been confiscated. At the time of the ban, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said the government would "not tolerate" those who put the UK's national security "at risk."

Police Scotland charge man for 'Palestine Action poster in window'
The National understands that the 38-year-old man was displaying a poster alleged to contain the words 'Support Palestine Action! Free [[Palestine]]' in the window of his property in the Shawlands area of Glasgow. Police are understood to have visited the property on Monday and advised the man to take down the poster, who complied. READ MORE: Brian Leishman: 'Anas Sarwar hasn't spoken to me in six months' Officers then returned to the property on Wednesday, where the man was arrested and charged under terror law. It is understood that the man will appear in court in October. The terror group designation for Palestine Action, brought in by the Labour Government, means that membership of or support for the group is a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison. A Police Scotland spokesperson said: 'On Wednesday, July 16, 2025, a 38-year-old man was arrested and charged in connection with an offence under the Terrorism Act 2000 for displaying a poster expressing support for a proscribed organisation at a property in the Shawlands area of Glasgow. "He is due to appear in court at a later date. A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal." It came after a man was charged in Glasgow last week under suspicion of terror offences for wearing a T-shirt allegedly showing support for Palestine Action. READ MORE: Boy, 12, charged in connection with Kilmarnock fire The National understands that the 55-year-old activist was leafleting near the TRNSMT festival and was alleged to be wearing a T-shirt from the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign (SPSC) which read: 'Genocide in Palestine. Time to take action.' The words Palestine and Action were in a larger font than the other text. 'Action' was in red, while the rest of the words were in white. At the bottom, the SPSC website and logo appeared. A protest is set to take place in Edinburgh on Saturday against the 'silencing' of pro-[[Palestine]] voices in the UK, organised by the Edinburgh Gaza Genocide Emergency Committee. It is understood that a group of protesters are set to defy the proscription order and wear the same T-shirts as the man who was charged in Glasgow.
