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.'

MasterChef star John Torode's explosive statement in full after being ‘asked to resign over racist remark'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MASTERCHEF host John Torode has released an explosive statement responding to allegations he made a racist remark. The Australian chef, 59, has been dragged into the Gregg Wallace report after it was claimed the BBC asked him to resign over the alleged comments. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 John Torode has responded to claims that he used racist language while working alongside Gregg Wallace on Masterchef Credit: PA 4 The Australian chef, 59, said he had no recollection of using racist language Credit: Rex Features 4 Gregg Wallace is facing dozens of complaints over his conduct while working for the BBC Credit: Getty The TV chef was cited - but not named - in the damning dossier over an incident dating back over eight years. He allegedly made a racist remark during a private conversation - something John denies having any recollection of ever taking place. Shockingly, the BBC and production company Banijay asked John to resign last week - and claim he had mental health problems. He refused and has now issued a statement to The Sun confirming he was investigated over the alleged remarks. John told how he intended to cause no offence to the person he was talking to and apologised immediately after the alleged incident at the time. He has now come out and said: 'Following publication of the Executive Summary of the Investigation into Gregg Wallace while working on MasterChef, I am aware of speculation that I am one of the two other individuals against whom an allegation has been upheld. 'For the sake of transparency I confirm that I am the individual who is alleged to have used racial language on one occasion. 'The allegation is that I did so sometime between 2018 or 2019, in a social situation, and that the person I was speaking with did not believe that it was intended in a malicious way and that I apologised immediately afterwards. 'I have absolutely no recollection of any of this, and I do not believe that it happened. 'However, I want to be clear that I've always had the view that any racial language is wholly unacceptable in any environment. 'We'll never work with him again', blast BBC as Gregg Wallace report reveals 'substantial' allegations over 19 YEARS 'I'm shocked and saddened by the allegation as I would never wish to cause anyone any offence.' Last night a source close to the chef added: 'John is absolutely devastated to have been pulled into this mess. 'John absolutely loves MasterChef, and doesn't want to lose his job because of an investigation into his co-star. 'As Gregg has pointed out broadcasting is becoming a dangerous place especially when there is no concrete evidence. 'If the BBC let him go for this, where will it all end? There will soon be no-one left on telly.' It follows a series of serious complaints being made about co-star and close friend Gregg Wallace. In a bombshell report, 45 of 83 complaints about the TV star's bad behaviour had been upheld - leading to his sacking last week. One included unwelcome physical contact and another three of being in a state of undress. The under-fire host, 60, yesterday apologised, saying he 'never set out to harm or humiliate'. In total, the report says 83 allegations were made against Wallace, with the majority of the substantiated claims relating to inappropriate sexual language and humour, but also culturally insensitive or racist comments. The inquiry, conducted by an independent law firm, was ordered by Banijay in the wake of a BBC News investigation which first revealed claims of inappropriate sexual comments against Wallace. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said he 'welcomed' the BBC cutting ties with Gregg Wallace and demanded action to end future 'abuses of power'. The PM's spokesman said he still has 'confidence' in the Corporation but that it must take steps to 'ensure the public retains trust'. The BBC has now also admitted the new series of MasterChef is still hanging in the balance. Wallace is said to feature in the 20 episodes yet to be released. Grace Dent is now set to be announced as his replacement on MasterChef UK, The Sun on Sunday revealed. The food critic, 51, is understood to have been asked to start filming for MasterChef UK alongside chef Torode at the end of the summer. It is unclear how the recent report and claims from the Aussie chef may change the BBC's scheduling. What did the report find? FORTY-five allegations made against Gregg Wallace during his time on MasterChef, including one of "unwelcome physical contact", were found to have been substantiated. An independent report commissioned by production company Banijay assessed 83 allegations against Wallace. The report substantiated: - Twelve claims he made inappropriate jokes and innuendo; - Sixteen reports he made sexually explicit comments; - Two allegations that he made sexualised comments to or about someone; - Four complaints that he made culturally insensitive or racist comments; - Three claims that he was in a state of undress; - Seven allegations of bullying; - One allegation of unwanted touching. The allegations span from 2005 to 2024

Australian man held in custody in Scotland after being charged with smashing glass containing Stone of Destiny
The artefact has been associated with the Scottish and UK monarchies for centuries MUSEUM 'DISTURBANCE' Australian man held in custody in Scotland after being charged with smashing glass containing Stone of Destiny Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MAN has appeared in court charged with "malicious mischief" following reports that the glass case containing the Stone of Destiny was broken. It follows an incident at Perth Museum on Saturday afternoon, where visitors reported a man in a kilt attempting to smash through the case containing the ancient artefact. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 A man has been charged after reports that the glass casing protecting the Stone of Destiny was smashed 3 Cops raced to Perth Museum on Saturday afternoon Credit: PA The Stone of Destiny has long been associated with the monarchy. Police said they had arrested and charged someone following a "disturbance" at the museum, which has the sandstone block as its centrepiece exhibition. On Monday, 35-year-old Arnaud Harixcalde Logan appeared at Perth Sheriff Court facing a single charge of malicious mischief. His address was listed as Sydney, Australia. No plea was entered, and he was remanded in custody. The next appearance is due to take place in eight days. In Scots law, malicious mischief is an offence which deals with behaviour which damages or destroys the property of another, similar to vandalism. The artefact, also known as the Stone of Scone, was moved to Perth Museum in 2024 as part of a £27 million redevelopment. It has been associated with the Scottish and UK monarchies for centuries. The Stone of Destiny was used in Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953 and also in the coronation of the King in 2023.

Constance Marten and Mark Gordon convicted over death of their newborn baby
More than 1,000 Metropolitan Police officers searched for Victoria for two days before she was discovered wrapped in a pink sheet and hidden beneath dirt and rubbish in a Lidl bag, ITV News' Cari Davies reports Constance Marten and her partner Mark Gordon have been convicted of the gross negligence manslaughter of their newborn baby. Marten, 38, and Gordon, 51, went on the run with daughter Victoria in early 2023 after their four other children were taken into care. Police had launched a nationwide hunt after their car burst into flames on the motorway near Bolton, Greater Manchester. The couple travelled across England and went off-grid, sleeping in a tent on the South Downs where baby Victoria died. After seven weeks on the run, the defendants were arrested in Brighton, East Sussex. Following a desperate search, police found their baby dead amid rubbish inside a Lidl bag in a disused shed nearby. Victoria's remains were too badly decomposed to establish the cause of death. The prosecution said she died from hypothermia in the cold and damp conditions inside the flimsy tent or was smothered. The defendants claimed their daughter's death was a tragic accident after Marten fell asleep on her. A jury in their retrial found Marten and Gordon unanimously guilty of manslaughter on Monday. In their first trial last year, the defendants were convicted of perverting the course of justice, concealing the birth of a child and child cruelty. CCTV footage of Constance Marten with baby Victoria as she put her under her coat in East Ham, London. / Credit: Metropolitan Police/PA Detective Superintendent Lewis Basford of Scotland Yard, said: 'Today, the justice we have long fought for has been finally been served for baby Victoria. 'The selfish actions of Mark Gordon and Constance Marten resulted in the death of a newborn baby who should have had the rest of her life ahead of her.' The senior officer said Victoria's death was 'completely avoidable' as the defendant had plenty of opportunities to 'do the right thing' and ask for help. In light of the conviction, the family court decision to take Marten's four other children into care was 'shown to be right', he said. When Marten became pregnant for a fifth time, she kept it secret, giving birth in a hired holiday cottage on Christmas Eve 2022. The defendants' attempts to keep baby Victoria under wraps prompted the major police alert after a placenta was found inside their abandoned car near Bolton on January 5 2023.

They spent hundreds of pounds on taxis to take them from the North West, to Harwich in Essex, East Ham in London and on to Newhaven. Victoria was only briefly glimpsed on CCTV footage in London wearing the same babygrow, later recovered with her body inside the Lidl bag. The prosecution asserted that Victoria was carried under Marten's jacket or in a Lidl bag without adequate clothing, warmth or shelter. After she died, the defendants were caught on CCTV scavenging in bins for food even though Marten had received thousands of pounds from a trust fund and had £19,000 in the bank. The defendants were arrested after buying supplies in Brighton on February 27 2023, and refused to say where the baby was, with Gordon declaring: 'What's the big deal?' Police interview Constance Marten after her arrest. / Credit: Metropolitan Police/PA More than 1,000 Metropolitan Police officers searched for Victoria for two days before she was discovered in an allotment shed wrapped in a pink sheet and hidden beneath dirt and rubbish in a Lidl bag. In a police interview, Marten said: 'I had her in my jacket and I hadn't slept properly in quite a few days and erm, I fell asleep holding her sitting up and she, when I woke up, she wasn't alive.' Jurors were told Marten had been warned by social workers about the risk of falling asleep with a baby lying on her and that a tent was unsuitable. Both defendants gave evidence in their retrial, but each cut short their testimony, with Marten, an aristocrat, describing the prosecution as 'heartless' and 'diabolical'. Jurors in the defendant's first trial in 2024 were not told about Gordon's violent past, which was only partly revealed in their second trial. In 1989, Gordon, then aged 14, held a woman against her will in Florida for more than four hours and raped her while armed with a 'knife and hedge clippers'. Within a month, he entered another property and carried out another offence involving aggravated battery.

Jurors in the retrial appeared visibly shaken by the revelations, even though Marten had accidentally blurted out Gordon's rape conviction while giving evidence. In 2017, Gordon was convicted of assaulting two female police officers at a maternity unit in Wales where Marten gave birth to their first child under a fake identity. Jurors were not told that Gordon was also suspected of an incident of domestic violence in 2019, which left Marten with a shattered spleen. Gordon had refused to allow paramedics into their London flat to treat her, even though she was 14 weeks pregnant, it emerged during a legal argument. She spent eight days in hospital, then put her life and that of her unborn child at risk by attempting to discharge herself, with Gordon's support, it was alleged. It was following that incident that the family court decided the couple's other children should be taken into care.
