Fontaines DC lead Palestine chant during TRNSMT set
(Image: Images by Gordon Terris, Newsquest) Grian led a free free Palestine chant after their tune, Bug, and the crowd quickly joined in as a sea of Palestine flags went up in the air.
The Irish group had a Palestine flag draped over their equipment on stage and Carlos O'Connell had a free Palestine sticker on his guitar.
(Image: Images by Gordon Terris, Newsquest) The pinnacle of the set was when the group performed I Love You from their album, Skinty Fia.
Free Palestine appeared on the two big screens on either side of the stage as Grian belted the line 'Selling genocide' in the song's bridge and a Palestine flag appeared on the huge screen behind them.
They also displayed the sign 'Israel is committing genocide, use your voice' during the song.
It wasn't long before the crowd led their own free Palestine chant.

The design, which is a third alternative jersey, raised funds for Medical Aid For Palestinians (MAP) when it was released last year.
The top is also a homage to the band's award-winning fourth album Romance.
(Image: Images by Gordon Terris, Newsquest) Fontaines played an incredible set this evening, with strong choices from each of their albums.
Before playing Favourite from their new album Romance, Grian dedicated the song to Glasgow, revealing the city is the band's home away from home.
He added: "We love you."

Taking to the mic one last time, he said: "Cheers Glasgow. Free Palestine."
